RETURNS POLICY

To be eligible for a refund, your item(s) must be returned to us in the same condition as you received them (unused, unworn, unwashed with the tags still intact) within 28 days of the receipt of your order for a refund. If this timeframe is exceeded, unfortunately, we will not be able to accept your return. If you try to make a return after 28 days your order will be sent back to the delivery address from your original order.
If you think you have received a faulty item, please scroll down to 'RETURNING FAULTY ITEMS'

* Please note Beauty items, Underwear, Bodysuits, Swimwear, and Earrings cannot be returned due to hygiene reasons. We cannot accept returns for matching fabric belts that have been washed. 

If you do return one of these items the cost of having this item sent back will be deducted from the rest of your return. If you don't return any other items in your order we will invoice you the postage, if this is not paid your item will not be refunded and we will destroy your item. 



Processing Returns:

We aim to process your return and refund you within 14 days of having received the returned item. All returns will be refunded by way of the original payment method, and items will be refunded at the price they were purchased for.

* This can take up to 21 working days during busier periods such as sales, Bank Holidays and Christmas.

We cannot issue a refund until we have received your item, so we recommend using dlsb.returns.international for tracked delivery services. We are not responsible for any items that are returned to us by mistake. We also cannot refund you for items that are not ours, or DLSB items that have been returned to another retailer.

Please be advised that postage costs are non-refundable. You will not receive a refund for your original shipping costs as this pays for the couriers to collect your parcel and deliver this to you.

If you have a query regarding returns, please be advised that our returns team are working as fast as they can to process all returns that have arrived back with us! Please track your return to see when this has arrived back at our warehouse. If you have tracked your return and it has been received by us please rest assured it will be processed within 7-14 working days and you will receive an email as soon as it is completed.

Sadly we do not offer exchanges at this time:

We are a small family run business and at the moment don't have the facilities to offer exchanges. This is something we are looking to improve on as we grow and expand! We would therefore advise returning your unwanted items for a refund, and placing a new order for the required items.


HOW TO RETURN

To return your order we recommend using our DLSB returns portal dlsb.returns.international. Please ensure to include your invoice or a note with your order details within the return and that the return address is clear and cannot be confused with any other address (please cross out any previous addresses that could still be on the packaging).

We’re so sorry if you’ve received a faulty item!

Our warehouse team works hard to ensure all of our products are thoroughly checked when packaging them up before they are sent to you, however some faults can unfortunately escape discovery. On the rare occasion that you receive a faulted item, incorrect item, or an item of the wrong size please contact us as soon as you can prior to sending back the item so we can resolve - do this via email to: sales@dlsb.co.uk. Please attach images of the faulted item to any emails sent to us along with your order number. We aim to respond to this within 2 working days.

We reserve the right not to refund the item if we have not been informed of any faults prior to receiving the item back to us. DLSB also reserves the right to refuse to refund a faulted item if we suspect foul play or tampering.

Please do not contact the email address or mobile phone number attached to our PayPal account as they are for PayPal use only and any emails/text messages sent to these will not be responded to.

RETURNING FAULTY ITEMS

Please note: you must inform us of the item fault prior to sending a faulted item back otherwise we cannot refund!

When returning faulty items, you must have informed us prior so that we can instruct you on how to return. This will ideally be done through our DLSB returns portal where you can select your preferred courier (UK only, please see above return instructions). We do not cover postage costs for items sent back via Special Delivery/Saturday Delivery etc as they are costlier and not needed when we offer alternative services stated above. All refunds are offered at the discretion of DLSB once inspected. DLSB reserves the right to refuse the refund of any item we suspect has been damaged, washed, worn or used.
I WANT TO CANCEL/CHANGE MY ORDER 
Unfortunately we are unable to cancel/modify your order once it has progressed to an advanced preparation status.  Please return any items you no longer wish to keep via our returns method.
