Please send returns back using USPS, UPS, FedEx along with a tracking number. Serendipity is not responsible for items that are lost or damaged while in-transit to us, therefore; we recommend you purchasing insurance. Serendipity does not cover the cost of return shipping.

If an item is purchased online, it can be returned to any of our stores for EXCHANGE or STORE CREDIT. If you bring it back to a store, an in-store credit will be issued. Keep in mind in store credit cannot be redeemed online.
At this time, in store gift cards cannot be redeemed online. Likewise, our online store credit cannot be used in store. Sorry about that, but we use two different platforms for in store transactions vs. online transactions.
You will receive an online store credit for your return (given it meets all our return guidelines). Unless, you state otherwise on the return form that you would prefer an in store credit.
EXCHANGES
We do not offer exchanges for our online store. Our inventory is constantly changing. We have a limited number of styles featured on our website, and because of this we cannot guarantee an exchange. We recommend going ahead and shipping the items you wish to return back to us, and initiating another purchase on our online store as soon as possible, so you can insure you get the items you want.
CHANGING OR CANCELLING YOUR ORDER
Once an order has been placed we cannot change or cancel the order. If you feel you ordered the wrong size and/or color and wish to change sizes or colors, we will make every effort to change this for you. However, you must contact us IMMEDIATELY. Once we initially process your order (usually within 2-4 hours), we are unable to make any changes.
ADDING OR REMOVING ITEMS TO AN ORDER
Unfortunately, we cannot add items to an existing order. You will have to place a new order for an item you wish to add.
Likewise, we cannot remove items. You will have to initiate a return, once you receive the items.
Did you receive free shipping on the first order? If it is within 24 hours of your previous order, contact us immediately! There are no guarantees, but we will do our best to ship the second order out with your first order and waive the shipping fee on this additional order. However, if we are unable to catch the order in time, the second order may be subject to shipping charges.
