What If I Can't Cancel My Order?

Vessi says orders older than 30 minutes are 'already in the works' and can't be cancelled from your account. You can still email support right away and ask them to stop shipment. Otherwise, wait for delivery and use the normal returns process: unworn items in the original box, within **30 days of delivery**. A **$10 USD return fee** (plus tax) comes out of the refund unless you bought Checkout+. Refunds reach your original payment method about 7 to 10 business days after Vessi receives the return.

Can I change or cancel my pre-order?

Yes. Vessi's pre-order policy says to contact the support team **before your pair ships** for a **full refund**. Email support.us@vessi.com (or support.ca@vessi.com for Canadian orders) or use live chat, and include your order number. Once the pre-order arrives, the usual 30-day returns and free exchanges apply from the delivery date. Keep the email reply as proof of when you asked to cancel, in case the order ships anyway.

How many days do I have to cancel?

For a normal order, you have about **30 minutes**, not days, to cancel it yourself from your account or confirmation email. After that you're relying on support stopping it before it ships, which Vessi warns may not happen because it 'moves fast'. If you miss the window, you have **30 days from delivery** to return unworn shoes for a refund, minus the $10 fee. Pre-orders can be cancelled any time before they ship.

What is your return & exchange policy?

Vessi accepts returns and exchanges within **30 days of delivery** on eligible items bought from vessi.com: - **Footwear** must be unworn, undamaged and in the original shoebox. A missing or damaged box costs $5 more. - **Apparel** must be unworn and unwashed, with tags attached. - **Final Sale** items, gift cards and hygiene items can't be returned. - A **$10 USD return fee** (plus tax) comes out of your refund. Exchanges are free. - Refunds go to your original payment method about **7 to 10 business days** after Vessi receives the return.

Is Checkout+ refundable?

No. Checkout+ is an optional add-on of about $7 that covers free returns and package protection. Vessi says it's non-refundable once the order is placed, even if you never return anything, because the package protection starts when the order ships. It can only be added at checkout, not afterwards. If you return a Checkout+ order, you skip the standard $10 return fee. Without Checkout+, you can still return items but pay the $10 fee.

Does Vessi have a subscription I need to cancel?

No. Vessi sells shoes, apparel and accessories as **one-off purchases**. There's no membership, auto-renewal or free trial to cancel. If you see a recurring charge labelled 'Vessi', check whether it's a buy-now-pay-later instalment (Vessi offers Affirm/Afterpay-style payments) or a charge from a lookalike site. The only add-on is Checkout+, a one-time, non-refundable fee of about $7 at checkout. To stop marketing emails, use the unsubscribe link in any Vessi email.

Is there a Vessi customer service phone number?

Vessi doesn't run a general customer-service phone line. Its contact page lists only **support.us@vessi.com** (US/international) and live chat, and reviewers often complain there's no number to call. The FAQ lists **+1 929-470-1667** for accessibility issues, and the Bellevue Square store can be reached on 425-484-2622 for in-store matters. For cancellations and refunds, email is the most reliable channel because it gives you a written record. Vessi says it aims to reply within 1 to 2 business days.

What if Vessi won't refund me or ignores my emails?

First, send a dated follow-up to support.us@vessi.com (or support.ca@vessi.com for Canada). Quote your order number and the return policy: '30 days of delivery', refund to the original payment method. Ask for a human agent instead of the AI assistant. If you've shipped a return, attach the tracking number. If Vessi cancelled or failed to deliver your order, ask for a **full** refund; BBB complaints show partial refunds were offered and then corrected. If there's still no response after about 14 days, a card chargeback or PayPal dispute is the usual next step.

How to Get a Vessi Refund Within the 30-Day Window.

The short answer

Vessi has no subscriptions, so this policy covers one-off shoe, apparel and accessory orders from vessi.com and Vessi-owned stores. Unworn items in the original shoebox can be returned within 30 days of delivery. Vessi takes a $10 USD return fee (plus tax) and $5 more if the box is missing or damaged. The refund goes to your original payment method about 7 to 10 business days after Vessi receives the return. Exchanges are free. Final Sale items, gift cards and the Checkout+ add-on are non-refundable. Vessi shoes bought from another retailer must go back to that retailer. Separately, you can cancel an order for no fee within 30 minutes of placing it, or before a pre-order ships.

What Vessi actually says

“We accept returns and exchanges within 30 days of delivery on eligible items purchased from Vessi.com.”

30-day cancellation windowPro-rata refund: no

How long does a Vessi 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 Vessi’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.

Refund FAQ for Vessi

If **less than 30 minutes** have passed, you can cancel it yourself. Log into your Vessi account with the email you used at checkout (you can create an account with that email if you don't have one), open the order and click **Cancel**. You can also open your order confirmation email, click **View Order**, then **Cancel**. If there's no Cancel button, Vessi has already started processing the order. In that case, email **support.us@vessi.com** (US/international) or **support.ca@vessi.com** (Canada) with your order number and ask them to stop it before it ships. Cancellation isn't guaranteed, but there's no fee.
