WE ACCEPT RETURNS AND EXCHANGES
OUR GOAL IS CUSTOMER SATISFACTION; WE WANT YOU TO COME BACK!
WE WILL GO OUT OF OUR WAY
TO FIX ANY MISTAKE WE HAVE MADE! BUT WE WILL NOT BE RESPONSIBLE FOR ANY OF THE FOLLOWING
skin sensitivities or
various allergies (smell, touch, etc.) to fabrics. We supply the
fabric composition of our garments in each garment's listing;
color variations from computer to computer,
monitor to monitor, or other electronic device (we do
our very best to provide accurate photos of each garment); and
any other issues that do not relate to
manufacturer’s defects, gross misrepresentation by the seller
or seller errors.
ALL ABOUT THE TYPES OF RETURNS WE ACCEPT
NON SELLER FAULT
RETURNS
To return a garment(s) for refund or for
exchange, the customer must immediately contact us within 3
calendar days of receiving the shipment for issuance of the Return
Merchandise Authorization (RMA) code and for return addressing and
instructions.
We use the RMA code to easily track returns
per customer. Only returns post marked within 3
business days of receipt of the RMA code will be accepted back for
exchange or for refund.
All returns post marked outside of 3 business
days of receiving the RMA code, or returns received
without the RMA code clearly marked on the outside of the return
shipment, will be refused at the post office and returned as sender
unknown and no refund will be issued and no exchange allowed. Without
the
RMA code, we have no idea who you are or that a return shipment is
expected from you!
If a customer wishes to exchange a garment(s)
rather than accept a refund, the customer is free to
do so but must pay any difference in cost between the garment(s) (if
applicable), and the customer must also pay the cost associated with
having the exchange garment(s) shipped out.
We charge a 15% re-stocking fee for a garment(s) that is being
returned for refund. The fee is applied by taking the final sale price
of the garment(s) and deducting 15% from that sale price. The
re-stocking fee will be waived only for
garments being returned for exchange. Original shipping and handling is
non refundable.
What is a Non Seller Fault Return?
a garment that was
purchased that does not fit the customer the way the customer feels it
should is not any fault of the seller! We have done our best by
providing actual garment measurements within the garment’s listing and
by making provisions for customers to return or exchange garments. In
addition, we have also taken the time to write detailed and accurate
garment descriptions and we provide the best photos possible for each
garment;
a size variation of
one (1) inch or less between two identical garments from the
same manufacturer in the same size but in different colors; this is a
manufacturer's sizing variation that we have no control over. When we
receive garments, we measure one garment in each size from the
same garment lot; time does not allow us to individually measure each
garment received in a particular size.
*** See the 'Seller
Fault Returns' section (below) for when a sizing issue would be
considered a fault of the seller. ***
SELLER FAULT
RETURNS
For all seller fault returns or exchanges,
depending on the situation, we may request that the
customer provide a digital image of the problem with the garment(s) so
that the seller can look at the image(s) and use it as a means of
determining the validity of the customer's seller fault return
request. The image(s) will also be used for income tax purposes as we
will need to write the garment(s) off as a loss. If a digital image(s)
of the problem is requested and the customer does not provide
the image, no return for refund or for exchange will be allowed and an
RMA code will not be issued.
Should the customer ship the garment(s) back
anyhow, the shipment will be refused at the post office
and returned as unknown sender and no refund will be issued or exchange
allowed. Without the RMA code, we have no idea who you are or that a
return shipment is expected from you!
What is a Seller Fault Return?
We realize that the seller's error in
description, gross misrepresentation of an item, or a
manufacturer's defect in a garment that was not previously described in
the garment's listing is NEVER the fault of the customer.
In instances where actual measurements were
not provided for a garment(s) and the customer
claims the garment(s) does not fall into the measurement range as
provided in our sizing charts, then the seller will ask the customer to
measure the garment(s) and if the sizing is not within the range
shown in the sizing chart (excluding differences of under one (1) inch
or less which are a manufacturers sizing variation), then this would be
considered a seller fault return. This is another reason for
why we provide either the actual measurements for our garments or the
sizing charts for when actual measurements are not available.
Only for seller fault returns will the seller
waive the re-stocking fee, reimburse the return
shipping cost and the original shipping and handling charges and any
RST/PST tax paid (if applicable). For seller fault returns for
exchange, the cost to ship the exchange garment(s) to the customer will
be paid by the seller. Please see the 'Return Shipping Methods" section
(below) for acceptable return shipping methods as we will not reimburse
return shipping costs for more expensive return shipping
methods.
For all returns due to a fault of the seller,
the seller retains the option to either exchange the
garment with an identical garment that measures accurately, or if an
identical garment is not available, then the customer will have the
choice of choosing another garment of equal or lesser value or the
customer may request a full refund. If the customer chooses another
garment in exchange and that garment is of greater value, the difference
in cost between garments will be the responsibility of the
customer.
The customer MUST contact the seller within
three (3) calendar days of delivery of the shipment to
report a seller's fault problem and the return shipment must be post
marked within three (3) business days of receiving the RMA code from the
seller. The RMA code is also required for seller fault returns
or exchanges.
CONDITION
RETURNED ITEMS MUST BE IN
All garments that we sell are BRAND NEW with
or without tags and we expect them back in that same
BRAND NEW condition as when shipped out (we keep detailed photos of all
garments).
ALL garments MUST BE returned with all tags,
accessories, and in the original manufacturers or other
protective packaging. WITHOUT EXCEPTION, no refund will be given and no
exchange will be allowed for any garment(s) that were worn or damaged
(including perfume, tobacco or other smells) or if missing tags
and/or accessories and manufacturer's or other protective packaging.
ACCEPTABLE
RETURN SHIPPING METHODS
We DO
NOT accept returns via couriers!
In the past when we accepted courier returned
shipments, we were charged high brokerage and other
fees by the courier companies. We simply cannot afford to pay these
fees. We require that returns come via the cheapest Canada Post, USPS,
or International air return methods available. We recommend that the
customer insure the
return shipment because we will not be responsible for return
shipments that do not reach us.
