RETURNS

We hope you love your purchase! However, should you need to make a return, you will have 14 days from your order date to do so.

For international Orders: We do not accept exchanges or returns for international orders. FedEx charges us (the account holder) based on the size of and weight of the return shipment, and as we cannot control what packaging the parcel is returned in, we often get billed 3 or 4 x the amount originally quoted, and therefore cannot guarantee a refund based off of the shipping costs.

For international orders: Only items below $100 have 'insurance' included by FedEx. 

For domestic returns please see details below (South Africa):

1. To request a return please click here. Log in using the email you used to place your order. Alternatively email hello@rethread.store.

If you are returning garments via courier or post office you must package it carefully so that it does not become damaged en route.

MADE-TO-ORDER GARMENTS

We accommodate made-to-order garments for certain upcycled pieces.

Due to the nature of upcycling, we are often limited by the supply of base pieces we receive. So we might not always be able to fullfill orders of certain sizes or colours. 

  • Please email alexa@rethread.store or send us a direct message on WhatsApp or social media to enquire about custom orders/made-to-order pieces
  • Payment confirms your order. 
  • We will not start with the order until we have received payment & approved measurements by the customer. 
  • Custom orders CANNOT be returned or exchanged. The sale is final. 
  • We are happy to make small alterations, free of charge if neccessary, but any additional shipping costs are on the customers account.
