Cosabella tip
Miss the 30-day window and you're not completely out of luck — items returned after that point can still get exchange or store credit, just not a cash refund.
On Gossamer tip
Refunds can take up to two full billing cycles to show up on your card statement, so don't panic if it's not back within a week or two.
