IMPORTANT NOTES:
  1. Late or non-compliant items: All exchanges and returns that arrive at our premises more than 14 days after receipt will be held in the warehouse for a maximum of 30 days, pending payment of new postage costs for return to the sender. The exchange/refund process will automatically lapse once this period has expired. The same applies to items that arrive showing signs of use or without tags.
  2. Video Evidence: To safeguard both parties, we will make a video when opening all returned orders to verify the condition of the items and compliance with the criteria described above. This video will serve as documentary evidence if a refund is refused because the requirements have not been met.
