Arvixonel operates as a specialized digital entity within the Singaporean handbag market. Our operational philosophy is built upon a foundation of absolute transparency and the establishment of long-term trust with our local clientele. This document serves as our official Return and Refund Policy, structured to ensure total alignment with Google Ads transparency standards and the legal requirements set forth by the Personal Data Protection Act (PDPA) of Singapore. We have designed this framework to be unique, departing from standard industry templates to provide a clear, localized path for our users.
The Foundation of Trust: Cash on Delivery Model
Arvixonel utilizes a unique fiscal model compared to many global digital retailers. We operate exclusively via Cash on Delivery (COD). This decision is central to our brand identity in Singapore. We believe that customers should not have to provide payment before they have the opportunity to see the physical product at their own doorstep. By removing the requirement for upfront digital payments, we minimize the risk for the shopper and ensure a transparent transaction process. This model means that our refund process is also distinct, as there are no credit card transactions to reverse. Instead, we rely on direct communication and secure bank transfers to settle accounts when a return is necessary.

Eligibility and the 30-Day Window
Arvixonel provides a 30-day return window starting from the exact date the handbag is delivered to your designated Singapore address. We believe this duration is sufficient for you to inspect the item and ensure it meets your expectations. To maintain the integrity of our inventory, returns are strictly limited to instances where the product delivered is either physically damaged or is the incorrect model/color.
When you receive your handbag via our COD service, we encourage an immediate inspection. However, if a defect is noticed later within the 30-day period, you are fully entitled to initiate a return request. We do not accept returns for "change of mind" once the COD transaction is finalized, as the doorstep delivery is intended to serve as the final viewing and approval stage.
The Return Path: Collection and Logistics
Initiating a return with Arvixonel is a guided process. Once you identify an issue with your handbag, you must notify our team via contact@arvixonel.com. Upon the acceptance of your request, we take full responsibility for the logistics.
- Free Pickup Coordination: We do not require you to visit a post office or a drop-off point. We arrange for a courier to visit your location at a time that aligns with your personal convenience.
- Zero Hidden Costs: This pickup service is entirely free. Arvixonel does not believe in penalizing customers for receiving a damaged or wrong item. Consequently, we do not charge any return shipping fees or restocking levies.
- Data Security during Logistics: During the coordination of this pickup, we utilize the contact details already provided in your account under the protection of the PDPA. Your address and phone number are shared with the local courier solely for the purpose of retrieving the handbag.
Internal Inspection and Resolution Protocols
Once the returned handbag reaches our Singapore facility, it undergoes a formal review. We commit to a 1 business day inspection period. Our staff examines the item to confirm the damage or the fulfillment error. Following this 24-hour window, we provide a formal notification regarding the status of your request.
If the return is validated, you may choose between two resolutions:
- Product Exchange: If the specific handbag is currently in our Singapore stock, we can initiate a new delivery. This follows our standard 2-3 business day timeline.
- Full Refund: If you prefer a refund, or if the item is no longer available, we proceed with a bank transfer.
The Refund Process: Bank Transfer Mechanics
Because Arvixonel operates on a COD basis, we do not hold your original fiscal data. To facilitate a refund, we must establish a secure channel for fund transfer.
- Data Collection: We will request your Singaporean bank account details via our official email address. In alignment with the PDPA, this information is used strictly for the refund and is not stored for any other purpose.
- Accuracy Warning: It is vital that the bank details provided are accurate. Arvixonel cannot be held responsible for funds sent to an incorrect account if the details provided by the customer were flawed.
- Processing Time: Once we receive your valid bank information, we process the refund on our end within 1 business day.
- Bank Reflection: Although we release the funds immediately, the time it takes for the amount to show in your balance typically spans 7 to 8 business days. This delay is entirely dependent on the internal processing and clearing cycles of Singaporean banks.
Legislative Adherence and PDPA
Arvixonel takes data privacy seriously, especially when handling fiscal information for refunds. All interactions regarding your bank details are governed by the Personal Data Protection Act. We implement administrative safeguards to ensure that your bank account number and identity details are only accessible to the personnel required to authorize the transfer. Once the refund is successfully completed and the transaction is closed, we manage your sensitive data according to our internal data retention and disposal policies, ensuring no unnecessary personal information remains in our active systems.

We are dedicated to ensuring that your experience with our handbags is positive, even when a return is necessary. Our localized Singapore operations allow us to remain responsive and accountable.
