SHIPPING POLICY

DELIVERY TIME

Total delivery time includes order processing time + shipping time.

Average order processing time is 2-5 business days (weekends are not included). Please allow 2-5 business days before your order ships and a tracking number is generated.

Shipping time (including 2-5 days of order processing mentioned above) will be approximately 6-12 days on average for US, UK, AUS and most EU countries. It can be 12-16 days for Eastern European, Scandinavian and Balkan countries and Cyprus due to transfers between carriers. And occasionally this can be 3-5 days longer due to customs procedures, unexpected delays in the logistics chain, longer than usual transfer times between international and local carriers or during Holiday season. 

As we work with different international and local manufacturers across the world, depending on the items you ordered your items may arrive in separate packages on different dates.

RATES

lorettalace.com has one checkout process and offers STANDARD SHIPPING for all items. Current shipping rate is $6.99 for US and $8.99 for the rest of the world.

*CHANGE OF ADDRESS FOR AN ORDER: Any address change must be emailed to us within 12 hours of the time the original order is placed. We do not accept any responsibility or liability for any address change notified to us beyond that time frame. In most cases we'll do our best to update the address even if it was notified to us beyond the 12 hours time frame, however we may not be able to do so if the order has already been shipped to the original address of the order, in which case it will be the responsibility of the customer.

E-mails sent by customer may sometimes end up in our spam folder. If a change of address request has been emailed to us within the 12-hour period and we've skipped it due that e-mail ending up in the spam folder, it will be our responsibility to ensure that the customer receives the ordered item(s) at the new address.

ORDER CANCELLATION

Orders can only be cancelled within the first 24 hours. We don't cancel orders after that period. If you change your mind after the purchase, you need to receive the item(s) first and then follow the normal return procedure.

*IF YOU REFUSE DELIVERY YOU WILL NOT BE ENTITLED TO REFUND PLEASE READ BELOW

IMPORTANT : If you decide to return the item you purchased before you receive it, please DO NOT refuse delivery, otherwise the delivery company will have to send the item back to our supplier overseas in which case the higher return delivery charge and all applicable customs charges will be the responsibility of the customer. INSTEAD, please first accept the item, then we'll start the normal return procedure. Please e-mail us directly in case you decide not to have the item and we'll guide you through the process. 

WRONG ADDRESS 

If item(s) cannot be delivered due to customer's fault such as wrong address, the customer will not be entitled to refund. 

If the item(s) cannot be delivered due to wrong address entered by us during order fulfillment, the customer will not be entitled to refund. Instead the same item(s) in the order will be re-sent to the customer for free and Loretta Lace will issue a $40 store credit to the customer. 

ITEM LOST AFTER DELIVERY

Our responsibility ends where the ordered item reaches your mailbox or other safe location as indicated by tracking info. When tracking page shows 'delivered' the package is deemed to be officially delivered. The customer is required to search for the package after it is delivered. It is not our responsibility to help the customer find the package at their address. 

If the item is lost after being officially delivered, we are not required to give you a refund or or send you a new one for free.

ITEM LOST DURING SHIPMENT

In rare cases, items maybe lost during transfer from international carriers to local ones due to sorting errors or similar. As this is neither customer's nor our fault we will send you a new one of the same lost item in the order for free. However, the customer will not be entitled to refund.

CUSTOMS-IMPORT DUTIES & TAXES

Your order may be subject to VAT, import duties and/or taxes, which are levied once your package reaches your country. Any VAT, Customs-Import Duties and/or taxes are the responsibility of the buyer.

Loretta Lace ships your package DDU, “duties and taxes unpaid”, and does not collect the VAT, duties and/or taxes and cannot predict what your particular charges may be. If you do incur these additional charges, they must be rendered in order for your package to clear customs. By law, the package cannot be returned to us unless the client pays duties and taxes.

For more information regarding your country’s custom policies, please contact your local customs office.
