Effective Date: 23-10-2025
Return & Exchange Policy (Domestic & International)
Statutory Rights: Nothing in this Policy affects your consumer rights under Bahrain Consumer Protection Law No. 35 of 2012. If a product is defective or not as described, you are entitled to a replacement or a refund at no cost.
1) Eligibility & General Conditions
- Items must be unused, in their original packaging, and accompanied by a receipt/proof of purchase.
- Cosmetics & personal care: for health protection, opened/used items are not returnable or exchangeable unless faulty or not as described.
- Please report in-transit damage or visible defects as soon as reasonably practicable (preferably within 48 hours) to help us investigate. This does not limit your statutory rights.
2) Defective or Not-as-Described (Domestic & International)
- We will provide a replacement or refund at no cost (including return shipping, if applicable).
- Contact us at info@thaihousebh.com with your order number, photos/video (if available), and a brief description.
- We will arrange return or pickup instructions and process the resolution promptly.
3) Change-of-Mind (Non-Defective)
3.1 Domestic (Bahrain)
- Exchange only within 7 days of receipt if unopened and in resellable condition.
- Visit our store with the item and receipt: Block 341, Road 41, Building 428, Juffair, Manama.
- Customer pays any price difference if the new item is higher; if lower, we may issue a store credit for the difference.
3.2 International
- Exchange within 14 days of receipt if unopened and in resellable condition.
- Email info@thaihousebh.com to obtain return instructions and the return address before shipping anything back.
- For change-of-mind returns, the customer arranges and pays for return shipping. Once received and inspected, we will guide you to place a new order.
4) Unclaimed / Hold-for-Pickup / RTS (Returned to Sender)
If delivery fails due to receiver unavailability, or you request Hold-for-Pickup and the parcel is not collected within the carrier’s window, the shipment may be returned to sender (RTS). When there is no defect or non-conformity, you may choose:
- Reshipment to a confirmed address — you pay only the actual reship/return freight charged by the carrier (no handling/admin fees from us); or
- Refund of goods value only once we receive the items back in sellable condition.
Note: The original outbound shipping is a consumed service (transport, delivery attempt, hold-for-pickup) and is therefore non-refundable, except where required by law in cases of defect/non-conformity.
No Response After RTS: If we notify you of an RTS and receive no written instruction within 3 business days, we may proceed — acting reasonably — with Refund of goods value only (to the original payment method) and notify you accordingly. This does not affect your statutory rights.
5) Customs, Duties & Taxes (International)
Orders are supplied on a DAP (Delivered At Place) basis unless stated otherwise. You are responsible for local import duties/taxes/clearance fees. If duties/taxes are refused or clearance is not completed, the RTS policy above applies.
6) How to Start a Return/Exchange
- Email info@thaihousebh.com with your order number, reason (defect/non-conformity or change-of-mind), and supporting photos/videos where applicable.
- Wait for our confirmation and return instructions (and a return authorization, if required).
- Pack the item securely with the invoice. For international returns, mark the airway bill “Return shipment to Thai House Cosmetics”.
- Share the tracking number and keep proof of postage. Risk of loss passes to us upon receipt.
7) Refunds, Timelines & Methods
- For defect/non-conformity: replacement or refund at no cost. Refunds are issued to the original payment method.
- For change-of-mind: domestic exchange only; international exchange per Section 3.2. Where a refund of goods value is applicable (e.g., RTS), we process it within 3–5 business days after inspection. Bank processing times may vary.
- Price differences on exchanges: you pay any balance due. If the new item is cheaper, we may issue a store credit for the difference (not applicable to defective/non-conforming cases where full legal remedies apply).
