Our Promise to Every Customer

  100% AUTHENTIC

Every bottle sourced exclusively from verified, licensed distributors. Genuine product — always.

  NO FINE PRINT

No hidden conditions. No surprise rejections. What you read here is exactly what you get.

  SECURE CHECKOUT

Your payment is protected. Look for MinkQ on your billing statement to confirm every charge.

  REAL HUMAN SUPPORT

A real person reads and responds to every email within 2–3 business days. No bots, ever.

 

1    Our Commitment to You

Shopping at MinkQ means buying from one dedicated store with consistent standards, verified authentic products, and a real human being on the other side of every email.

 

We do not sell grey-market, previously returned, opened, or re-wrapped bottles. Every order ships factory-sealed, inspected, and fully traceable from our warehouse to your door.

 

This policy protects you completely when something goes wrong — and protects us from the rare cases of abuse that drive up costs for every honest customer. What you read here is exactly what you get.

 

 

2    Return Policy at a Glance

 

Return Window

14 days from your confirmed delivery date — not from the order date

Item Condition

Factory-sealed in original manufacturer packaging — all cellophane and shrink-wrap completely intact

Authorization

A Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number is required before shipping anything back to us

Return Shipping

Customer pays. If the error is ours, we provide a free prepaid return label.

Refund Timeline

5–7 business days after we receive and inspect your return

Original Shipping Fee

Non-refundable in all cases unless the error was ours

Exchanges

Not offered. Return your item and place a new order for the replacement.

 

Why 14 days? Fragrance is a sealed, perishable product. A focused 14-day window ensures that every bottle we ship to you has never been opened, returned, tested, or tampered with by a prior customer. This is your quality guarantee — not a restriction.

 

 

3    What Can and Cannot Be Returned

Eligible for Return

        Factory-sealed fragrance in fully intact original manufacturer packaging

        Items received damaged or defective — clear photo evidence required within 48 hours of delivery

        Wrong item shipped due to a MinkQ fulfillment error, verified against your order record

        Items confirmed lost in transit by the carrier, reported within 14 days of expected delivery

 

Not Eligible — No Exceptions

        Any fragrance that has been opened, sprayed, or used in any amount

        Items with broken seals, removed cellophane, or any sign of tampered packaging

        Returns shipped without a valid MinkQ RMA number — refused at delivery, returned to sender

        Items returned after the 14-day window

        Gift cards and store credit

        Items marked Final Sale, clearance, or non-returnable at the time of purchase

        Items missing the original box, inner tissue, or any packaging components

        Items damaged due to customer mishandling or improper return packaging

 

Fragrance is an intimate personal care product. Once a bottle is opened and exposed to air, it cannot be resold, retested, or certified as authentic for the next customer. Our sealed-only standard exists to protect every customer — including you.

 

 

4    How to Return an Item

All five steps are required. Returns that skip any step will be refused and returned to sender at the sender’s expense.

 

1

Contact Us First

Email support@minkq.com within 14 days of delivery. Subject line: RETURN – Order #[your number]. Include your order number, item name, reason for return, and a clear photo of the item in its current sealed condition.

2

Receive Your RMA

We review your request within 2–3 business days and respond with an approved RMA number and return address — or a clear explanation if the item does not qualify. No RMA number means no return is accepted, without exception.

3

Pack With Care

Place the item in its original product packaging inside a separate, sturdy outer shipping box. Write your RMA number clearly on the outside of the outer box only. Do not write on or apply labels directly to the product box itself.

4

Ship With Tracking & Insurance

Use USPS, UPS, or FedEx with a trackable service and insurance coverage. Retain your shipping receipt and tracking number. MinkQ is not responsible for returns that are lost or damaged in transit.

5

Inspection & Decision

We inspect your return within 3–5 business days of receipt and email you the outcome: approved refund, partial refund, or rejection with a specific reason clearly stated.

 

  Returns sent without an RMA number, in non-original packaging, or after the 14-day window will be refused at delivery and returned to sender at the sender’s expense.

 

 

5    Refunds

Approved Refunds

        Processed to your original payment method within 5–7 business days of inspection approval

        A confirmation email is sent the same day your refund is processed

        Allow an additional 3–5 business days for funds to appear, depending on your bank or card issuer

        Original outbound shipping fees are non-refundable unless the error was ours

 

Partial Refunds

A partial refund may be considered at MinkQ’s sole discretion if minor outer box damage occurred during return transit not attributable to the product, or if a return arrives marginally outside the 14-day window due to a verified carrier delay supported by tracking proof.

 

When No Refund Is Issued

No refund will be issued and the item will not be returned to you if: any evidence of opening, use, spraying, or tampering is found; the item does not match the original order or RMA; or the return was unauthorized or arrived outside the return window.

 

 

6    Damaged, Defective, or Wrong Items

We take full responsibility for every item that arrives damaged, defective, or incorrectly shipped.

 

        Email support@minkq.com within 48 hours of delivery

        Attach clear photos of: the item, all inner packaging, and the outer box with the carrier label visible

        We will provide a prepaid return label and issue a full refund or send a replacement — at zero cost to you

        Claims reported after 48 hours may not be eligible. Please inspect all orders promptly upon arrival.

 

 

7    Order Cancellations

Orders cannot be cancelled once payment has been captured. Our fulfillment process begins immediately after checkout. If you placed an order in error, email support@minkq.com right away with the subject line: CANCEL – Order #[your number].

 

If the order has not yet shipped, we will do our best to stop it — though this cannot be guaranteed. If it has already shipped, please follow the return process in Section 4.

 

 

8    Payment Disputes & Chargeback Policy

We ask every customer to contact us at support@minkq.com before initiating a chargeback or dispute with their bank or payment provider. Most concerns are resolved promptly and fairly without any need to involve your bank.

 

Dispute Type

How MinkQ Addresses It

Charge Not Recognized

Check your billing statement for MinkQ or your payment provider’s descriptor. Contact us and we will identify the charge immediately.

Item Not Received

Every order ships with a trackable carrier number, retained on file. We notify customers proactively of any delay.

Item Not as Described

All listings include accurate descriptions and photos. Any discrepancy reported within 48 hours of delivery is resolved with a free return label and full refund.

Refund Not Received

Refunds are processed within 5–7 business days. A confirmation email is sent the same day. Email us immediately if you have not received it.

Chargeback Filed

Filing a chargeback without first contacting MinkQ is a breach of this purchase agreement. Complete 24-month order records are submitted to payment networks in every dispute response.

 

Fraudulent chargebacks on verified, delivered orders will be disputed in full with complete documentation. Customers with a documented pattern of chargebacks or return abuse may be permanently blocked from future purchases.

10    Tips for a Perfect Purchase

We want every MinkQ order to be something you love from the moment it arrives.

 

        Read product details carefully: concentration (Parfum, EDP, EDT, EDC), bottle size in ml/oz, and scent family profile

        Fragrance wears differently on every person’s skin chemistry. Consider a sample or travel size before committing to a full bottle.

        Double-check your shipping address at checkout — we are not responsible for non-delivery from an incorrect address

        Keep your order confirmation email — required for any return, damage claim, or dispute

        Open and inspect your order immediately upon arrival. Damage claims must be reported within 48 hours.

        Not sure what to order? Email support@minkq.com before purchasing — we will help you find exactly the right scent.
