Returns procedure
You have 14 days from the date of receipt of the parcel to request a return, the tracking number serving as proof of the date of receipt. If 14 days have passed since your purchase, we are unfortunately unable to offer you a refund or an exchange. To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition as when you received it. It must also be in its original packaging. Please follow exactly the procedure below for your request to be considered valid.
Contact Sabrina Kaufmann at himesama@sabrinakaufmann.com with the following information:
- A photo of the product as you received it
- A short explanation of why you are requesting a refund
- If the product is damaged, please include details and exact photos showing where the damage is visible.
- A copy of your purchase confirmation or invoice
- Your preferred option: exchange for a new product in the case of damaged delivery, voucher in the shop, or refund via the payment method you used at the time of purchase, Paypal or bank transfer (please enclose a bank details slip or your valid Paypal address).
We will contact you within 5 working days to confirm your request. We will send you the contact details where you can send us the return. Please note that return postage costs are at the buyer's expense, and that it is strongly recommended that you add a tracking or recorded delivery option in order to guarantee the safe return of the product(s). Please do not send the package to our manufacturer's facility noted on the clothing, but by all means use the address given to you during the returns procedure.
If the product has been damaged due to poor packaging by the purchaser or any other circumstance, altering the appearance of the product in any way from the photos you sent us prior to returning the product, we reserve the right not to issue a refund.
There are certain situations where only a partial refund is granted: (where applicable)
- Any item that is not in its original condition, is damaged or is missing parts for reasons that are not due to an error on our part.
- Any item that is requested to be returned after more than 14 days after delivery.
Refunds
For customers who receive incorrect or damaged items, if this applies to you, please contact us at himesama@sabrinakaufmann.com with photos of the damaged items and we will arrange a refund.
Your refund will be issued within 14 days of the actual dispatch of your parcel with the purchases to be returned, provided your post has actually reached us.
Late or missing refunds
If you have not yet received your refund, please check with your bank first or contact your credit card issuer, as there may be a delay before your refund is officially posted.
Depending on the bank and countries, there is often a processing time before a refund is completed.
If after completing all these steps you have still not received your refund, please contact us at himesama@sabrinakaufmann.com.
