Refund policy

Effective: May 29, 2026

We want you to love The Traveler. If something isn't right, this policy explains how returns and refunds work for orders placed at thetraveler.shop. Orders are sold by New Generation Hairstylists LLC ("The Traveler"). Checkout, payments, and refunds are handled securely through Shopify. To start a return, email support@thetraveler.shop with your order number.

14-day return window
You may return your order within 14 days of delivery for a refund. To be eligible, the dryer must be unused, in its original condition, and returned in its original packaging with the concentrator nozzle, storage pouch, and any included materials. Returns requested after 14 days, or for items that show signs of use, may not be accepted or may qualify only for a partial refund.

How to start a return
Email support@thetraveler.shop with your order number and the reason for your return. We'll reply with return instructions and the address to ship to. Please wait for our instructions before sending anything back.

Refunds
Once we receive and inspect your return, we issue your refund to the original payment method used at checkout through Shopify. Refunds are typically processed within a few business days of our receiving the return; your bank or card issuer may take an additional 5 to 10 business days to post the credit. If the original payment method is no longer available, we'll work with you on an alternative permitted by Shopify, such as store credit.

Return shipping costs
If you changed your mind, you are responsible for return shipping, and any original shipping charges are non-refundable. We recommend a tracked, insured service. If your order arrived damaged, defective, or incorrect, we cover return shipping and refund you in full, including any original shipping.

No restocking fee
We don't charge a restocking fee on eligible returns made within the 14-day window.

Damaged or defective on arrival
If your order arrives damaged, defective, or incorrect, contact support@thetraveler.shop within 7 days of delivery with your order number and a few photos. We'll make it right at no cost to you, with a replacement or a full refund, and we cover return shipping. Issues that appear later may be covered under our one-year limited warranty.

Non-returnable situations
- Items returned more than 14 days after delivery.
- Items that are used, damaged by the customer, or missing parts, accessories, or original packaging.
- Gift cards and any items identified as final sale at the time of purchase.
- Items purchased from a third-party seller rather than thetraveler.shop.

Exchanges
The fastest way to exchange an item, for example if it arrived damaged, is to request a replacement when you contact us, subject to availability.
