In short. Unworn, unaltered units in their original packaging can be returned within 14 days of delivery. Units that have been worn, cut, plucked, bleached or coloured to your own brief are final sale for hygiene reasons. Anything faulty, damaged or sent in error is our cost to put right.
1. What can be returned
We accept a return within 14 days of the date your order is delivered, provided the unit is:
- Unworn — not installed, not glued, not taped, no product applied.
- Unaltered — lace uncut, hairline unplucked, knots unbleached, length and density untouched.
- In its original packaging, with any tags, net and hair tie still attached.
- Free of smoke, perfume, product and hair odour.
Hair is inspected on arrival. A unit that reaches us worn or altered cannot be refunded and will be returned to you at your cost.
2. What cannot be returned
For hygiene, and because the work cannot be undone, the following are final sale:
- Any unit that has been worn or installed, however briefly.
- Any unit that has been cut, plucked, bleached, tinted or restyled after delivery.
- Units coloured or customised to your own brief — bespoke colour, cap size or density made specifically for you.
- Bundles and closures where the weft or tie has been cut.
- Gift cards.
Our hand-coloured collection units — Jardin Exotique and 24 Karat — are made to order and coloured by hand for each customer. They are covered by the 14-day return above only where the unit is a standard listed colourway and reaches you unworn and unaltered. A colourway mixed to your own reference is bespoke, and is final sale.
3. Cancelling before we start
Because units are built to order, you may cancel and be refunded in full within 24 hours of placing your order, before the cap is built and colouring begins. After that point materials have been committed and hand-work has started, so a cancellation is treated as a return under section 1.
4. Faulty, damaged or incorrect items
If a unit arrives faulty, damaged in transit, or is not what you ordered, tell us within 48 hours of delivery with photographs. We will repair, replace or refund it, and we pay the return shipping. This does not apply to normal variation in hand-coloured hair — see section 8.
5. How to start a return
- Email crownandbloomexotichair@gmail.com within 14 days of delivery with your order number, the reason, and photographs in daylight.
- Wait for a return authorisation and the return address. Parcels sent back without one cannot be traced to your order and cannot be refunded.
- Send the unit back tracked and insured, in its original packaging, within 7 days of authorisation.
6. How refunds are paid
Once the unit reaches us and passes inspection, we approve the refund within 3 working days and pay it to the original payment method. Allow up to 10 working days for it to appear, depending on your bank or card issuer. We do not refund to a different card, account or person.
Where an order was paid in one currency and settled in another, the refund is issued for the amount we received. Exchange-rate movement between payment and refund is outside our control.
7. Shipping costs, duties and taxes
- Return shipping is paid by you, unless the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect.
- Original delivery charges are not refunded on a change-of-mind return.
- Import duty and tax charged by your country on delivery is paid to your government, not to us, and we cannot refund it. Most customs authorities will refund duty on a returned item — you claim it directly from them, and we will supply any paperwork you need.
- A refused or unclaimed parcel is not a return. If it comes back to us we will refund the item value less shipping and any charges we incur.
8. Colour, texture and natural variation
Our units are made from virgin human hair and coloured by hand. Small variation in tone, undertone and wave between one unit and the next is a feature of hand-work, not a fault, and screens do not render colour identically. We photograph every unit as it actually is. If you are matching to something specific, message us first and we will tell you honestly whether we can hit it.
9. Your statutory rights
Nothing in this policy limits any right you have under the consumer law that applies where you live, including rights in respect of goods that are faulty or not as described.
