HIGH-VALUE RETURNS
If you are not given the option to purchase a DHL Return Label through our Returns Portal, it may be because your return exceeds our order value threshold and/or involves too many items. In such cases, Eliya The Label will contact you to provide a Return Label based on the specific number of items being returned. This is to ensure the correct customs paperwork and relevant insurance are applied, guaranteeing safe return.
COURIER RETURNS
If you were given the option to return your order via a courier of your choice, you are responsible for ensuring that it is securely returned to us using registered mail with tracking and within an acceptable timeframe.

Eliya The Label will not be held responsible for any packages that go missing or unsuccessfully returned to us when a customer has sent a return back via their own courier.

If you are returning multiple orders, each order must be initiated separately, and individual return labels must be generated. Combining returns from different orders is not accepted and will result in inaccurate customs paperwork, leading to the rejection of your package by customs and your package being returned to you.
Eliya The Label reserves the right to charge for any additional shipping label fees, duties, taxes, or customs processing fees related to your return.
