SOUND FAMILIAR?

Backhanded praise gets easier to handle when you do not accept the hidden premise

Your gut may notice the sting first

The checklist helps you separate the compliment from the criticism attached to it and decide whether it was clumsy, careless, or pointed.

A pause can say more than over-explaining

Use silence, repeat the phrase back plainly, and resist nervous agreement or self-deprecation.

You can choose the lane that fits

Respond with grace, light humor, or a clear name-it depending on the person, the pattern, and what matters.

The replay can give the comment a second life

Keep your footing, match your response to the pattern, and use AI prompts to decode, draft, and rehearse calmly.

 
WHAT'S INSIDE

Inside the checklist, 6 sections and 24 items

1 Catch What Just Happened

Notice the sting under the praise, separate the compliment from the criticism, and decide whether it was clumsy, careless, or pointed.

2 Buy Yourself a Beat

Pause, let silence work, repeat the remark plainly, and avoid filling the gap with nervous agreement.

3 Pick Your Lane

Choose grace, humor, or a clean name-it so your response matches the moment without escalating it.

4 Keep Your Footing

Do not accept the hidden premise, skip retaliation, and remember a jab usually says more about the speaker.

5 Protect the Relationship (or Don't)

Assume clumsiness first when someone matters, but let repeated patterns guide your boundary.

6 AI Tools to Respond Well

Use prompts to decode the hidden message, draft three response styles, and rehearse a calm tone.

Yes. We provide free shipping to over 200 countries around the world. However, there are some locations we are unable to ship to. If you happen to be located in one of those countries we will contact you.

What about customs?

We are not responsible for any custom fees once the items have shipped. By purchasing our products, you consent that one or more packages may be shipped to you and may get custom fees when they arrive to your country.

Do you provide tracking information?

Yes, you will receive an email once your order ships that contains your tracking information. If you haven’t received tracking info within 5 days, please contact us.

My tracking says “no information available at the moment”.

For some shipping companies, it takes 2-5 business days for the tracking information to update on the system. If your order was placed more than 5 business days ago and there is still no information on your tracking number, please contact us.

Will my items be sent in one package?

For logistical reasons, items in the same purchase will sometimes be sent in separate packages, even if you've specified combined shipping.

If you have any other questions, please contact us and we will do our best to help you out.

Returns

Order cancellation

All orders can be cancelled until they are shipped. If your order has been paid and you need to make a change or cancel an order, you must contact us within 12 hours. Once the packaging and shipping process has started, it can no longer be cancelled.

Refunds

Your satisfaction is our #1 priority. Therefore, you can request a refund or reshipment for ordered products if:

  • If you did not receive the product within the guaranteed time (45 days not including 1-3 day processing) you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you received the wrong item you can request a refund or a reshipment.
  • If you do not want the product you’ve received you may request a refund but you must return the item at your expense and the item must be unused.

We do not issue the refund if:

  • Your order did not arrive due to factors within your control (i.e. providing the wrong shipping address)
  • Your order did not arrive due to exceptional circumstances outside of our control (i.e. not cleared by customs, delayed by a natural disaster).
  • Other exceptional circumstances outside of our control.

*You can submit refund requests within 15 days after the guaranteed period for delivery (45 days) has expired. You can do it by sending a message at support@sellvia.com

Exchanges

If for any reason you would like to exchange your product, perhaps for a different size in clothing, you must contact us first and we will guide you through the steps.
