The Lingerie Zone Return Policy

AUTHORIZATION FOR RETURN OR REPLACEMENT To obtain The Lingerie Zones authorization to return an item for credit or replacement, simply call or e-mail Customer Service within 30 days of purchase. The Customer Service phone number is (843)327-8440. If you notify us by e-mail, please let us know the reason you are making the return, and whether you would like a replacement or refund. Shipping costs are non-refundable for non-defective merchandise returns and a $5.00 restocking fee will be deducted from the refund amount. Items or orders returned without return authorization will not receive credit or replacement and will be shipped back to you at your expense. Most of our leather products can only be returned if defective or for an exchange not for a refund. For obvious reasons panties (ie: thongs, and g-strings) plus teddies by law cannot be returned.

CONDITIONS
Non-defective merchandise must meet the following conditions to qualify for return acceptance.
a. Merchandise must be in its original minimum inner pack quantity, as shipped by The Lingerie Zone. Broken quantity inner packs are not returnable.
b. Merchandise, merchandise packaging, and inner pack must bear no markings or be otherwise defaced or damaged.

Returns which do not meet the conditions described in this return policy will be returned and shipping cost of return will be charged.

ITEMS DAMAGED DURING SHIPMENT
All merchandise damaged during shipment is covered by the shipper. If you receive merchandise damaged during shipping, please contact our Customer Service department within 30 days of purchase, and your claim will be processed immediately. NOTE: Established procedures by UPS, U.S. Parcel Post, and FedEx, must be complied with or they may deny your claim.

Q: What procedure do I follow if I place a claim for a lost shipment and it arrives soon after?
A: Please notify The Lingerie Zone immediately so we can close our files without continuing unnecessary expenses for The Lingerie Zone and the carrier.

Q: My order has been lost. I need it now. Can't you just send a duplicate?
A: UPS, Parcel Post, and FedEx will not accept any responsibility for hardships caused by lost shipments. We regret that we cannot assist you in this manner. We suggest you place and pay for a duplicate order. When the carrier validates your claim, we will credit your account or send a refund check at your request.

WHAT IF I HAVE A CLAIM? The Lingerie Zone makes a supreme effort to see that your orders are shipped correctly and that they reach you safely. Every order shipped from The Lingerie Zone is double-checked for accuracy. If a customer places a claim for a shortage on an order, we take special care that it will not happen again. The customer's file is flagged. Each order placed by a flagged account must be double-checked by a supervisor before it is packed and shipped. The Lingerie Zone's quality control procedure is one of the most stringent in the industry.

The Lingerie Zone seeks the best value which takes into account price as well as quality. We believe we offer the best quality for the lowest possible price. However, quality is subjective and viewed differently by each person. What appears to be a flaw to one person may be viewed as a natural mark of beauty to another. From time to time, claims may also arise because spot-checking cannot assure that 100% of flawed merchandise is removed.

Despite all of these precautions, claims do arise. The Lingerie Zone's adjustment and return policy is truly very simple. We want to protect you and make you feel comfortable — and make certain you get what you pay for. We have established some requirements to make our policies and programs workable.

CLAIMS

Claims will fall under the following categories: (1) Lost order, (2) Damaged merchandise, (3) Shortage on order, (4) Defective merchandise, (5) Wrong item sent.

LOST ORDERS It doesn't happen often, but carriers such as UPS, FedEx and Parcel Post do lose orders. If you have placed an order and have not received it in a reasonable period, do the following:

Phone The Lingerie Zone's customer service department at (843)327-8440. Please have the following information ready:

Your name as it appears on the order invoice that was e-mailed to you upon placing your order.

The Lingerie Zone's order number for your order.

A copy of the e-mail order confirmation and date the order was placed.

Approximate dollar amount remitted and how the order was paid. Personal check? Charge card? Money order?

If a partial order was delivered and the packing slip is included in one of the delivered cartons, please have this packing slip available and a list of the missing items. Advise the customer service department of the number of cartons received.

The Lingerie Zone will check our computer to find the date your order was shipped and the carrier used. We will initiate a tracer with the carrier. Normally a response is received within 10 working days after the tracer is initiated. Most carriers require a 10-day waiting period before they will accept a tracer request. The U.S. Postal Service requires a 30-day waiting period from date of shipment before they will accept a tracer. (90 days outside continental U.S.) We will notify you when we receive the result of the tracer. Results of a tracer are generally one of the following: The Carrier is unable to prove delivery. Therefore, credit has been issued to your account, or we have reshipped your merchandise as you requested.

The Carrier will submit a photocopy of a delivery receipt which will be forwarded to you. It will show the order was delivered in full, and the signature of the person who received the order and the date it was delivered.
If, after receiving the photocopy, you find the signature is not yours, a neighbor's or a member of your family's, return the photocopy to The Lingerie Zone's customer service department together with a denial of signature letter. We'll then file a denial of signature claim with the carrier. This will require an additional 7 to 10 working days. We'll notify you of the results.
The Carrier may have returned the order to us for the following reasons:

UPS made three attempts at delivery to you and no one was home.
Your delivery address is a Post Office Box. UPS does not deliver to a Post Office Box. They notify you, but if no response is made within seven days, the package is returned to us.
You have moved and your order was sent to your former address. The package may have been retained by someone who signed for the package at your old address, or the shipment was returned to The Lingerie Zone.

DAMAGED MERCHANDISE Inspect each box for signs of damage such as crushed, torn, open, unseamed tape, etc. If you do find outward damage, sign the receipt with the words "Exception – Damage." For United Parcel Service deliveries, contact The Lingerie Zone's Customer Service Department and give the order number or the shipment involved. Explain the damage involved, number of cartons received and whether you desire a replacement or credit to your account. This information will prepare us for a claim report from the carrier.

Hidden Damage by carrier: If you should receive a shipment delivered by carrier that shows no visible damage, but upon inspection you discover damage due to evident rough handling, call us within 30 days of purchase and report the damage. We will issue credit or replacement at your request.

Shortages If you receive an order from The Lingerie Zone and find it has not been filled completely:

Check your packing slip. If the item was out of stock, it was not charged to you. If the item does not appear on your packing slip, be sure to advise the Customer Support Department representative when you call or write. Thoroughly check the cartons and packing. Small items may be under the packing material. Upon receipt, check the condition of the cartons. If there is a shortage due to tampering, a claim must be placed with the carrier. Follow the same procedure as if there is damage. If there is no tampering and an actual shortage exists, contact The Lingerie Zone's Customer Support department. We'll need to know the order number, number of cartons received, the missing item number, and whether you prefer credit or a replacement. We will investigate the shortage. When the item is confirmed as not shipped, it will be shipped or credit will be issued to your account, whichever you prefer. If reweighing your shipment or other checking procedures indicates all items were shipped, we will advise you.
