Returns & exchanges

  • Returns and Exchanges
    • If you are a customer based in the EU, you have the right to cancel your order with us under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (DSRs).

      Alternatively, you may prefer to return or exchange items using our free returns and exchanges collection service.

  • Cancelling your order
    • If you are based in the EU under the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000 (DSRs), you have the right to cancel your order with us, provided you give us written notice within seven working days of receipt.

      1. You must notify customer care in writing of your wish to cancel the contract for your entire order under the DSRs within seven working days of receiving your items. Either email customercare@net-a-porter.com or write to us at: Notice of Contract Cancellation, Customer Care Department, NET-A-PORTER DC1, Unit 3, Charlton Gate Business Park, Anchor and Hope Lane, London SE7 7RU.
      2. On receipt of your notice of contract cancellation, customer care will email you a Returns Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Please complete this on the returns pro forma invoice that you received with your order, and include it with your return so we can process your refund promptly.
      3. We recommend that you insure the return shipment as you are under a duty to take reasonable care of the goods and will be liable for damage to them until we receive them at our warehouse. We also recommend that you use a secure, trackable means to return your order to us at NET-A-PORTER DC1, Unit 3, Charlton Gate Business Park, Anchor and Hope Lane, London SE7 7RU, and that you retain proof of sending, in case of a dispute.
      4. Please note that you must cover the cost of the return shipment, as our free collection service does not apply to orders cancelled under the Distance Selling Regulations.
      5. All items must be returned unused, in their original condition and from the country that the order was delivered to.
      6. We will refund the full value of your order, including shipping costs, within 30 days of receiving your notice of contract cancellation. If we do not receive the cancelled order, we will arrange to have it collected from you at your cost.

      Please note you may only use your right to cancel the order under the DSRs if you give us formal written notice of cancellation within seven working days of receiving the order, as described above.

  • How to return or exchange
    • Making a return or exchange is easy. Just make sure you request a Returns Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number within 14 days of receiving your order.

      RECEIVING YOUR RMA

      1. Sign into your account and under My Orders, select the order number containing the items you would like to return.
      2. Click on the CREATE A RETURN/EXCHANGE button and choose the reason why you want to send your item(s) back. If an item is faulty, please provide details why.
      3. If you'd like to exchange an item because the fit isn't right, choose the replacement size.
      4. To request a refund, select how you would like to be credited. This needs to match the original payment method used. Please note, store credit is valid for one year from issue date.
      5. Check the box to agree with our Return Policy. You will then receive an email containing your RMA number which is valid for the next 14 days within which you can send your unwanted item(s) back to us.
  • EXCHANGES
    • There is no charge to exchange items for a different size, however all exchanges are based on stock availability. Shipping is also free on the replacement item, but if you are based outside the EU you will need to pay taxes and duties on this.

      Simply request a Returns Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number through your NET-A-PORTER account within 14 days of receiving your order, and then specify the new size you require. For exchanges outside the EU, you will be prompted to tick a box on the 'REVIEW & CONFIRM' page. You will see a breakdown of cost and this authorizes NET-A-PORTER to deduct the total taxes and duties from the original card used to place your order.

      Please note that we are only able to offer size exchanges. If you wish to exchange your item for an alternative style, we suggest that you return it for a store credit and purchase the new piece separately.

  • Arranging a free collection
    • Once you have received your RMA number, simply send back your item(s) within the next 14 days using our free collection service.

      1. Book a free collection with DHL, by calling +44 (0)844 248 0844 or visiting www.dhl.com and selecting your country to find the telephone number of your nearest DHL. NET-A-PORTER Premier customers will be contacted within 48 hours to arrange a collection.
      2. Sign the returns pro forma invoice that you received with your order (and fill in the DHL air waybill if applicable). Please leave your package open until the driver has checked the contents.
      3. You will be notified by email once your return has been received and processed.

      We recommend that items are returned from the same country to which they were delivered. This ensures that your return is covered by our free returns policy and reaches us promptly. Orders sent back from a different destination may incur additional charges or be delayed by customs.

      For more information, please contact customer care.

