ELSE Lingerie tip
The 7-day clock starts at receipt, not at order date — plan to try things on the day your package arrives if you want any real shot at returning it.
Underoutfit tip
You must open a request in the Easy Returns Portal before shipping anything back — packages sent without pre-approval get refused. Exchanges are capped at up to 4 per original order, so use them deliberately rather than for repeated size swaps.
