🇬🇧 Returns & Refund Policy – Amelie

 

🧾 1. General Terms

Our returns and exchange policy applies to all purchases made on our website. Requests may be made for both defective and non-defective products, except where otherwise specified below.

🕒 2. Return Window

Customers have 7 calendar days from the date of delivery to initiate a return or exchange.

Items must be unused, unworn, unwashed, and returned with all original packaging, labels, and accessories.

⚠️  No returns or exchanges are accepted for intimate hygiene products (such as thongs/knickers), unless there is a manufacturing defect.

⚠️  Due to the intimate nature of our products, we do not accept exchanges resulting from incorrect size selection. A detailed size guide and real model references (height and measurements) are provided to help you choose the right size.

📦 3. Return Method & Costs

• Method: Returns must be sent by post.

• Return postage costs: To be covered by the customer. The return address will be provided upon request.

• Restocking fee: £5 per product for exchanges.

💸 4. Refunds

• Refunds will be processed within 7 working days of receiving and inspecting the returned items.

• The refund will be issued via the same payment method used at the time of purchase.

• In the case of a defective item within a bundle, the refund will be proportional.

Example: If a pack of 10 thongs costs £30 and one thong is defective, the refund will be £3.

📦 5. Lost or Undelivered Parcels

If your order is marked as delivered but has not been received:

• Please allow up to 9 working days for the courier's investigation.

• The courier must provide proof of delivery (photograph or signature).

• If proof of delivery is available, no refund or resend will be issued.

• If no proof is available, a refund or resend will be arranged.

⚠️  All lost parcel claims will be thoroughly reviewed due to a high volume of fraudulent claims.

🔄 6. Exchange Policy

We accept exchanges only in the case of a defective product, within the return window.

If the desired item is out of stock, you may:

• Receive store credit for the value of the product

• Choose an alternative product, with a price adjustment if necessary

⚠️  Exchanges are not accepted due to incorrect size selection for thongs or other intimate apparel.
