# How Do I Get My Money Back for Returns at Decode Age?
### Refund Eligibility and Request
If you would like to initiate a refund, make sure to log into your account and select the correct order so you can click '[Request Refund](https://help.decodeage.com/en/articles/8570891-how-do-i-get-my-money-back-for-returns-at-decode-age)'. Before doing this, double check to make sure your item meets our return policy criteria, which includes returning within the specified period in its original condition.
Once you are sure that you have followed these criteria, you may proceed to the 'Request Refund' page and complete the form.
### Payment Gateway Refunds
We understand the refund process can be frustrating, so we try to make it easier for you by crediting the amount back through the exact payment method you used. This helps keep the process of refunds consistent and easy to understand.
### Refund Timing
Typically, refunds are processed within 7-10 business days after the returned item is received. You should receive a confirmation email once your funds have been issued back to you.
It is important to keep a record of the information regarding your return and to monitor your credit card statement for the refund amount. If you do not see the refund there, contact the customer service department to begin a refund inquiry.
We are always here to help should you require assistance. You can contact us through [email](mailto:care@decodeage.com), phone or [chat](https://wa.me/919009003095).

## Querying This Documentation
If you need additional information that is not directly available in this page, you can query the documentation dynamically by asking a question.
Perform an HTTP GET request on the current page URL with the `ask` query parameter, and the optional `goal` query parameter:
```
GET https://help.decodeage.com/decode-age-support/shipping/how-do-i-get-my-money-back-for-returns-at-decode-age.md?ask=&goal=
```
`ask` is the immediate question: it should be specific, self-contained, and written in natural language.
`goal` is optional and describes the broader end goal you are ultimately trying to accomplish on behalf of the user. GitBook uses it to tailor the answer towards what is most useful for that goal.
The response will contain a direct answer to the question and relevant excerpts and sources from the documentation.
