REFUND & RETURNS POLICY
 
Store: Precious Flame
Effective Date: 21 October 2026
 
Thank you for choosing Precious Flame. Our mission is to deliver high-quality moments of presence, stillness, and heartfelt connection through the beautiful gift of giving. We want every gifting experience to be cherished and joyful. If you or your gift recipient are not completely satisfied with an order, we are here to assist you.
 
 
 
1. Return Window & Eligibility
 
We offer a 30-day return policy on standard, non-personalised items. You have 30 calendar days from the date you receive your package to request a return.
 
To be eligible for a return:
 
- Item must be unworn, unused, and in the exact condition you received it
- Must be returned in original luxury presentation packaging, including sentiment message card, inserts, and all accessories
- You must provide your order number or proof of purchase
 
 
 
2. Personalised & Custom Items
 
Because each personalised product is made especially for you, we’re unable to accept returns for items that include custom details such as names, dates, signatures, or other personalised information.
 
That said, we truly want you to be happy with your purchase. While personalised items aren’t eligible for a return, we may be able to offer store credit or a discount of up to 30% off at our discretion to help make things right.
 
 
 
3. Customer Errors
 
Please double-check all personalised details before ordering — including names, dates, spelling, and custom information. As personalised items are made to your exact specifications, we cannot accept returns or exchanges due to customer-entered errors.
 
However, we understand that mistakes can happen!  If something doesn’t look right, please get in touch — we’ll always do our best to help and find a solution.
