Why do you charge a refund fee?Updated a month ago
For full transparency, processing returns is an expensive process for a business and the cost of processing returns is not implemented into the price of our items. Costs included with processing a return are:
- Shipping costs returning the item back to us tracked.
- Our fulfilment center charges us for time spent manually checking, processing and steaming all returns then re-bagging and restocking them. This is charged per item.
- Cost of new packaging for return items including barcodes
- Our returns portal software has a monthly fee as well as charging for every single order that is processed.
- Payment transaction fees are not refunded to us when we refund an order, which can be up to 6% (Afterpay).
This very quickly adds up, hence why we charge a refund fee. Processing a refund costs us more than just the refund amount going to the customer.
We hope this provides some more clarity on our refunds process. If you have any other questions about our returns policy, please get in touch with us, we'd love to hear from you!
