Cash on Delivery is not currently available. When introduced, refunds for COD orders will be processed via NEFT bank transfer to the account details provided by you, within 7 working days.

3.3 Partial Refunds

If your order included a coupon discount and only part of the order is returned, the refund amount will be the item price minus the pro-rated discount applied. The coupon discount amount is non-refundable.

3.4 Non-Refundable Scenarios

Consumer Protection Act, 2019 — Section 2(9)
You have the right to seek compensation for defective goods. If you receive a genuinely defective product, we will either replace it or refund you in full — your choice. No restocking fees will ever be charged.

4. Damaged or Lost in Transit

4.1 Damaged on Arrival

If your parcel arrives visibly damaged, do not accept the delivery if possible, or note the damage on the courier receipt. Take clear photographs of the damaged outer packaging and the product inside, and email us at dispatch@theprowl.in within 48 hours of delivery with your Order ID and photos.

We will arrange a full replacement or refund within 5–7 business days upon verification.

4.2 Lost in Transit

If your tracking shows no movement for more than 5 business days or the parcel is marked as delivered but not received, contact us immediately. We will initiate a courier investigation. If the parcel is confirmed lost, we will dispatch a replacement or issue a full refund within 7–10 business days.

5. Exchange Policy

Direct product exchanges (same product, different size) are not available at this time. This is because once a garment is shipped, we cannot guarantee inventory of the same item in another size.

For defective items: You may choose between a full refund or a replacement of the same item (same size, subject to stock). We will confirm availability within 48 hours of your return request.

If you need a different size, we recommend placing a new order for the correct size and initiating a return (if eligible) for the original order.
