Last Updated: December 12, 2025
Welcome to our Return and Refund Policy! We know buying clothes and products online can feel risky sometimes. What if it doesn’t fit? What if the color looks different? Don’t worry we’re here to explain everything clearly so you can shop with confidence at Ichra Bazar Lahore.
Understanding How Our Platform Works
Before we talk about returns and refunds, it’s important to understand one thing:
Ichra Bazar Lahore is a marketplace platform, not a direct seller.
Think of us like a digital version of walking through Ichra Market Lahore. We connect you with real shop owners from Ichhra Lahore, but we don’t own the shops or sell the products ourselves. Each shop owner has their own business and makes their own rules about returns and refunds.
Here’s how it works:
- You browse products on our website
- You contact a shop owner directly (via WhatsApp or phone)
- You discuss everything with the shop owner—price, delivery, payment
- The shop owner sends you the product
- If there’s a problem, you work it out with the shop owner
Our role: We’re the bridge that connects you to amazing shops near Ichra Cloth Market, Ichra Shopping Center, and all around Ichhra. We help make sure shops are real and trustworthy, but the actual buying and selling happens between you and them.
Return and Refund Policy for Marketplace Orders
When You Buy from Individual Shop Owners
Since each shop in Ichra Bazar has its own policies, here’s what you need to know:
Before You Buy – Always Ask These Questions:
- “What’s your return policy?”
- “Can I exchange if the size doesn’t fit?”
- “What if the product is damaged when it arrives?”
- “How many days do I have to return something?”
- “Who pays for return shipping?”
- “Do you give refunds or only exchanges?”
💡 Pro Tip: Get everything in writing! Save your WhatsApp chat with the shop owner. If they promise something, having the messages helps if there’s confusion later.
Common Return Situations
1. Wrong Size or Color
Most shops in Ichhra Lahore, will exchange items if:
- You contact them within 2-7 days (depends on the shop)
- The product is unused with tags still attached
- You didn’t damage or alter it
- You have the original packaging
Some shops might ask you to pay return shipping costs. This is normal always ask before buying!
2. Damaged or Defective Products
If your product arrives damaged or broken:
- Take photos immediately (before you even open the package fully)
- Contact the shop owner within 24-48 hours
- Show them the photos
- Most honest shops will replace it or refund you
Good shops take responsibility for this. If a shop refuses to fix a genuinely damaged product, let us know, and we’ll help mediate.
3. Product Looks Different from Photos
This is tricky! Sometimes:
- Lighting in photos makes colors look different
- Phone/computer screens show colors differently
- Fabric texture is hard to see in pictures
Before claiming it’s “wrong”: Check if it’s just a lighting difference or if it’s actually a completely different item.
If it’s genuinely not what was advertised (like they showed silk but sent polyester), contact the shop owner immediately. Take comparison photos showing what was advertised vs. what you received.
4. Changed Your Mind
This is the hardest situation. Many shops in Ichra Market don’t accept returns just because you changed your mind. Why? Because:
- They’re small businesses with tight budgets
- They might have turned down other customers for that piece
- Fashion items can’t be resold easily once tried on
Some shops might: Offer store credit or exchange for another item (but usually no cash refund).
Always ask about the “change of mind” policy before buying!
What If a Shop Owner Refuses to Help?
We know this is frustrating. Here’s what you can do:
Step 1 – Stay Calm and Professional
- Politely explain the problem with photos as proof
- Reference any promises they made in your WhatsApp chat
- Give them a reasonable chance to make it right
Step 2 – Contact Us If the shop owner is being unreasonable and you have clear proof (photos, messages), contact us at:
Email: contact@ichrabazarlahore.pk
Phone: +923134595696
We’ll help by:
- Reaching out to the shop owner on your behalf
- Mediating the conversation
- Reviewing evidence from both sides
- Helping find a fair solution
Step 3 – Our Decision If we find that:
- The shop owner clearly scammed you or sent fake products → We’ll remove them from our platform and support your refund claim
- There was an honest misunderstanding → We’ll help both parties reach a compromise
- You’re being unreasonable with your complaint → We’ll explain why we can’t help further
Important: We can advocate for you, but we can’t force a shop owner to give you a refund if they’re not legally required to. We’re mediators, not a court.

Special Circumstances
Weddings and Custom Orders
Many shops in Ichra Bazar, Lahore, specialize in bridal wear and custom stitching. Important note:
Custom-made or tailored items usually cannot be returned or refunded. Why? Because:
- They were made specifically for your measurements
- Can’t be sold to anyone else
- The shop owner invested time and materials just for you
Before ordering custom items:
- Double-check all measurements
- Confirm design, color, fabric choices in writing
- Ask for progress photos during stitching
- Understand there’s no return option
If the shop owner makes a mistake (wrong color, wrong design), they should fix it free of charge. However, if you provided incorrect measurements or changed your mind, you’ll likely have to keep it.
Damaged During Shipping
If your package arrives visibly damaged:
- Don’t accept it! Refuse delivery or note the damage before signing
- Take photos of the damaged box
- Contact the shop owner immediately
- They should file a claim with the courier company
Who’s responsible? Usually the sender (shop owner) is responsible for safe packaging and delivery. Good shops will resend or refund you.
Lost Packages
If your order never arrives:
- Wait the full estimated delivery time first (usually 2-7 days within Pakistan)
- Check with your local post office or courier
- Contact the shop owner with your tracking number
- They should investigate with the shipping company
Most reliable shops will resend lost orders or refund you. But if you gave a wrong address, you might be responsible.
