At Lolod, we pride ourselves on quality and customer satisfaction. Every item undergoes a strict quality control inspection before shipping. However, if you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, we have established the following policy to assist you.
1. Returns and Exchanges Eligibility
To qualify for a return or exchange, items must be:
-
Unused, unworn, and unwashed.
-
In the original condition and packaging as received.
Exclusions: Due to hygiene, manufacturing standards, and production costs, the following are exempt from returns/exchanges unless a factory defect is present:
-
Accessories, intimate apparel, beauty, and hair products.
-
Sale items and Custom-made orders.
-
Please ensure you are certain of your purchase before finalizing, as custom goods incur significant production costs and cannot be returned for a “change of mind.”
2. Timeframes
-
General Returns (ECT Act): In accordance with the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act, you have a right to return items for any reason within 7 days of receipt, provided they are unused and in original condition.
-
Exchanges: Valid for up to 15 days from the date of delivery.
-
Defect-Based Refunds: Must be reported within 3 days of receipt.
3. Exchange & Refund Specifics
-
Exchanges: Can be made for a different size or color, subject to availability. If the desired item is out of stock, a store credit voucher will be issued.
-
Faulty Items: Cash refunds are only offered if the item has a verified factory fault and an exchange is not possible.
-
Transaction Fees: If a cash refund is approved, the customer will be responsible for associated transaction costs, including bank fees and payment gateway fees (e.g., PayFast/Shopify).
4. Return Procedure
If you need to return an item, please follow these steps:
-
Email Us: Contact info@lolod.co.za with your proof of purchase and clear photos/videos of any defects.
-
Review: We will assess your request. Please note that ordering the wrong size is not a factory defect, though we will facilitate an exchange if stock allows.
-
Documentation: When shipping your parcel, you must include your Full Name, Contact Number, and Reason for Return.
-
Approval: Once approved, we will provide a return form and shipping instructions.
5. Shipping and Logistics
-
Courier Method: All returns must be sent via a door-to-door courier service. We do not accept returns sent via post office collection points.
-
Costs: Customers are responsible for all return shipping costs. These fees are non-refundable. If a refund is issued, the original return shipping cost will be deducted from your total.
-
Tracking: We strongly recommend using a trackable service or insurance for items over R800. We cannot guarantee receipt of your return without proof of delivery.
6. Order Discrepancies
-
Sizing Errors: A sizing error is valid only if there is a discrepancy of 10cm (3.9 inches) or more compared to our published size chart. In such cases, we will cover the return and replacement costs.
-
Missing Items: Inspect your package immediately. If items are missing, contact us with photos of the box, shipping label, and SKU numbers. We will replace missing items free of charge.
