FAQ’s

How do I start a return or exchange?

Most returns and exchanges can be started online using our Return Portal — no email needed.


Can I exchange for a different size or style?

Yes. Exchanges for size or style are free on your first exchange and include free return shipping.


Why does my print look slightly different from the photos?

Many of our prints are cut by hand in small batches. Slight variations in pattern placement are natural and make each piece uniquely yours.


Can I return an item that was tried on?

Trying on for fit is perfectly fine. Items must remain clean, unworn, unwashed, and with all tags attached to be eligible for return.


What if my item arrives with a defect?

While rare, if something isn’t right, please email us within 7 days of delivery with clear photos so we can assist promptly.


My package says delivered, but I don’t have it

This often resolves quickly. We recommend:
• Waiting up to 2 business days
• Checking with neighbors or building staff
• Contacting USPS with your tracking number

Once an order leaves our warehouse, USPS is responsible for final delivery.
Slightly Buddha is not liable for lost or stolen packages.


What if my package is returned due to an incorrect address?

If a package is returned due to an incorrect or insufficient address, the customer is responsible for the original shipping charges to have the order re sent.


Can gifts be returned?

Yes. Eligible gift returns are accepted for store credit.


Sustainability

We believe in transparency. Each product page includes information about where your item was made and other details mindful customers may want to know.

We also offset 100% of the carbon emissions produced when shipping your order to you.
