Refund policy

Effective Date: March 8, 2026

At Luxe Magics (www.luxemagics.com), we want you to love what you get. But if something goes wrong, we'll make it right.

Returns & Refunds Overview

We offer refunds or replacements for damaged or defective products. Since all our products are custom-made specifically for you, we cannot accept returns on personalized items unless there's an issue with quality or an error on our part.

---

Damaged or Defective Products

If your product arrives damaged or defective, we've got you covered.

What to do:

  1. Take a video (10-15 seconds) showing the damage to both packaging and product
  2. Email it to us at support@luxemagics.com within 7 days of delivery
  3. Include your order number and registered email/phone number

We will respond within 2 business days and either:
Send you a replacement (free shipping), OR Issue a full refund to your original payment method

---

Why We Need a Video

Shipping can be rough. The video helps us:
- File claims with our shipping partner
- Improve our packaging for future orders
- Process your claim faster (no back-and-forth asking for more photos)

---

Customization Errors

If we made a mistake with your customization:

Examples:

  • Wrong photo printed
  • Spelling error in personalized text
  • Incorrect design/layout
  • Missing elements you requested

What we'll do:

  • Remake your product at no cost
  •  Rush ship the replacement
  • You keep the incorrect item (or dispose of it)

What to do:

  • Email us at support@luxemagics.com with a photo
  • We'll verify the error and immediately start the replacement

---

Non-Refundable Items

We cannot accept returns or offer refunds for:

  •  Personalized/Custom products in good condition (These are made specifically for you with your photos/text once created, we cannot resell them)
  • Change of mind (I don't like how it looks (after approving the preview for AR frames)

Why? Every product is custom-made. We can't reuse your personalized items.

Exception: If we made an error or sent a damaged product, we'll absolutely fix it.

---

AR Frame Preview Approval

For AR Frames specifically:

  • We send you a preview within 1-2 days of your order
  • You must approve before we print
  • Once you approve, we proceed to printing
  • After approval, we cannot accept returns for "I changed my mind about the design"

Pro tip: Take your time reviewing the preview. Ask for changes if needed. We're happy to adjust!

---

   - Alternate delivery locations (if you specified any)

  • If courier has proof of delivery: We cannot process refund (but we'll share the proof with you)

---

Replacement vs Refund - How We Decide

We usually suggest:

Replacement if:

  • You're in a metro/major city (faster to get to you)
  • Product is in stock
  • You still want the item

Refund if:

  • You're in a remote location (replacement would take too long)
  • Product is out of stock
  • You prefer money back instead

You can request either one! We'll do our best to accommodate your preference.

---

Partial Refunds

In some cases, we may offer a partial refund:

  • Minor damage that doesn't affect functionality (small scratch, slight discoloration)
  • Shipping delays beyond promised date
  • Quality issues that are minor but noticeable

We'll discuss this with you and mutually agree on a fair resolution.

---

Return Shipping

You don't need to ship anything back to us in most cases.

For damaged products:

  • Just send us the video
  • We don't need the physical item returned
  • You can keep or dispose of the damaged product

For customization errors:

  • Keep the incorrect item
  • We'll send the correct one

Why? Shipping costs + time make it inefficient. We'd rather send you a replacement quickly.

---

Cancellations

Before Processing. Can I cancel my order?

Yes, if:

  • Order hasn't been processed yet (within 2-3 hours of placing order on business days)
  • AR frame preview hasn't been sent yet

Contact us immediately:

  • Email: hello@luxemagics.com
  • WhatsApp: +91 7207219977

Full refund if cancelled before processing

After Processing

Once we've started making your product:

  • We cannot cancel
  • Product is custom-made for you
  • Refer to our refund policy for damaged/defective items

AR Frames - Special Case

  • If preview is sent but not yet approved: Cancellation possible
  • If you've approved the preview: We've already started printing, cannot cancel

---

Exchange Policy

Can I exchange for a different product/size?

No, we don't offer exchanges because:

  • Every product is custom-made
  • We can't predict what you'd want instead
  • Each item takes 2-3 days to create

Instead:

  • Place a new order for what you want
