The short answer
You have 30 days from purchase to return sunglasses for a full refund or exchange. Item must be unworn, in original packaging, with proof of purchase. Online orders ship back free via UPS label or can be returned to any standalone Sunglass Hut store (not airports, outlets, or department-store counters). Refunds hit your original payment method in 5 to 15 business days. Original shipping fees and customised/engraved items are non-refundable.

How long does a Sunglass Hut 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 Sunglass Hut’s own policy works on a 30-day window, ask inside it and the request is routine; outside it you’re relying on goodwill or statutory rights.
