SHIPPING POLICY

As we work with limited editions and small productions, our margins are low.

Therefore, we will charge a shipping fee that is calculated in our website.

Due to sustainability concerns we prefer green mail post options, believing that slow is the new fast, not only in fashion, but also in transportation.

Mainland Portugal: all orders completed and paid until 12h between Monday and Thursday should arrive at your address in 1-3 days, except carrier delay. Other period orders delivered on the next business day. Islands 3-5 days delivery except carrier delay.

Other destinations: delivery until 5-7 days except carrier delay.

Outside Europe orders: email us info@vintageforacause.pt

We cannot be held responsible for strikes or any other sporadic logistics problems due to subcontrated companies, but we will always keep you informed as long as we are kept informed by them.

Import duties within the European Union will not be applicable. If you are ordering from outside the European union, import duty is not included in the prices you view in our online store. Depending on your customs authority and your country, you may have to pay import duties on receipt of your order or at a later date.

REFUND POLICY

We like to think you will enjoy our products. They have been designed, manufactured and delivered with love and care. But, obviously, there may be exceptions, where you need to be refunded, due to any problems with the item, or your change of mind.

Refunds of products with a quality problem have to be demanded within the legal time limit, but if you have just changed your mind and want to send the product back and be refunded, you have to send it within 14 days of the item being delivered to the address you indicated.

It’s also important that you notice that, as we collect and reuse unknow fabrics, we are not able to inform the garments composition and care and washing liable instructions rather than handwash. Therefore, any washing damaged are not our liability and cannot be eligible within our return policy.

To complete your return, please send us an e-mail to info@vintageforacause.pt and we will send you all the information you need to proceed with the return of the goods. We require a receipt or proof of purchase.
