SHIPPING CHARGES AND DELIVERY POLICY
PRINGBUD has partnered with world-leading logistics companies to provide you with cost-effective, quick, and flexible shipping.
Once we ship your order you will receive a tracking number for your shipment, allowing you to track your order from the moment it leaves our warehouse until the point it reaches your doorstep. You will also have an opportunity to re-schedule the delivery according to a time convenient for you if necessary.
Orders are shipped from our warehouse in China, Hangzhou.
You may receive an option from the courier company to deliver a package without you having to sign for it. We do not recommend this and please note that if you do give authorization to deliver a package without a signature, PRINGBUD is not responsible for the package if it goes missing.
AVOIDING RETURNS!
PRINGBUD wants you to be happy with your purchase and not have to return it. Most returns from online clothing stores are made because of sizing issues. PRINGBUD has therefore gone to extra lengths to make choosing the correct size an almost risk-free affair. We offer two charts to help customers choose the correct size: a body size chart and a garment measurements chart. These 2 charts can be found together on each product page in the tab called “Size Guide”, found underneath the “Add to Cart” icon. Use the body size chart to take the measurements of your own body and the garment measurements chart to see the measurements of the actual clothing itself, which you can then compare to any item of clothing you already own to see if it is similar or not. If you use both charts then you will be guaranteed the correct clothing size.
CUSTOMS CHARGES AND TAXES
Any customs charges and taxes charged by your government upon arrival of your order are paid for by the customer. Many countries do not levy customs and tax fees on shipments valued below a certain amount, and so your shipment may not be charged anything. However, each country has its own customs and taxations regulations and customers are advised to enquire about the regulations of their particular country. It should be easy to find the regulations of your country via a quick Google search.
The courier will ask you to pay any customs fees or taxes charged by your government when delivering your order to you. Please note that these are not charges that PRINGBUD makes and PRINGBUD is in no way responsible for paying them. Rather, these are customs and taxes charges levied by your government, and they make it incumbent upon couriers to collect the charges from the customers before submitting their packages to them.
SHIPPING AND RETURNS CHARGES
The initial shipping charges for sending the products to you are not refunded, except in cases where PRINGBUD is at fault for sending an incorrect product.
Both the initial shipping and any returns cost are highly subsidized rates. The actual cost that PRINGBUD pays the courier for each shipment is typically at least double the rate that we charge our customers. While we would love to offer completely free shipping or returns shipping, this would force us to increase our product prices to compensate for the extra cost.
Returns need to be sent back product, which PRINGBUD will arrange once you contact us about a return. Please see our RETURNS AND EXCHANGES page for further details.
TIMELY SHIPPING
You should receive your order within a maximum of 25 business days from the date of shipping your order from our warehouse.
The date of shipping is normally the next day after placing your order if your order only includes inventory items. Exceptions to this include orders placed on Friday - which are shipped after the weekend break - and orders that require any follow-up with customers prior to shipping.
An extra 25 working days are required to ship your order if your order includes any customization product and wholesale product of inventory items.
An extra time period is also required if your order is for Made-To-Order items. Made-To-Order items are those which we do not carry in inventory but only produce according to your order. The extra time it takes to produce these Made-To-Order items depends upon the current production capacity of our factory and we mention on the product pages what the expected timeframe will be.
If your order contains a mixture of Made-To-Order items and inventory items, we will send your order as one package once the Made-To-Order items are complete.
CANCELLATION OF ORDERS
If you want to cancel an order after just placing it and before it is shipped to you, then please contact us immediately. We process your order very quickly after it is placed, sometimes in just a few hours, and so the time frame is very short.
- If you cancel your order before it has been shipped, we will refund it and you will not be charged anything.
- If you cancel your order after it has been shipped, you will be charged for both the outward shipping and return fees.
- If you refuse the shipment after it is sent, or if the courier is unable to reach you and we are forced to retract the shipment, you will be charged for both the outward shipping and return fees.
