So you need to return?  That happens...but we love our clients to be completely satisfied with their first choice, so we encourage you to ask questions upfront about sizing, length, material, etc. by reaching out to us via email at admin@shopbluewillow.com. That will help ensure we can avoid the time-consuming and expensive dance that is returns/exchanges.

Be sure to inspect your item upon arrival.  If there are any issues, please let us know right away so we can take care of you!

We offer refunds in the form of in-store credit if items are received back to us within 14 days of you receiving your purchase. If 14 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

Please do not ship back your items if they are outside of our return window or do not meet the requirements. We cannot send it back for free.  Please note, refunds are in the form of STORE CREDIT or EXCHANGE only - NO CASH REFUNDS will be given.

Refund for store credit (if applicable):

Once your return is received and inspected, we will send you an email to notify you that we have received your returned item. We will also notify you of the approval or rejection of your refund.

If you are anxious about exchanging for a size or color and know we sell out quick, shoot us an email at admin@shopbluewillow.com and we don't mind holding your exchange for you until your return is processed!! We know how it is to absolutely want that certain piece that you can't live without!! 

Our items can sell very quickly and we can not guarantee your exact item will be available for an exchange.

Important FYI on shipping:

• USPS will not update tracking until the item arrives at the USPS sorting station. This does not mean we have not shipped your package so please allow 24 hours for them to update tracking.

• It is your responsibility to make sure your shipping address is correct at checkout. If your item is returned to us because it was sent to the wrong address or the address was undeliverable, it is not Blue Willow's responsibility to pay shipping to resend it.  If the address supplied to us is wrong, or your package is lost because of this, Blue Willow Boutique cannot be held responsible.   

• If you return an item that is not eligible for return, Blue Willow Boutique is not responsible for the shipping costs to get your item back to you. Your options would be: for us to charge you shipping to return your item to you or we keep the item and unfortunately can not issue you in store credit. If you have any questions on whether your item is eligible for a return, please contact us before you ship it back.
