Exchanges 

Black Friday Sale items can be exchanged within 7 days of delivery unless defective please ensure they are unworn, unwashed, with all tags attached, and in their original packaging.

Return Process
For detailed information on how to return an item, please consult our Returns Policy. This policy provides comprehensive guidelines on the steps to take for exchanges and the necessary conditions for items being returned.

We appreciate your understanding and cooperation as we strive to provide the best possible service during the Black Friday shopping season. Should you have any questions or require further assistance, please do not hesitate to reach out to our customer service team.

Sale Items

Sale items that are further discounted through daily deals, flash sales, or similar promotions are final sale and not eligible for exchanges or refunds unless the item is faulty. This policy ensures fair and transparent pricing during promotional periods.

Discount stacking 

Only one (1) discount can apply to orders. During Black Friday, items are automatically discounted and therefore further discount codes will not be applicable to orders until the Black Friday sale ends.
