Returns Policy

Eligibility for Returns

1. Timeframe: Items must be returned within 7 days of confirmed delivery (based on carrier tracking).
2. Condition: Items must be unused, unopened, in original packaging, and in the same condition as received.
3. Proof of Purchase: A valid order number or receipt is required.
4. Non-Returnable Items: Opened or partially used products, gift cards, sale/clearance items, and custom or made-to-order products are non-returnable.

Return Authorization
All returns must be authorized prior to being sent back. Unauthorized returns may be refused or deemed ineligible for a refund. Customers must contact us within the 7-day return window to request approval.

Refunds

Approval Process
Once returned items are received, they will be inspected and customers will be notified of approval or rejection of the refund.

Processing Time
Approved refunds are processed within 7–10 business days and issued to the original payment method.

Shipping Costs
Original shipping fees are non-refundable under all circumstances. Return shipping fees are the responsibility of the customer unless the item is defective, damaged, or incorrect.

We reserve the right to charge a restocking fee of up to 15% on eligible returned items.

Exchanges

1. Damaged, defective, or incorrect items must be reported within 7 days of delivery.
2. Photo evidence may be required to process claims.
3. Exchanges are subject to availability. If unavailable, a refund will be issued.

Return Shipping

Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs.

Exceptions apply only if the item received is defective, damaged, or incorrect. In these cases, Soma Sahumae will cover return shipping costs or provide a prepaid return label.

We recommend using a trackable shipping service, as we are not responsible for lost or undelivered return shipments.

How to Initiate a Return or Exchange

1. Email: sales@palosantofromecuador.com with your order number, issue description, and photos (if applicable).
2. Once approved, return instructions and the return address will be provided.

Late or Missing Refunds

If a refund has not been received within the stated timeframe, first check with your bank or payment provider, as processing times may vary. If the issue persists, contact us at sales@palosantofromecuador.com.

Chargebacks

Customers agree to contact Soma Sahumae first to resolve any issue before initiating a chargeback. Unresolved chargebacks may result in delayed resolution and potential restrictions on future orders.
