We have a 14-day return policy, which means you have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return.
18. What condition must returned items be in?
To be eligible for a return, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
19. How do I start a return?
To start a return, you can contact us at info@petalsea.com or by initiating a return via the returns flow linked in your order confirmation. Please note that returns will need to be sent to the return address that is provided by Customer Care.
20. Where do I send returns?
If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Items sent back to us without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

If your return is accepted, we’ll send you a return shipping label (per the policy text). For initial questions, contact info@petalsea.com.

Please inspect your order upon reception and contact us immediately if the item is defective, damaged or if you receive the wrong item, so that we can evaluate the issue and make it right.
23. Exceptions / Non-returnable items
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like goods (such as candles), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products). We also do not accept returns for hazardous materials, such as flammable items. Please get in touch if you have questions or concerns about your specific item. Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns on sale items or gift cards.
24. Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to make a separate purchase for the new item and return the item you have, once the return is accepted.
25. European Union right to cancel
Notwithstanding the above, if the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 days, for any reason and without a justification. As above, your item must be in the same condition that you received it, unworn or unused, with tags, and in its original packaging. You’ll also need the receipt or proof of purchase.
26. Refund timing
We will notify you once we’ve received and inspected your return, and let you know if the refund was approved or not. If approved, you will be automatically refunded on your original payment method within 10 business days. Please remember it can take some time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund too. If more than 15 business days have passed since we’ve approved your return, please contact us at info.petalsea@gmail.com.
Payments
27. What payment methods do you accept?
We accept major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), PayPal (including PayPal Pay in 4), Apple Pay, Google Pay, and buy-now-pay-later services such as Afterpay, Klarna, and Zip. Availability may vary by region and product.
28. Is it safe to use my card on your site?
Yes. We use HTTPS and trusted payment processors to protect your card details. We do not store full card numbers on our servers; payment data is tokenized by the payment provider.
29. Pay in 4 — PayPal Pay in 4
PayPal Pay in 4 allows eligible customers to split their purchase into four interest-free payments through PayPal. Select PayPal at checkout and choose the Pay in 4 option if available — approval and terms are provided by PayPal.
30. Afterpay
Afterpay splits your purchase into four interest-free installments due every two weeks. Choose Afterpay at checkout and complete the quick sign-up and approval through Afterpay. Late fees and regional rules may apply — see Afterpay terms for details.
31. Klarna
Klarna offers flexible pay-later options (for example Pay in 3, Pay in 30, or other interest-free installments depending on availability). Select Klarna at checkout and follow Klarna’s flow for approval and terms.
32. Zip
Zip (and Zip installment options) allows you to split purchases into scheduled payments. Choose Zip at checkout and follow the provider’s authentication/approval steps.
33. How are refunds handled for pay-later payments?
Refunds are issued to the original payment method. For pay-later services (PayPal Pay in 4, Afterpay, Klarna, Zip), we coordinate with the provider to update or cancel upcoming payments; you may still owe installments until the provider processes the refund per their terms.
34. Can I split payment across multiple methods?
Split-payment across multiple methods in a single checkout is typically not supported. If you need to divide payment, place multiple orders or contact support to discuss options.

38. Do you offer extended sizes?
Available sizes vary by product. Use collection filters to find extended sizing where offered.
