Return Policy

Return Policy

We want you to feel confident, beautiful, and completely in love with your Sandy Bottom purchase. But if something isn’t quite right, we’ve made the return process simple and clear — so you can shop with peace of mind.

We offer refunds on eligible items (see conditions below). While we do not offer direct exchanges, you’re welcome to return an item and place a new order in your preferred size or style.


How to Request a Return

To start a return, email us at sales@sandybottomswimwear.com within 10 days of delivery. Please include:

  • Your order number

  • The item(s) you wish to return

  • A short reason for the return

Once approved, we’ll provide return instructions. You can choose from the following return options:


Option 1: Prepaid Return Label – $25 Flat Fee (USA & Canada)

We’ll email you a prepaid return label. A $25 flat fee will be deducted from your refund to cover the label cost.  We do not offer free return shipping.

  • Pack items in original (or similar) packaging and include your order confirmation.

  • Attach the label and drop it off at any authorized carrier location.

  • Once we receive and inspect your return, your refund will be issued to your original payment method within 2–5 business days.

  • Please allow up to 10 business days for your bank to reflect the refund.


Option 2: Ship It Yourself

Prefer to use your own carrier? No problem.

  • We’ll provide our return address once your request is approved.

  • Use a trackable shipping method and keep your receipt.

  • Any customs duties, courier fees, or tariffs billed to Sandy Bottom by Canadian customs or the carrier will be deducted from your refund.

  • We are not responsible for lost or delayed returns


International Returns (Outside the USA & Canada)

Once your return is approved, we’ll provide a return shipping quote based on your location. This amount will be deducted from your refund if you proceed.


Return Eligibility & Hygiene Standards

To protect the health and safety of our customers and staff, returned swimwear must meet strict hygiene standards:

  • Unworn, unwashed, and in original condition.

  • Tried on over underwear only.

  • Hygienic liner must remain fully intact and not removed or repositioned.

  • Returned items must be free of any bodily fluids, including sweat, urine, or blood.

  • No stains from deodorant, makeup, or self-tanner.

  • No strong or lingering odours including perfume, smoke, detergent, or body odour.

  • Must include all original tags, eco cotton bag, and branded packaging.

If an item is found to be soiled, worn, or fails to meet our hygiene standards, it will be discarded and not refunded. Sandy Bottom reserves the right to determine return eligibility upon inspection.

This does not apply to items discounted by 20% or more.
