Return & Exchange Policy
GOLDEN STANDARD is dedicated to ensuring your complete satisfaction with every purchase. Please read the following policy carefully to understand our return and exchange terms.
Eligibility for Returns & Exchanges
- Time Limit: You may initiate a return or exchange request within 30 calendar days from the date of delivery. Requests submitted beyond this period will not be accepted.
-
Applicable Conditions: Returns and exchanges are only valid for items that are unused, unwashed, and in their original condition with all original packaging, tags, and accessories intact.
- Returns are accepted for reasons including defective products, wrong items shipped, or dissatisfaction with the product (subject to condition check).
- Exchanges are available for size or style adjustments, provided the desired replacement is in stock.
- Non-applicable Scenarios: Items that have been damaged, altered, used, or without original packaging will be rejected for return or exchange.
User Required Actions for Returns & Exchanges

Refund & Exchange Processing Details
