REFUND POLICY FOR RETURNS, EXCHANGES, MISSING, FAULTY OR DAMAGED ITEMS
The following is provided as a summary only and the details laid out on the Terms and Conditions page are the overriding terms and conditions.
UK Customers
In addition to your statutory rights, as detailed thereon, we are happy for you to return for refund or exchange items with which you are not completely satisfied(*) (**). Our returns/exchange period is 21 days from date of order.
(*) Excluding items marked as Clearance, which are not eligible for return, refund or exchange.
(**)
For hygiene reasons, items such as lingerie or swimwear bearing the hygiene seal may not be eligible for refund if the sealed packaging is opened or broken or the hygiene seal is missing upon return.
Any and all claims for damaged or faulty goods should be supported by photographic evidence and must be advised to us within 10 days from date of order. Claims for missing items must be advised to us within 10 days from date of order.
Please complete an online returns/damaged goods form.
Where requested, damaged goods must be returned to us within the 21 day period unless it is agreed otherwise. The decision as to whether damaged goods must be returned will be ours alone and failure to return the goods will invalidate any claim for a refund.
Refunds and/or exchanges are subject to the return and receipt of your purchase in its original (i.e. saleable) condition complete with any item-specific packaging that forms part of the sale, e.g. branded presentation/gift boxes, together with any and all tags and relevant accessories, unused and unwashed, within 21 days from date of order along with the original order confirmation documentation (emailed to you when you placed your order through our site or our affiliate sales channels) and a completed returns note.
Items returned in an unsaleable condition will not be eligible for a refund.
Please note that we are unable to process your refund without a completed returns note (online submission or paper document) and a copy of your order confirmation/invoice.
Items acquired to order from our suppliers to meet specific customer requirements, e.g. size/colour/pattern, may be returned but will be refunded by way of eCredit to your account for use against any future purchase.
Where the goods were delivered to a third party and you are unable to return them to us, you will not be entitled to a refund. In the event of claims re faulty goods or goods damaged in transit, we are happy to exchange goods if required but we reserve the right to refund rather than replace your order if we believe that there is a significant likelihood of replacement goods also being damaged in transit.
Items marked as CLEARANCE are NOT eligible for return, refund or exchange beyond the statutory 14 days from date of receipt of goods cancellation period.
Charges for Gift Wrapping are non-refundable as this is provided as a service and the consumables used cannot be re-sold.
The order will be refunded to your original source of payment once the items have been checked for any damage and are deemed to be in a saleable condition. Refunds are subject to the deduction of a 5% (min £5.00) administration fee on the original purchase price (including delivery where applicable). This covers the cost of our original postage and packaging (where applicable), our payment processing charges incurred on the original purchase and the refund and our handling and processing of the return itself.
Original delivery charges will not be refunded in the case of a return but, if you request an exchange for returned items, e.g for a different size, you will not be charged again for delivery.
Parcels are returned at your own risk and cost. We strongly recommend you use a tracked delivery service or obtain a collection note from your chosen courier in case the parcel is lost in transit as we are responsible for your parcel only once it has been received into our warehouse.
Items lost in transit to us will not be treated as returned and will not be refunded. Items damaged in transit to us will not be refunded. Any claims for items lost or damaged in transit must be made against your chosen courier. If required, items returned to us that are found to be damaged or in a non-saleable condition upon receipt can be returned to you subject to payment of our redelivery administration fee of £5.00 or the original order delivery charge, whichever is the higher.
Original order delivery charges will only be refunded in the case of incorrect, damaged or faulty goods (this does not affect your statutory rights). We will cover the cost of second class return postage (as defined by Royal Mail or other appropriate couriers according to weight) in these circumstances.
Any additional costs incurred in returning an item to us, e.g. first class post, premium rate delivery services, etc., are incurred at the customer's own choice and expense
TPL Apparel Ltd reserves the right to charge a carriage/handling charge if goods ordered and returned cause excessive cost to the business.
From time to time we may offer FREE RETURNS as a promotion. Items ordered or returned during this period will be refunded in full upon receipt together with the costs of posting.
International Customers (Europe/Worldwide)
Our returns policy applies as detailed above.
Should you wish to return items, it is very important that the return parcel is marked RETURNED GOODS. This avoids customs and duties charges being incurred for import back into the UK. Where we are able to identify returned goods parcels not appropriately marked, we will reject delivery and instruct the carriers to return the parcel to you for correct re-sending. We will only refund the purchase price once goods have been received. Where we are unable to identify the parcel as being a return and we incur customs and duties charges as a result of the parcel not being correctly marked we will deduct the charges from the amount refundable.
Send your return via a prepaid, insured, traceable method, marking your package clearly as Returned Goods to avoid delays at Customs.
