ALL SALES ARE FINAL: Returns are not environmentally friendly as they contribute to excess waste, increase gas emissions, and consume additional resources.
Offering refunds and returns for clothing can unintentionally contribute to environmental harm because it encourages over-purchasing and excessive shipping, both of which increase waste and carbon emissions.
When customers know that returns are easy and guaranteed, some may order multiple sizes, colors, or styles of the same item with the intention of sending most of them back. This leads to unnecessary production, packaging, and transportation for items that may never have been truly needed.
Returns also require additional shipping, often doubling the environmental footprint of a single purchase. Every return means more transportation fuel, packaging materials, and handling. In many cases within the fashion industry, returned items cannot be resold as new due to handling, damage, or cost of processing, which can result in items being discounted heavily, liquidated, or even discarded.
A no-refund policy encourages customers to make more intentional and thoughtful purchasing decisions, such as reviewing approximate measurements carefully, asking questions before buying, and ensuring the item truly fits their needs. This helps reduce unnecessary shipments, packaging waste, and excess production.
By promoting conscious purchasing rather than convenience returns, we can work together to reduce waste, lower emissions, and support more sustainable consumption practices. 🌿
In the event that a garment does not work out for you personally, please be sure to:
• donate the garment to an organization in need
• gift the garment to a friend
•resell the garment on a third party site
• take the garment to a local seamstress near you
This helps to keep the items in rotation to ones who can use it while preventing waste ♻️
PACKAGE ARRIVED LATER THAN EXPECTED: There are no refunds or returns for orders that arrive later than expected. Once an order has been shipped, delivery timelines are handled by the postal carrier and delays can and do occur. Orders placed close to the date an item is needed are at the customer’s discretion. Because shipping times are estimates and not guaranteed, orders that do not arrive in time are not eligible for refunds or returns.
ITEM DID NOT FIT: There are no refunds or exchanges for items that do not fit correctly as all sales are final.
The approximate measurements, and fabrics used, are included in the description of all items to reference prior to a purchase being made.
The approximate measurements included are to be used as reference to better ensure a proper fit. Ordinary Selenophile cannot guarantee that a garment may fit you even with the approximate measurements included.
If you need additional measurements, please contact through the contact form.
Please keep in mind that the garments are handmade and the approximate measurements are taken by hand which may vary slightly. This is not considered a flaw to a garment.
AFTER WEARING OR WASHING: There are no refund or exchanges for items after wearing as all sales are final. There will be no exceptions.
You may not return, exchange or receive store credit for a garment after wearing or washing, even if a flaw occurs to the garment after wearing once or washing once.
After a garment has been worn, or washed, it is no longer in its original condition and cannot be reliably assessed for manufacturing defects versus wear-related damage caused by pressure, pulling, stretching, general wear, etc as these are factors outside of my control once an item has been delivered.
The garments are handmade from ethically sourced or recycled fabrics which may be delicate. Pressure, pulling threads, sharp objects, setting, type of use, washing, drying etc may cause damage to a garment. Please wear and handle all garments with care.
RECEIVED A FLAWED GARMENT: Please view the imperfections & flaws FAQ for more details regarding imperfections that are not considered flaws that will not be accepted for a return & exchange.
Please note that if, and only if, an exchange or reimbursement is discussed or given, that is up to my discretion only and it will vary on a case per case basis.
There is no guarantee you will be able to exchange or be reimbursed.
If, and only if, a reimbursement is discussed, as well as given, it will be given in the form of store credit only, for the item cost only, with the shipping cost deducted. Please note that your inquiry may not be accepted for an exchange or reimbursement for store credit - this is to be expected.

Filing a chargeback without first contacting Ordinary Selenophile to attempt resolution, or submitting a chargeback that is false, misleading, or in violation of our stated policies (including claims of unauthorized transactions for knowingly placed orders), constitutes chargeback fraud.
