Refund policy

Returns & Exchanges

Every SCANDALINEN piece is handcrafted to order in our Hanoi workshop. We put real care into every stitch — and we want you to feel that. If something isn’t right, we will make it right.

What Can Be Returned or Exchanged

You may return or exchange any eligible item within 30 days of delivery, provided it is:

•       Unworn, unwashed, and unused

•       In its original condition with all labels attached

•       Returned in its original packaging

The following items are not eligible for return or exchange:

•       Custom or made-to-measure orders (items produced to your specific dimensions)

•       Items marked as Final Sale or Clearance

•       Pillow inserts and protectors

•       Fabric samples and cut-to-length linen fabric

•       Gift cards

•       Bedding that has been used, washed, or altered

Because our products are handcrafted and often made to your measurements, we encourage you to review our Size Guide before ordering. If you have any questions about sizing or fabric, reach out to us first — we’re happy to help you choose the right option.

How to Start a Return or Exchange

We keep this simple. No portal, no complicated forms.

1.     Email us at scandalinen@gmail.com or message us on WhatsApp at +84 936188661

2.    Tell us your order number, the item(s) you’d like to return or exchange, and the reason.

3.    We’ll confirm eligibility and send you instructions within 1–2 business days.

4.    Pack the item securely and ship it back using the method we agree on.

Please do not ship anything back before hearing from us. Packages returned without prior confirmation may not be processed.

Refunds

Once we receive and inspect your return, we will confirm by email. Approved refunds are issued to your original payment method within 10 business days of us receiving the item.

 

Refunds cover the full selling price of the returned item. The following are not included in the refund:

•       Original shipping costs

•       Return shipping costs (unless the return is due to our error — see below)

Exchanges

Want a different size, color, or item? We’re glad to help. Contact us at scandalinen@gmail.com or WhatsApp +84 936 188 661 with your order number and what you’d like instead. We’ll check availability and confirm the exchange before you send anything back.

If there is a price difference between the original and replacement item, we will either invoice the difference or issue a partial refund accordingly.

Who Pays Return Shipping?

We believe in being straightforward about this:

•       If we made a mistake (wrong item, wrong size, manufacturing defect) — we cover all return shipping costs. For international orders, we will arrange a courier pickup from your address at no charge to you.

•       If you changed your mind or ordered the wrong size — return shipping is at your expense. We recommend using a tracked shipping service, as we cannot issue a refund for items lost in transit.

For international returns: Please mark return packages clearly as “Returned Goods — No Commercial Value” to avoid double customs charges.

Defective or Incorrect Items

We inspect every item before it leaves our workshop. But if something arrives damaged or not as described — wrong size, wrong color, broken stitches, open seams, or any manufacturing defect — you are entitled to a full refund including all shipping and handling costs, or a free replacement if you prefer.

Please contact us within 30 days of delivery with:

•       Your order number

•       A clear photo of the defect or issue

•       A brief description of what went wrong

We will respond within 1–2 business days and resolve it quickly.

Natural linen characteristics — slight color variation between batches, minor texture irregularities, and 2–3% shrinkage after the first wash — are not considered manufacturing defects. These are inherent properties of natural fiber. For care instructions, visit our Linen Care Guide.

Gifts

Received a SCANDALINEN item as a gift and need to exchange it? We can exchange it for another item or issue a gift voucher of equal value. If a cash refund is needed, it can only be processed to the original payment method used at purchase — please have the gift giver contact us directly in that case.
