How to return
Online orders are returned through the ALOHAS Return Platform, or in an ALOHAS physical store (except the US stores in New York and Los Angeles). In-store purchases return to the same store, or online if returning from the store's country.

Steps
- Log in to the Return Platform with the purchase email or ZIP code and the order number (starts with INT).
- Select the items and the return reason.
- Choose "Exchange this item" or "Return the item", then the resolution: Store Credit, Refund, or Shop now with the credit.
- Submit the return.
- Easy returns countries: print the prepaid label. Other countries: use the return address in the confirmation email, buy a label from any courier, and send ALOHAS the tracking number right away. All taxes and duties must be prepaid; parcels needing customs paperwork or payment by ALOHAS are not processed.
- Pack the parcel (see below) with the completed return form, listing each SKU (format 000000-0000, e.g. S00442-2540).
- Drop it off at the assigned carrier within 30 days. The label expires after 30 days; a new one is charged to the customer.
Packing the parcel
- Use the original packaging if possible, or a sturdy box, with the item wrapped and cushioned.
- Never stick labels or tape directly on the shoe box.
- Include the packing slip or invoice and the return form.
- Cover the box with a plastic bag where the label goes, and seal it with packing tape.
- Items from the same order can share one parcel. Items from different orders need one return request and one parcel per order.
- Only items selected on the Return Platform are refunded. If you forgot one, do not add it; contact Customer Service to cancel and re-register the return.

Exchanges
Exchanges are free in easy returns countries and must be requested on the Return Platform within 30 days of delivery.
- Same product, different size.
- Different in-stock product worth up to €20 more than the original, at no extra cost.
- Pre-order product (same or different): not exchanged directly. Choose store credit and use it on alohas.com once the return is received.
After the returned item arrives, ALOHAS emails the new order or store credit. This can take several days; for speed, buy the new item separately and return the original for a refund. To ship the exchange to a different address, contact Customer Service before registering the return.
Editing a return or exchange request
Contact Customer Service to change a registered request. Changes may be impossible once the label is used or the return is processed.
- Switching from exchange or store credit to a refund applies the country return fee.
- A new size must first be available on the website.

- It never expires and can also cover shipping on future orders.

Special cases
- Defective or incorrect items: select "Defective item" as the return reason. The request is reviewed manually and Customer Service asks for photos for Quality Control before a label is issued.
- Tax Free (VAT refund): only for non-EU residents buying in an ALOHAS physical store in the EU. Staff email a Tax Free document (DIVA in Spain, Global Blue elsewhere), which customs must validate with the goods and passport before leaving the EU; the refund is then claimed from the entity named on the document. Tax Free does not apply to online purchases.
