# Return & Refund Policy, ACME Outdoor _Last updated: 2026-04-21_ Thank you for shopping with [ACME Outdoor](https://acmeoutdoor.com). We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If something isn't right, this policy explains how to return items and what to expect. ## Overview We offer a **30-day return window** from the date of delivery. Nothing in this policy limits any rights you may have under applicable consumer-protection laws. ## Return Window You have **30 calendar days** from the date your order is delivered to initiate a return. After this period, we are unable to accept returns unless the item is defective or not as described. ## Eligibility Items must be unused, unworn, and in their original packaging with all tags still attached. ## Non-Returnable Items The following items cannot be returned: - Items marked as sale or clearance - Personalised, custom, or made-to-order items - Digital goods and downloadable products - Intimate wear, swimwear, earrings, and personal-hygiene products (for health and safety reasons) If you believe your item is defective, please contact us regardless of the above, we will assess each case individually. ## How to Return an Item 1. Email us at **support@acmeoutdoor.com** with your order number and the reason for return. 2. We will respond within 2 business days with return instructions and (if applicable) a return shipping label. 3. Pack the item securely in its original packaging where possible. 4.
