DID YOU KNOW?
Each piece of jewelry you see on our website is truly one-of-a-kind, crafted by skilled artisans with time, patience, and dedication. We take pride in offering handmade treasures that carry the essence of craftsmanship and artistry.
We offer easy returns for items in new, unworn, unaltered, unwashed condition within 7 calendar days of the delivery date of your order. You will have the following options for your return:
A) Return your product(s) for store credit. Receive the full cost of the product(s) as store credit for future use minus pre-paid return shipping label fee.
B) Return your products(s) for a refund to payment method minus a 10% processing fee and pre-paid return shipping label fee.
International Returns:
International returns are processed in the same way as domestic returns but please note that all return shipping fees are the responsibility of the buyer. We are not able to provide a prepaid return shipping label as our carrier is the USPS and is not available outside of the United States.
STORE CREDIT & REFUNDS
Once we receive and process your return (please allow 4-6 business days), we will issue you your store credit / refund.
Store credit never expires and is connected to your Adored Vintage customer account.
- If you make multiple returns, your store credit will always be applied to your account and act as a "store credit bank."
- If you have available store credit in your account, it will automatically apply to your shopping cart but you can choose to not use it at checkout if you want to "save up" your store credit.
- Unfortunately, you cannot use your store credit code and a promotional discount code at the same time. This is a Shopify platform policy that we do not have a work around for.
Refunds will be issued to the original payment method(s) used at checkout.
- Please note that if you used a combination of payment methods (e.g. credit card and store credit) the refund will be issued to each method respectively.
RETURN FEES
Returns are subject to a 10% processing fee for any of the following criteria:
- Refund to Payment Method
- Used store credit as payment & returning for store credit
- Postmarked past 7 days after return label was issued
This fee helps our small business recover some of the fees that we incur when processing returns.
FINAL SALE
Products purchased during a storewide sale, noted as final sale in the product description, or purchased in our Sale section or As-Is Charity Sale are all considered Final Sale and are not eligible for a return.
Items That Cannot Be Returned:
All accessories (bags, belts, jewelry, socks, etc - the exception is shoes), intimates (garments in our "Intimates" department such as bralettes, robes, sleepwear, etc), bodysuits, leotards, apothecary, sundries, and consumable items that expire cannot be returned.
Shoes are returnable for store credit only. Please be mindful of trying on shoes in a carpeted area. Shoes returned showing signs of wear will incur a 50% restock fee.
Gift Cards:
Gift cards cannot be cancelled or refunded.
ORDER CANCELLATION
We do not accept order cancellations so please shop responsibly. In certain special cases (if accidentally purchased the wrong size) we can swap out a size for you or color if you notify us before your order is fulfilled and if we have stock on hand.
DEFECTIVE ITEMS
We carefully inspect each product before we sell it in our shop to ensure quality. In the off chance you receive a damaged/defective item, we ask you provide photos in our return portal.
Normal wear and tear is considered "damage" and not defective, including but not limited to trying on garments that are too small therefore damaging/straining garment seams, stains from makeup, and torn seams/rips from trying on will not be accepted as they cannot be resold. Our garments go through a rigorous inspection when we receive them from our vendors (we check every single piece for flaws!)
Items that are sent back to us in damaged condition or have clearly been worn are subject to a minimum 50% restock fee and will be at our sole discretion.
UNAPPROVED RETURNS
If you attempt to return additional items not included in your return request using the issued shipping label, there is a high possibility your package will get rejected by USPS and rerouted back to you. There is also a possibility our company will be charged the additional fees for the weight difference.
If the package is rerouted to you, we can no longer accept your return and the sale is considered final. If charges were incurred due to additional items being returned that were not approved, customer will be charged the additional postage fees. Unapproved return items will be subject to a minimum 50% restocking fee and only issued as store credit.
Adored Vintage (AV for short) is an online retail shop selling new/modern clothing and accessories for women.
Our products are thoughtfully sourced and curated for romantic women who love the nostalgia of the past. We love the idea of less is more and we strive to offer timeless quality products at attainable and approachable price points.
On occasion we still sell one of a kind vintage clothing and vintage accessories. Our shop name is Adored Vintage because we started out selling only vintage and antique clothing and wares.
As a retail shop, we source our products from small independent brands from all around the world. Most of the brands we carry are based out of the USA and a few select brands are based out of Montreal, Paris, and Madrid. Most of the clothing we carry in our retail shop that are made outside of the USA are made in China, India, Mexico, Vietnam, and on occasion Italy, Spain, and Portugal. These items will be noted as "Imported" in the product listing. We ask all of our vendors about their manufacturing and production practices and will not work with a brand if we feel that their business ethics do not align with ours.
*Please be mindful and thoughtful about biases you may have based on the country of origin of a garment. As a company whose current employees are primarily people who identify as AAPI, we just ask that your enquiries and comments on garments made in Asia are kind and sensitive.
ORDER FULFILLMENT
We try our very best to ship out your order within 3-4 business days (not including weekends and holidays). Please allow additional time for transit.
Shipping rates are calculated at checkout and are based on weight.
We ship all your orders via USPS. Orders are shipped in the order they are received throughout the work week. If part of your order contains an item that is back-ordered, we may ship items separately. You will be notified via email if we do this to get prior approval.
Delivery times may be affected by weather and other events outside of our control. Once a parcel leaves our office and is scanned by USPS, we no longer have any control of the whereabouts of the package.
You can track your orders via the tracking number provided when your order is fulfilled when you login to your account.
LOST / MISSING / STOLEN PACKAGES
If your package’s tracking number indicates that your order was delivered but you are unable to locate your parcel, please be sure to check around your property/lobby/mailroom and reach out to neighbors in case someone has accepted the package on your behalf or it was misdelivered.
We advise waiting 1-2 business days to see if the package is redelivered by the carrier. If your package has still not been located or redelivered after 2 business days, please notify your local post office directly in order to file a claim. You can file a claim at the post office by providing your tracking information or by submitting a Missing Mail Search Request online.
If you need assistance filing the claim, please email us at service@adoredvintage.com.
FREE SHIPPING
We offer Free Shipping on orders $100+ for delivery to addresses in the USA. Free Shipping will only be available if your final cart total at checkout is over $100. If you use store credit or a discount code and your cart total is no longer $100+, you will not qualify for Free Shipping.
All orders shipping outside of the USA are shipped via USPS. Tracking is available though sometimes limited for select forms of shipment. In most cases parcels are tracked once it leaves the US borders and then tracked again when it enters your country for inspections.
IMPORT TAXES & VAT
Adored Vintage is not responsible for incurred VAT or Import Taxes for overseas and international deliveries that are imposed by recipients' country and border patrol. Adored Vintage does not charge for VAT or Import Taxes and we have no control over this.
