Return Policy

Last updated: [12/14/25]

At ViaWell, we want every customer to feel confident when shopping with us. As a multi-vendor marketplace, returns are processed in partnership with the individual vendor, following the guidelines below. Our goal is to make returns simple, fair, and transparent while upholding our non-toxic product standards.

1. Return Authorization Required

All returns must be approved before any items are sent back.

To request a return, please contact us at support@shopviawell.com and include your order number and reason for the return. If your return is approved, we will provide instructions on how and where to send the item.

Returns sent without prior approval may not be eligible for a refund, and return shipping costs will not be reimbursed.

2. Return Eligibility (30 Days)

Most items can be returned within 30 days of delivery. To qualify, products must be:

  • unused

  • in like-new condition

  • with all original packaging or components included

Note:
This does not mean the item must be sealed — only wellness and personal-care items require unopened packaging (see Section 3).

3. Non-Returnable Items (For Health & Safety Reasons)

Personal-care and consumable wellness items can only be returned if they are unopened and sealed. This includes:

  • Skincare

  • Soaps, lotions, oils, balms

  • Deodorants

  • Supplements

  • Other personal-care items, etc.

Opened or used items in these categories cannot be returned unless they arrive damaged or defective.

4. Damaged or Defective Items

If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, it is always eligible for a refund or replacement.

Please contact us within 48 hours of delivery and include:

  • Photos of the damage or defect

  • Your order number

  • A description of the issue

We will resolve the matter quickly with the vendor.

5. How to Start a Return

To initiate a return, please email us at support@shopviawell.com with:

  • Your full name

  • Order number

  • The item you’d like to return

  • The reason for the return

  • Photos (required for damaged or defective items)

We will guide you through the return steps and provide any required instructions or labels.

6. Return Shipping Costs

ViaWell or the vendor covers return shipping when:

  • The item is damaged

  • The item is defective

  • The wrong item was shipped

  • The product listing contained inaccurate information

The customer covers return shipping when:

  • The return is due to preference

  • The wrong item was ordered

  • The customer no longer wants the item

  • The product is eligible but not damaged or defective

Shipping responsibility is confirmed during the return process.

7. Refund Processing

Once the vendor receives and inspects the returned item, a refund will be issued to your original payment method.

Refund timeline:
3–5 business days after approval (processing time may vary by bank).

Shipping fees (if any) are non-refundable unless the return is due to vendor error, damage, or defect.

8. Exchanges

ViaWell does not currently offer direct exchanges.
If you want a different item, please submit a return request (if eligible) and place a new order for the desired product.

9. Final Sale Items

Products marked as Final Sale are not eligible for return unless they arrive damaged or defective.

10. Vendor Responsibilities

All ViaWell vendors are required to follow this return policy, including:

  • Honoring eligible returns

  • Providing refunds or replacements for damaged or defective products

  • Responding to return requests in a timely manner

This ensures a consistent and trustworthy experience across the marketplace.
