Can I cancel a Nykaa order after it has been shipped?

No. Nykaa will never cancel orders once they have been shipped . Your options are: (1) refuse the parcel at the door, the courier returns it and a refund is processed after warehouse check-in; or (2) accept delivery and raise a return within 15 days via the 'Have a Concern' button on the order. Email support@nykaa.com if the courier isn't cooperating.

How do I get a refund from Nykaa for a damaged or wrong product?

Raise a return through **Orders → Have a Concern → Write To Us** within 15 days of delivery and attach photos of the product and invoice. You can also email **support@nykaa.com** with the same evidence. After the courier picks up the item and the warehouse verifies it, the refund is initiated to your original payment method within 24-48 business hours (about 5 business days to land in your bank).

How do I escalate a complaint with Nykaa?

If support@nykaa.com sends copy-paste replies, escalate in this order: (1) reply in the same ticket asking for a complaint reference number, Nykaa's privacy policy commits to issuing these; (2) email **grievanceofficercs@nykaa.com**, the official Grievance Officer mailbox; (3) for international orders use **internationalsupport@nykaa.com**. Keep all correspondence in one thread so you have a paper trail for a card chargeback or consumer-forum complaint.

REFUND GUIDE

How to Get a Nykaa Refund After Delivery.

Nykaa refunds are per-order, and their own policy gives you a 15-day window. Miss it and you still have tools, a clear email, a card-issuer chargeback. Here's the playbook.

The short answer

Nykaa lets you cancel any order for free before it ships and starts the refund within 24-48 business hours. After delivery, most products can be returned within 15 days via 'Have a Concern' in the app; the refund is processed once the warehouse verifies the returned item. Bank refunds take ~5 business days to reflect; COD orders are refunded by bank transfer using details you provide. Promotional items, opened beauty products, and intimates are typically non-returnable.

What Nykaa actually says

“In case of cancellation before shipment, we initiate the refund within 24-48 business hours after receiving the cancellation request.”

How long does a Nykaa refund take?

Most merchants agree to a straightforward refund within 1 to 3 working days of a well-written email request. Once agreed, the money itself takes another 3 to 5 working days to land, that part is card-network processing and no merchant can skip it. If nothing has arrived 10 working days after a written “refund approved”, reply on the same thread asking for the ARN (acquirer reference number), which your bank can trace.

Note Nykaa’s own policy works on a 15-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
