## The issues in detail

#### What we found

Your site gives more than one return window: 14 days and 30 days.

#### Why it matters

Contradicting your own refund terms is a classic misrepresentation signal. A reviewer can't tell which promise a customer will actually get, so the policy can't be relied on.

#### Evidence

“Refund policy | Bloom & Co Candles Refund policy You can return unused items within 30 days of delivery. All sale items are non-refundable. This policy…” [https://bloomandco-candles.example/policies/refund-policy](https://bloomandco-candles.example/policies/refund-policy)

“FAQ | Bloom & Co Candles FAQ How long do I have to return something? You can return unused items within 14 days of delivery. Every Bloom & Co candle is hand-poured in smal…” [https://bloomandco-candles.example/pages/faq](https://bloomandco-candles.example/pages/faq)

#### How to fix it

Decide on one return window and use exactly the same wording on your refund policy, FAQ, product pages, terms and footer. If some items have different terms, say so clearly in the refund policy.

15 min You can do this

#### Step by step on Shopify

1. In Shopify admin, go to Settings → Policies → Return and refund policy.
2. Add the missing details, then Save.
3. Set the same return window under Settings → Policies → Return rules so Google gets matching data.

#### Wording you can use · Refund policy, FAQ, product pages and terms

You can return any item within [30] days of delivery for a full refund. [List any exceptions here.]

Replace anything in [square brackets] with your real details.
