Return and Shipping
Effective Date: May 2026 | Version 1.1
1. Overview
At NUEBLU, we are committed to delivering your order safely, accurately, and on time. We understand that shipping issues, damaged parcels, and other logistical problems can occur despite our best efforts. This policy outlines your rights and our obligations when things don't go as planned — and exactly what we will do to make it right.
This policy covers all non-medical, order-related issues including lost shipments, damaged packaging, incorrect items, and returns. It does not cover product reactions, health outcomes, or medical concerns — please refer to our Product Disclaimer for those matters.
2. Order Processing & Dispatch
Processing Time All orders are processed within 1–3 business days of payment confirmation. Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will begin processing on the next available business day.
Dispatch Confirmation Once your order is dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking number and a link to track your shipment in real time. If you have not received a dispatch email within 3 business days of ordering, please check your spam folder before contacting us.
Order Cutoff Time Orders placed before 2:00 PM (local time, Monday–Friday) are eligible for same-day processing. Orders placed after this time will be processed the following business day.

4. Lost or Missing Shipments
We take lost shipments seriously and will work diligently to resolve your case. Please follow the steps below:
Step 1 — Wait for the Carrier Window to Close
Before reporting a lost item, please allow the following timeframes to pass after your expected delivery date:
- Domestic shipments: 5 additional business days
- International shipments: 15 additional business days Carrier networks occasionally experience delays that resolve without intervention.
Step 2 — Check Common Locations
Before reporting, please verify:
- Your building's mailroom, parcel locker, or reception area
- That no delivery attempt cards were left at your address
- With neighbours, in case the parcel was left with them
- The tracking status on the carrier's website for any delivery notes
Step 3 — Contact Us
If the above steps do not resolve the situation, contact our customer support team at contact@nueblu.co with the following information:
- Your order number
- The full delivery address used at checkout
- A screenshot or description of the last tracking update
Our Resolution Process
Once a lost shipment claim is submitted, we will:
- Open a formal investigation with the carrier within 2 business days.
- Keep you updated throughout the investigation process.
- Provide a resolution within 10–15 business days of the claim being opened.
Resolution options for confirmed lost shipments:
- Full re-shipment of your order at no additional cost, or
- A full store credit or refund, at your preference.
Important: Claims for lost shipments must be submitted within 60 days of the original dispatch date. Claims submitted after this window may not be eligible for resolution, as carrier investigations cannot be initiated beyond their own filing deadlines.
5. Damaged Items or Packaging
If your order arrives with damaged packaging or compromised product integrity (e.g. leaking, broken seal, crushed container), please:
- Do not discard the packaging — it is required for the claim.
- Photograph the damage clearly, including the outer packaging, inner packaging, and the product itself.
- Contact us within 7 days of delivery at contact@nueblu.co with your order number and photos attached.
We will assess the claim and respond within 3 business days. Confirmed damage cases will be resolved with either a full replacement shipment or a refund — your choice.
Claims submitted more than 7 days after confirmed delivery may not be eligible for resolution, as damage is difficult to attribute to transit after this window.
6. Incorrect Items Received
If you receive an item that does not match what you ordered (wrong product, wrong concentration, wrong quantity), please:
- Contact us at contact@nueblu.co within 14 days of delivery.
- Include your order number and a photo of the item(s) received.
We will cover the cost of return shipping for incorrect items and will dispatch the correct product promptly at no additional charge, or issue a full refund if you prefer.

You will have the option to:
