Blue Nile Returns Process
Blue Nile offers a 30-day money back guarantee to their customers with free shipping both ways. You can either get a refund or exchange the item, ‘no questions asked’.
One thing to note is that the 30 days starts from when the item is shipped, not when you receive it.
There are some conditions – to be eligible for refund or exchange you must provide all the product documentation and the item must be in the original purchase condition.