  • Receiving a refund
    • Your refund will either be credited to the original purchaser's credit card or NET-A-PORTER account and will include shipping costs for faulty items or for orders cancelled under the DSRs only. Shipping costs will not be refunded for items returned using our free collection service.

      If your order has been sent to a destination within the EU, all sales taxes will be refunded. Outside the EU, customs duties and sales taxes are non-refundable through NET-A-PORTER. However, you may be able to recover these by contacting your local customs bureau directly. As this may not be available for all countries, we recommend that you hire a customs broker if you wish to claim back duties on returned merchandise.

      Please note card refunds may take up to 10 business days for your bank to complete, depending on their processing time. This can vary greatly between card issuers, and unfortunately we are unable to influence this.

  • Gift returns
    • If you have received an item as a gift, you may exchange it for a store credit to your NET-A-PORTER account (you will need to register your details). The amount is automatically deducted from your next purchase and will be valid for one year. Please be aware that you may need to pay any cost difference, additional shipping, taxes and import duties.

      To arrange a return, please email customercare@net-a-porter.com

      Note, corporate gifts may only be returned by the original purchaser and within 14 working days of initial receipt.

  • Late returns
    • An RMA number should be requested within 14 days of receiving your order. You should then return your item(s) within 14 days of receiving this number.

      Returns outside these timeframes may be accepted at the discretion of NET-A-PORTER and may only be refunded as a store credit.

  • Our policy
    • Items should be returned new, unused, and with all NET-A-PORTER and designer garment tags still attached. Returns that are damaged, soiled or altered may not be accepted and may be sent back to the customer.

      Where provided, belts and any designer packaging such as authenticity cards, dust bags and leather tags should be included with your return.

      Please email customercare@net-a-porter.com if any of your purchases have been delivered without NET-A-PORTER tags.

      All items returned should have a Return Merchandise Authorization (RMA) number. Unidentified returns may be returned to the sender.

      Shoes

      All shoes must be tried on a carpeted surface until you are certain you are keeping them. Shoes should be returned unmarked and in their original, undamaged shoe box as this is considered part of the product. Shoes that are returned without a box, in a damaged box or with marked soles may not be accepted, and may be sent back to the customer.

      Lingerie & Swimwear

      Briefs, swimming costumes and bikini bottoms should be tried on over underwear, without removing the protective adhesive strip. Returns may not be accepted if this strip has been removed or if items are soiled, and may be sent back to the customer.

      Faulty goods

      Goods are classified as faulty if they are received damaged, or where a manufacturing fault occurs within six months of purchase. Please note that items that are damaged as a result of wear and tear are not considered to be faulty.

      Where possible, we will offer to repair faulty items. If you would like to exchange your item, please be aware that we can only replace it for the same product in the same size, subject to availability. You will receive a full refund if the item cannot be repaired or replaced.

      For all faulty items outside of our Returns Policy, please contact customercare@net-a-porter.com

      Colors

      We have made every effort to display as accurately as possible the colors of our products that appear on NET-A-PORTER. However, as computer monitors vary, we cannot guarantee that your monitor's display of any color will be completely accurate.

  • Important information
      • All items are quality controlled and checked for any faults before they are dispatched to customers. Should you receive an item that is not in perfect condition please contact us immediately.
      • Please send all items you wish to return from an order in the same shipment to ensure your return is processed as quickly as possible.
      • Items should be returned in their original packaging to ensure they are adequately protected in transit. Shoe boxes should also be protected as they are considered part of the product, and your return may not be accepted if the box is damaged.
      • Free collection does not apply to items returned from a different country to the original shipping destination or to orders cancelled under the DSRs.
      • We prefer that items are returned to us via DHL or our NET-A-PORTER Premier service to ensure that they are protected and insured during transit. However, you may return the goods by any secure means. Our address for all returns is NET-A-PORTER DC1, Unit 3, Charlton Gate Business Park, Anchor and Hope lane, London SE7 7RU and we request that you contact us at customercare@net-a-porter.com in relation to such returns. Please note that we may not accept liability for goods that are not returned via DHL or our NET-A-PORTER Premier service.
