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.

Chargeback Filed |

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.
