Refund policy

Returns & Refund Policy

We want every Pop-Up Love surprise to bring joy and delight, but if something isn’t quite right, we’re here to make it right.

1. Returns & Exchanges

3D Pop-Up Cards

You have 14 days after receiving your item to request a return or exchange if:

  • The item is damaged during shipping

  • You received the incorrect item

  • The product is defective (e.g., the pop-up mechanism doesn’t function)

To be eligible, your item must be in its original condition and packaging. We’ll also need your proof of purchase.

Pop-Up Gifts (Explosion Gift Boxes)

Due to the perishable nature of certain contents (e.g., chocolates, flowers), you must report any issues within 2 days of delivery if:

  • The item arrived damaged

  • You received the incorrect item

  • There is a mechanical defect in the box design or components

We do not accept returns for personalized items unless they arrive damaged or defective.

2. To Start a Return

Contact us at hello@popuplove.co.za with:

  • Your order number

  • Clear photos showing the issue

Once your return is accepted, we’ll send you detailed return instructions. Please note: Items sent back without first requesting a return will not be accepted.

3. Damages and Issues

Please inspect your order upon receipt and contact us immediately if there’s a problem. We’ll assess:

  • Whether all components of the item were returned

  • That the pop-up mechanism was not tampered with

  • That damage was not caused by customer handling

If approved, we’ll either issue a refund or send a replacement.

4. Exceptions / Non-returnable Items

We cannot accept returns on:

  • Personalized or custom-made items (unless damaged or defective)

  • Perishable goods such as food and flowers

  • Sale items or gift cards

If you’re unsure about your item’s eligibility, email us, we’re happy to help.

5. Exchanges

We offer exchanges on non-personalized items. The fastest way to exchange is to return your item and make a separate purchase once the return is accepted. Return shipping is the customer’s responsibility.

6. Refunds

If your return is approved:

  • You’ll receive a full refund (excluding shipping fees) to your original payment method

  • Refunds are processed within 5 business days of receiving and inspecting the item

  • Refunds can only be issued to the original purchaser

Please note: It may take some time for your bank or credit card company to process the refund on their end.
