ELIGIBLE SHIPPING ISSUES

Protection for three common delivery problems.

Kawaii Shield is not a blanket guarantee. Each claim must meet the published timing, evidence, and eligibility rules.

LOST IN TRANSIT

Confirmed lost shipments

An eligible shipment that does not arrive may qualify after the required domestic or international waiting period.

Review lost-package timing →

DELIVERED, THEN MISSING

Eligible stolen deliveries

A package marked delivered but not received may qualify when it is reported promptly and the required documentation is provided.

Review stolen-delivery timing →

DAMAGED DURING SHIPPING

Eligible transit damage

Items damaged while moving through the carrier network may qualify when clear package and item evidence is submitted on time.

See the evidence checklist →

ONE-TIME FIT PROTECTION

A little extra confidence when choosing your size.

Shopping for cosplay, costumes, and other international-size apparel can make finding the right fit a little harder. Eligible Kawaii Shield items may qualify for one size exchange when the fit isn't right. Fit Protection is exchange only and does not create refund or store-credit eligibility.

ONE SIZE EXCHANGE

Same item, different size

Exchange one eligible item for another available size of the same product, style, color, and configuration. Fit Protection is not a product swap.

Review Fit Exchange terms →

ORIGINAL CONDITION REQUIRED

Keep tags attached and the item unwashed

Try the item on carefully before deciding. It must remain unwashed, unaltered, unworn beyond a reasonable indoor try-on, with the original tags attached and every included piece returned.

See all condition requirements →

RETURN SHIPPING

You send it back. We ship the replacement.

You pay return shipping to Kawaii Stop. Use your own tracked method or, when available, request our prepaid return label for a $10 fee. We cover standard shipping of the approved replacement.

SHIPPING CLAIM PROCESS

Four steps for an eligible shipping claim.

Keeping the order, tracking, packaging, and evidence together makes the claim easier to review.

01

Add it at checkout

Select Kawaii Shield before completing the order. It cannot be added retroactively.

02

Follow the shipment

Keep the tracking number and watch for carrier delivery or exception updates.

03

Meet the claim window

Wait for the required lost-package period or report stolen and damaged shipments promptly.

04

Submit complete evidence

Use the claim portal with the order, tracking, photos, and any other required documentation.

CLAIM TIMING

The right time depends on the issue.

Claims filed too early, too late, or without required documentation may be denied.

DOMESTIC LOST PACKAGE

After 30 days

A domestic lost-package claim may be started 30 days after the order date.

INTERNATIONAL LOST PACKAGE

After 60 days

An international lost-package claim may be started 60 days after the order date.

STOLEN DELIVERY

Within 7 days

Report a delivered-but-missing package within 7 days of the carrier delivery scan.

TRANSIT DAMAGE

Within 7 days

Report eligible shipping damage within 7 days of delivery and keep the packaging.

Stolen order above $30?

The published Kawaii Shield terms require a police report for stolen-delivery claims when the order value exceeds $30.

ONE-TIME FIT EXCHANGE

An exchange-only fit benefit for eligible final-sale wearable merchandise.

Fit Protection is a Kawaii Stop benefit included with Kawaii Shield for sizing or fit issues only. It is separate from shipping-protection claims and does not convert final-sale merchandise into refundable merchandise.

Request within 7 days

Kawaii Shield must have been purchased with the original order. Submit the Fit Exchange request within 7 days of carrier-confirmed delivery. Only one Fit Exchange is permitted per protected order.

Same item, different size only

The replacement must be an available size of the same product, style, color, and configuration. Kawaii Stop will provide return instructions after confirming the request is eligible. Do not send the item back before authorization.

Customer pays return shipping

Use your own tracked return method or, when available, request a prepaid Kawaii Stop return label for a $10 fee. The $10 label fee is non-refundable once the label is used.

We cover replacement shipping

After the return is received, inspected, and approved, Kawaii Stop covers standard shipping of the eligible replacement size.

Keep the item unwashed

Any washing, laundering, dry cleaning, or other cleaning after delivery makes the item ineligible for Fit Exchange.

Keep original tags attached

Original product tags must remain attached. Removed, detached, cut, replaced, or reattached tags do not satisfy the requirement.

Return it in original condition

The item must be unworn beyond a reasonable indoor try-on, unaltered, and free from stains, makeup, deodorant, perfume, smoke, body odor, pet hair, or customer-caused damage.

Return the complete set

Every original piece, accessory, component, and included item must be returned. Multi-piece cosplay and costume sets must be returned complete.

Exchange only. No refund or credit of any kind.

Fit Protection does not provide a refund, partial refund, store credit, cash reimbursement, cancellation, or exchange for another product. Items that do not meet the return-condition requirements are not eligible for exchange.

Defects and materially inaccurate listings use Support instead.

A wrong item, verified manufacturing defect, missing component, or merchandise materially inconsistent with the published product description or measurements is reviewed separately through Kawaii Stop Support and does not use the one-time Fit Exchange benefit.

Fit Exchange eligibility is limited to merchandise Kawaii Stop identifies as Fit Protection eligible. Hygiene-sensitive merchandise, custom-sized or custom-measurement products, and non-wearable final-sale merchandise are excluded unless Kawaii Stop expressly states otherwise.

BEFORE YOU SUBMIT

Prepare evidence that shows what happened.

The exact documents depend on the claim type. The portal may request additional information during review.

Order and tracking details

Use the order number, checkout email, tracking number, and latest carrier status.

Package photos

For damage, photograph the shipping package, label, protective materials, and every affected area.

Item photos or video

Show the complete item and close views of the transit damage in clear lighting.

Delivery or police records

Stolen-delivery claims may require carrier details and, for orders above $30, a police report.

Keep the package until the review is complete.

Discarding packaging or damaged items too early can remove evidence needed to verify the claim.

LIMITS & EXCLUSIONS

Protection does not cover every order problem.

Kawaii Shield has separate shipping-protection and Fit Exchange rules. It does not remove customer responsibilities or override the eligibility requirements connected to either benefit.

Incorrect or incomplete addresses

Problems caused by an address entered incorrectly by the customer are excluded.

Minor cosmetic issues

The published terms exclude minor cosmetic damage such as slight color variation or small scratches.

Separate benefit limits

Shipping protection remains subject to its published one-occurrence claim limit. Fit Protection separately allows one approved Fit Exchange per protected order.

Automatic approval

Buying protection does not guarantee a claim will be approved. Timing, evidence, and eligibility still apply.

THE RIGHT ROUTE MATTERS

Kawaii Shield does not replace our Return Policy or product-quality support.

Use the route that matches the actual issue so the order reaches the correct review process. Fit Protection is a narrow size-exchange exception, not a general return program.

SHIPPING CLAIM OUTCOMES

Complete shipping claims move to eligibility review.

Review time varies with the issue and documentation. Watch the portal and your checkout email for questions or updates.

Possible approved resolutions

An approved claim may be resolved through replacement, reimbursement, or another available remedy, depending on the issue and eligibility.

If more information is needed

Respond with the requested evidence through the available claim or support channel. Missing documentation can delay or prevent approval.

If a claim is denied

Review the stated reason. Contact support for clarification when you believe relevant information was missed.

Kawaii Shield fees are non-refundable under the Refund Policy. Fit Protection is exchange only and creates no refund, store-credit, or cash entitlement. Claim-related data may be shared as described in the Privacy Policy.
