2 | Starting a Return or Exchange

  1. Email contact@firefliesperformancecostumes.com with:

    • Order number

    • Item(s) you wish to return or exchange

    • Reason (fit, color, etc.)

  2. Our team replies with a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number and prepaid label (U.S. customers).

  3. Pack the garment in the original bag/box, include the RMA inside, and drop it with the carrier within 5 business days of receiving the label.

  4. We inspect all returns within 48 hours of arrival. If approved, a refund or exchange ships/credits automatically. If the piece fails inspection, we will notify you and ship it back at your expense.


3 | Refunds

  • Method Refunds are issued to the original payment method (Square, Apple Pay, or gift card).

  • Timing Please allow:

    • 2–4 business days for us to process once received

    • 5–10 business days for your bank or card issuer to post the credit

  • Restocking Fee None, unless garments require cleaning; then a $25 restoration fee is deducted.


4 | Exchanges

  • Size / Style Swap – We will hold your requested replacement for 7 days after sending the RMA. If your return is not in transit by then, the hold is released.

  • Price Differences – If the new item costs more, we’ll email you a secure Square link for payment; if it costs less, we refund the difference.


5 | Damaged, Incorrect, or Lost Items

  • Damaged on Arrival – Photograph the packaging and item within 48 hours and email contact@firefliesperformancecostumes.com. We’ll send a replacement or issue a full refund, including shipping.

  • Shipping Loss – Packages marked “delivered” but missing must be reported to us within 4 days. We’ll open a carrier claim and assist with a replacement once the claim closes.

  • Wrong Item Sent – Our mistake? We pay all return-shipping costs and get the correct dress to you ASAP.


6 | In-Person Studio & Competition Purchases

All policies above apply. Returns may be brought back to the Buffalo, MN showroom by appointment for on-the-spot inspection and refund. Competition-floor purchases follow the same 14-day window; label requests can wait until you arrive home.


7 | International Orders

At this time we do not ship outside the United States; therefore returns from other countries do not apply.


8 | Gift Returns

If marked “gift” at checkout and shipped directly to the recipient, approved returns generate a Fireflies e-gift card for the value of the item once received. If the gift giver had the order shipped to themselves first, the refund will go to their original payment method.


9 | Late or Missing Refunds

If more than 10 business days have passed since you received our refund-confirmation email:

  1. Check your bank/credit-card statement again.

  2. Contact your card issuer; it may take additional time before your refund posts.

  3. Still no luck? Email contact@firefliesperformancecostumes.com with your order number and “REFUND HELP” in the subject.


10 | Policy Abuse & Fair Use

We reserve the right to refuse transactions or returns where we suspect: excessive wear-and-return (“wardrobing”), fraudulent behavior, or resale of our garments.


11 | Changes to This Policy

We may update this Refund & Returns Policy to reflect operational or legal changes. The “Last updated” date will change accordingly. Continued purchases after changes signify acceptance.
