We are also prohibited by law from identifying an order as a “gift” for export purposes, even if a customer has placed the order with the intention of delivery to a gift recipient.

FAULTY POLICY

Bonita Collective will offer a refund if: 

• The garment is assessed and considered faulty.
• The garment varies significantly to the online description.
• The garment is different to the goods that were ordered.
• Faulty garments are those that are considered to hold a manufacturing fault.
• ‘Faults or damage’ that have been caused by the wearing of, or caring for the garment incorrectly, are not considered faults.

If an item is assessed and considered faulty, Bonita Collective offers a number of suitable solutions:

• A repair of the garment where possible.
• An exchange of the garment.
• A full refund of the garment.

Please note: Faulty items can only be returned for the above reasons provided that the garment is returned within a reasonable time frame from the purchase date.

All items are quality checked before they are dispatched; however on rare occasions there may be a fault we didn't find.

Claims for faulty goods must be made within 2 weeks of delivery.

Please note that the general wear and tear in the course of normal use is not considered a manufacturing fault on our garments. All our garments are delicate and should be handled carefully. Sequins or embellishments unravelling or falling off from mishandling is not considered a manufacturing fault. 

Our garments are handmade and can be very delicate if not handled properly. Bonita Collective is not required to fix garments that have been rough handled or worn.

All pieces come with care instruction information that should be followed. Please see the Our Embellishments on the website for further information.

RECEIVING A REFUND

Your refund will be credited by using the original payment method. Refunds can take up to 5 working days to show up on your account due to varying processing times between payment providers. You will receive a notification email once this process has been finalised.

LATE OR MISSING REFUNDS

If you have not received your refund yet, please periodically check your bank account to make sure it hasn’t been posted. Should it not appear on your statement, then please contact your credit card company directly; it may take some time before your refund is officially posted. Next contact your bank. There is often some processing time before a refund is posted.  If you have been through this process, please contact us at sales@bonitacollective.com
