At www.shopcurious.com we make every effort to ensure your purchase gets to you quickly, safely and in the most cost effective way possible. To this end, we have several delivery services available and, where possible, you can choose how you would like your order to be delivered. Please note, however, that the delivery of your order may be restricted to a particular service depending on the size, weight and chosen destination of the package. We endeavour to dispatch all orders within 24 hours however we do ask for your patience during busy periods.

Your order will be packed and dispatched, provided:

- The item you have chosen is in stock

- The delivery address has been verified

- Payment has been approved

We will send you an initial email confirming receipt of your order; then a further email confirming that your order is ready for dispatch along with your shipping reference number. Where an item is not in stock, we will advise you of the anticipated time for delivery (if such item will be available in future). Orders can be delivered to either business or residential addresses, however all packages will require a signature on receipt of delivery. It is customary for the dispatch companies we use to leave a notification card with their contact information if the delivery address is unattended at the time of delivery, however this may not always be the case. Shop Curious can not take responsibility if a notification card is not left in any instance.

Is my information secure?

Protecting your credit card and order information is important to us. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL) technology to protect your online order information as it is transmitted over the Internet. SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which means it is a highly sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our websites servers. Whilst SSL is of a high standard for internet security, it does not provide total protection against loss by unauthorised access or hacking. ShopCurious will not be liable in the event of any loss arising from any such unauthorised access or hacking.

Some versions of browsers and some firewalls do not permit communication through secure servers like the ones we use to process orders at ShopCurious. To check the security of your connection, look at the lower left-hand corner of your browser window after accessing the server. If you see an unbroken key or a closed lock (depending on your browser), then SSL is active. You can also double-check by looking at the URL line of your browser. When accessing a secure server, the first characters of the site address will change from "http" to "https."

If your browser or firewall does not support SSL, you will not be able to connect to the server, which means you wont be able to mistakenly place an order through an unsecured connection. If you cannot access the secure server for any reason, please call to place your order by phone at (UK) 020 8870 9930 or (outside UK) +44 208 870 9930.

Effective 1st May, 2008

We constantly strive to ensure that the products we bring to your door are of the highest quality. However if, for any reason, you wish to return your purchase, we will refund or exchange items that are sent back to us within 10 days - all we ask is that you return items in a saleable condition, unworn, with the original packaging and ShopCurious labelling intact. Although we are not able to refund P&P charges or returns postage, www.shopcurious.com will never charge to send an exchange item to you. Please note that we advise you to obtain proof of posting (free from your Post Office) as unfortunately we cannot be responsible for returns.

Exceptions
We are sure you understand that safety and hygiene considerations prohibit us from exchanging certain items within our range, such as earrings, undergarments, swimwear and lipsticks. This will be clearly stated within the product descriptions. Our vintage clothing, accessories and collectable products are not guaranteed to be as new and any marks or damage will be noted on labels attached to said items. These items can only be returned if defects are found other than those listed by ShopCurious. Customer service is of premier importance to us at www.shopcurious.com. Your confidence in us and the service we provide is our only priority. We believe our returns policy is extremely fair and open, however, there are some stipulations that we make in the interest of efficiency:

Returns
In the event of refunded return, we require that you return the new and unused goods to us with all the original labelling attached within 10 days (UK), 14 Days (International) of receiving the goods. New and unused means there are no marks on the item or wear on the tags and the item has been returned to us in its saleable condition. ShopCurious.com will not accept returns for any non-faulty items that have been worn, washed and/or tags removed. Upon receipt of an order, if any item has been received with no tags, customers should notify us (by phone or email) on the same day if they wish to return. We strongly advise all customers to check garments thoroughly upon delivery before removing any attached tags. For hygienic purposes, returns/exchanges on earrings, underwear, swimwear or lipsticks cannot be accepted. There is no return or exchange for sale items. Please note, ShopCurious.com cannot refund shipping and/or delivery charges whether they be within the UK or abroad. We ask that all International customers are aware that all international customs duties and sales taxes can not be refunded. All items purchased on the shopcurious.com web site must be returned to our head office at the responsibility of the sender. Shop Curious cannot be held responsible for items lost or delayed when being returned.

Exchange
In the event of an exchange, items are subject to product availability and the customer will incur any shipping costs for returning items to be exchanged. We can only exchange an item for a different size, style, and colour subject to our stock availability. All exchange enquiries can be made by contacting info@shopcurious.com with 'EXCHANGE' in your subject heading. Exchanged items can only be dispatched after the returned goods have been received.

How to proceed with your return or exchange

Securely wrap and package the item with a note detailing your request and send to our head office address. Please send your return or exchange to ShopCurious Ltd, 602 Milliners House, Eastfields Avenue, London SW18 1LP. We recommend that you send all items insured and/ or registered when sent through the mail as we cannot take responsibility for packages that we do not ship ourselves.

ShopCurious reserves the right to refuse a return or exchange for any item sent back in a condition where the item has been used or damaged. Only items which Shop Curious can confirm as new and unused will be eligible for a return or exchange – and that have reached our returns department within the time frame outlined above (unless otherwise organized). ShopCurious will not accept returns or exchange goods for any non-faulty items that have been worn, washed and/or with tags removed.
