Refunds & Returns
Last updated: January 2026
Rays of Earth operates in accordance with the return and refund terms outlined below.
1. Returns Period
Return requests must be submitted within 14 days of delivery.
Requests made outside this period are not eligible for a refund or exchange.
2. Return Eligibility
To be eligible for return or exchange, items must be:
-
unworn, unwashed, and in original condition
-
with hygiene liners and original tags fully intact

accompanied by the original Rays of Earth swim pouch
Items that do not meet these conditions will be refused.

3. Return Authorisation
All returns must be authorised before being sent.
To request a return or exchange, please email hello@raysofearth.com with your order number and reason for return.
You will then receive return instructions.
Unauthorised returns may be refused.
4. Return Shipping
Customers are responsible for arranging and covering the cost of return shipping for all returns and exchanges.
We recommend using a tracked service, as Rays of Earth is not responsible for items lost in transit and cannot process a refund or exchange without receiving the item.
Original shipping costs are non-refundable.
For orders that qualified for complimentary shipping, if returned items bring the remaining order value below the free shipping threshold, the original shipping cost will be deducted from the refund.
5. Exchanges
Rays of Earth offers one complimentary exchange per order on eligible items.
-

Any additional exchanges are subject to both return and re-shipment costs.
6. Refund Processing
Once your return is received and inspected, you’ll be notified of approval or refusal.
Approved refunds will be issued to the original payment method within 7 business days.
Please allow up to 14 days for the refund to appear, depending on your payment provider.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method only.
7. Refused Returns
Returns may be refused if, including but not limited to:
-
evidence of wear, washing, staining, odour, or damage
-
missing or removed hygiene liners or tags
-
missing original packaging or swim pouch
Refused items will not be refunded or exchanged.
At the customer’s request, refused items may be returned at their expense.
If return shipping is not arranged within 14 days, items may be responsibly disposed of in line with Rays of Earth’s sustainability practices.
Rays of Earth reserves the right to refuse returns in cases of suspected misuse or abuse of this policy.
