How it's used
Retailers often use the phrase 貨物出門，恕不退換 to explicitly state their no return policy. While it technically covers both returning for a refund and swapping for a new item, it is most frequently used in the context of swapping a defective or incorrect size item for a better one.
Examples
The shirt doesn't fit, I want to take it back for an exchange.
Can I exchange items bought here?

Common mistake
Do not confuse this with 換貨, which specifically focuses on the act of swapping goods. 退換 implies a broader process that may involve returning the item first before selecting a replacement.
