Purchases from our online boutique

The products, process and promotional offers (if any) made in the online boutique only apply to orders placed online.

Returns – Exchanges & Refunds (for full policy please refer to “Returns – Exchanges & Refunds” )

Our ‘Change Of Mind’ Policy
We do not support customers purchasing and returning products due to ‘change of mind’.  We do however, understand that online shopping can be tricky sometimes and so we offer a 24 hr return policy.  All our parcels are sent with a tracking number and so we have record of when items are delivered.  If you receive your order and it’s not quite what you’re after, you need to contact us within 24hrs of receiving it and we will notify you on how to proceed.  Shipping needs to be within 24hrs of approval with a tracking number provided as proof of delivery lodgement.  Once goods are received and provided they are still in complete original packaging and undamaged, you will receive your refund but it will incur a 2.5% restocking fee.

We maintain a high level of customer service and like to provide guidance to customers as to differentiating products and the benefits of one product over another upon request.  A customer however, is left to make their own decision on following through on any purchase with Glam Couture and it is their same decision to accept all store policies including ‘change of mind’ and ‘no return of exempt items’ that are on this list below.  It is the responsibility of the customer to be aware of conditions of sale.

Items NOT eligible for return for refund, store exchange or store credit are:
Earrings:
For hygiene reasons, any type of earrings including ‘clip earrings’ or ‘post back earrings’ cannot be accepted for a refund, exchange or credit note.  We don’t do this for selfish gain but for customer confidence.  We hope you can appreciate this exception to the rule, as we do not re-sell used or returned earrings.
The only instance where Glam Couture will replace earrings is if they are reported to be damaged or faulty.
Any faulty pin back or clip earrings that are returned for replacement, will NOT be returned to stock for resale.

Necklace & Earring Sets:
For the same reasons as earrings, necklace sets will not be accepted for any type of return as they are bought as a complete set and can not be re-sold due to hygiene reasons for earrings being worn.

To Further Explain:
We need to guarantee to our brides and customers that our pieces are all new when they purchase them and thus have not been worn by another person.  It is not fair for us to on sell products that while look OK have potentially been damaged in some way that may endanger the longevity of the product.

Special Orders & Customised Orders:
Due to the nature of customised products, Glam Couture will not accept refunds, exchanges or store credits.  These items are handcrafted or hand assembled and made to order.  Glam Couture will make your item/s upon order confirmation and receipt of payment.

Restocking Fee:
A 2.5% restocking fee for each item returned will be deducted from your value of your store credit available.
