3. International Returns
We accept international returns for eligible items. Please review the following details before mailing your return.
How to Start an International Return
Please initiate your return through the Orders section of your Nuu-Muu account page.
Starting the return through the online portal allows us to:
- Review and approve the return request
- Begin the return/refund workflow
- Know which item(s) to expect
Please note: Nuu-Muu cannot provide prepaid return shipping labels for international returns through our online return portal.
After submitting your return request, you will still need to arrange and pay for return shipping through the carrier of your choice.
Return Address
Nuu-Muu
1901 Cornwall Ave PMB 485
Bellingham, WA 98225
USA
Please include a note inside the package with your:
- Name
- Order number
- Item(s) you are returning
Return Shipping
International customers are responsible for all return shipping costs.
Duties, taxes, VAT/GST, customs processing fees, and carrier/brokerage fees paid at import are non-refundable through Nuu-Muu.
You may be able to request reimbursement from your local customs authority, but rules vary by country.
For customs purposes, please clearly identify the package as:
- “Returned Goods”
- or “Return of Merchandise”
We also recommend checking with your return carrier before mailing, as customs forms, duties, fees, brokerage requirements, and documentation can vary by country and carrier.
Please keep your tracking number and proof of shipment until your return has been received and processed. We also recommend choosing a trackable shipping method and considering insurance, especially for international returns.
Nuu-Muu is not responsible for return packages that are lost, damaged, delayed, rejected, or held by customs while in transit back to us. Refunds can only be issued for eligible returned items once they are received by Nuu-Muu and pass inspection.
Failure to mark packages correctly may result in import charges, delays, or rejected shipments that Nuu-Muu cannot cover.
Refund Timing for International Returns
Starting a return through the online portal begins the return/refund workflow, but the refund is not issued until the returned item arrives at Nuu-Muu and passes inspection.
Please keep the following timing expectations in mind:
- International transit time: International returns may take two weeks or more to reach us.
- Nuu-Muu processing time: Once received, returns are typically processed within a few business days.
- Bank/card posting time: Your bank or card issuer may take up to two additional weeks to show the refund on your account after we issue it.
Additional Note for Canadian Returns to the U.S.
Canadian customers returning items to Nuu-Muu are responsible for arranging and paying for return shipping. Requirements may vary depending on the carrier you choose.
If you use Canada Post, Canada Post may require both:
- A customs form
- A Zonos Prepay Declaration ID/QR code
This may be required before Canada Post will accept a package being returned to the U.S., even when the package is marked as returned goods.
When completing the Zonos Prepay process, you may be asked to classify the shipment, identify it as a return, confirm the country of origin, and pay any applicable duties or fees before the Declaration ID/QR code is generated. Zonos may calculate duties as $0, but you may still need to complete the process and obtain the Declaration ID/QR code.
All Nuu-Muu dresses are made in the United States. When completing customs, Canada Post, Zonos, or carrier forms for a Nuu-Muu dress return, the country of origin should be United States.
Canada Post’s current guidance for sending packages to the U.S. is available here:
https://www.canadapost-postescanada.ca/cpc/en/personal/sending-to-us-duty-updates.page
If you use UPS, FedEx, DHL, or another carrier, that carrier may have its own customs forms, commercial invoice requirements, brokerage process, duties/fees, or return-shipment instructions.
Please identify the shipment as “Returned Goods” or “Return of Merchandise” on customs/carrier forms, and confirm the current requirements directly with your chosen carrier before mailing.
4. Exchanges
We do not currently process exchanges online.
Instead, please:
- Return the item(s) you wish to send back.
- Place a new order for the item(s) you want.
This ensures faster fulfillment and availability in your preferred size/print.
5. Refunds
Starting a return request does not automatically issue a refund.
Once your return arrives at Nuu-Muu and passes inspection, we issue refunds promptly — typically within a few business days.
Refunds can only be issued for eligible returned items once they are received by Nuu-Muu and pass inspection. Nuu-Muu is not responsible for return packages that are lost, damaged, delayed, rejected, or held by customs while in transit back to us.
Please keep the following timing expectations in mind:
- Transit time to us: Packages may take up to two weeks or more to arrive, depending on carrier, distance, and customs processing for international returns.
- Nuu-Muu processing time: Returns are processed shortly after arrival and inspection.
- Bank/credit card posting time: Your financial institution may take up to two additional weeks to finalize the refund on your original payment method.
If more than 15 business days have passed since your refund notification, please contact us at liveperson@nuu-muu.com.
Promotions and discounts are not retroactive and cannot be applied to prior purchases.

These fees are paid to your government, customs authority, or carrier and are non-refundable through Nuu-Muu.
You may be able to request VAT/GST/duty reimbursement from your local customs authority when returning an item, but rules vary by country.
When returning items internationally, please clearly identify the package as “Returned Goods” or “Return of Merchandise” on customs and carrier forms to help avoid unnecessary charges or delays.
