Returns & exchanges
Thirty days to be certain, a clear process, and a refund to your original payment. If a piece isn't right, putting it right should be straightforward.
Our approach
Buy with confidence. If it isn't right, send it back.
A considered wardrobe is built slowly, and a piece sometimes needs to be seen at home before you are sure. Every order therefore comes with thirty days from delivery to decide — longer than the fourteen-day withdrawal period European law requires, and yours in addition to it.
There are no restocking fees and no fine print. Return postage for a change of mind is arranged and paid by you. If a piece arrives damaged, faulty or simply not what you ordered, we cover the return entirely.
Thirty days
Return an eligible piece within 30 days of delivery. Your statutory 14-day right of withdrawal is preserved in full alongside it.
You arrange the return
Send your return with a tracked service of your choosing and keep proof of postage. We do not currently issue prepaid return labels.
Refund to source
Refunded to your original payment method once your return reaches us — with no restocking fee.
How to return
Four steps, starting with an email.
Tell us within 30 days
Email customer.care@bonquere.com or use the Client Care form with your order number, the email address used for the order and the pieces you wish to return. No reason is required.
We confirm the address
We reply with the current return address and anything specific to your order. Please wait for that reply before sending anything back.
Pack the pieces
Refold the pieces with their tags attached into their original box or protective packaging, together with any accessories supplied.
Send tracked, keep proof
Send the parcel within 14 days of telling us, using a tracked service, and keep your proof of postage until the refund is complete.
Quote your order number and the pieces you wish to return.
Every return begins with the email above — there is no separate returns portal
Eligibility & condition
What can come back.
What we can accept
- Unworn — trying a piece on for fit is expected
- Unwashed, unaltered and free from perfume, cosmetics or marks
- With all original tags and labels still attached
- In its original box or protective packaging, with any accessories
- Sent within 14 days of telling us you wish to return
What we cannot accept
- Pieces made to your specifications or clearly personalised
- Sealed pieces unsuitable for return on hygiene grounds once the seal is broken
- Gift cards
Sale, promotional and discounted pieces carry exactly the same rights as full-price pieces. A reduced price does not shorten your return window, and it does not limit your rights if a piece turns out to be faulty.
You are welcome to inspect and try a piece as you would in a store. Where handling goes beyond that and demonstrably reduces the value of the piece, we may reduce the refund to reflect it — and we will always explain and evidence any deduction. Nothing on this page limits your rights under European or national consumer law, including the two-year legal guarantee of conformity that covers every piece we sell.
Exchanges
Return and reorder.
We do not operate a direct exchange service. The fastest and most certain way to obtain a different size, colour or piece is to order the replacement straight away and return the original under the process above.
We cannot reserve stock while a return is in transit, so ordering the replacement first is what secures it — particularly for pieces in short supply. The two are treated as separate orders, and the original is refunded in the normal way once it reaches us.
If you are uncertain about sizing, Client Care will gladly advise before you order.
Refunds
Back to where it came from.
Refunds are issued to the original payment method used for the order, and BONQUERÉ charges no refund-processing fee.
We issue the refund without undue delay and no later than 14 days after you tell us you are returning. We may wait until your return reaches us, or until you send us proof of postage — whichever happens first.
Once issued, how quickly the money appears depends on your bank, card issuer or payment provider, and is outside our control.
Orders paid with a gift card are refunded to a gift card or equivalent store credit. Where an order was paid with more than one method, the refund is allocated across them as the payment was.
Delivery charges. The original delivery charge is refunded up to the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option. If you chose Express delivery, the difference between Express and Standard is not refunded. Return postage you paid for a change of mind is not refunded — return postage on a damaged, faulty or incorrect piece is.
Damaged, missing or incorrect orders
If something arrives wrong, it's on us.
Please look over your order as soon as you reasonably can after it arrives. If a piece is damaged, faulty, materially different from its description, missing from the shipment or simply not what you ordered, contact Client Care promptly with your order number, a description of the problem and clear photographs where they would help.
Please do not send a damaged or incorrect piece back at your own expense before we reply. We will tell you exactly how to proceed, and we bear the return shipping cost in these cases.
Depending on the circumstances we will repair, replace, reduce the price or refund you, as the law provides. Every piece we sell carries a minimum two-year legal guarantee of conformity from the day you receive it.
Frequently asked
Returns questions, answered.
How long do I have to return an item?
Thirty days from the day your order is delivered. That is a voluntary BONQUERÉ window and sits above the statutory fourteen-day right of withdrawal that European consumers also have. Once you have told us you are returning, please send the parcel within fourteen days.
How do I start a return?
Email customer.care@bonquere.com or use the Client Care form, quoting your order number, the email address used for the order and the pieces concerned. There is no separate returns portal — every return begins with that message. You do not need to give a reason.
Are returns free?
Not for a change of mind. If you have changed your mind, ordered the wrong size or no longer want a piece, you arrange the return and pay the postage. If a piece arrived damaged, faulty or incorrect, we bear the reasonable return-shipping cost — contact us first and we will tell you how to proceed.
Where can I find a return label?
We do not currently issue prepaid return labels, so there is nothing to download. You choose your own carrier and service. Please use a tracked option and keep your proof of postage until the refund is complete — it is what protects you if a parcel goes astray.
Can I exchange an item?
Not directly. We do not operate an exchange service and we cannot reserve stock while a return is in transit. Order the replacement straight away to secure it, then return the original — it will be refunded in the normal way once it reaches us.
Which items cannot be returned?
Pieces made to your specifications or clearly personalised, sealed pieces that are unsuitable for return on hygiene grounds once the seal has been broken, and gift cards. An exclusion applies only where the law permits it and where the restriction was made clear before purchase. Ordinary clothing is never excluded simply because it has been tried on.
Must the tags still be attached?
Yes, please — tags and labels should still be attached, and the piece should come back in its original packaging with any accessories. Trying a piece on for fit is expected and does not affect this. Missing packaging does not automatically remove your statutory right of withdrawal, but we may reduce the refund to reflect any demonstrable loss in value.
Can sale items be returned?
Yes. Sale, promotional and discounted pieces carry exactly the same withdrawal and conformity rights as full-price pieces. The one exception is a piece discounted because of a specific fault that was clearly described and accepted at the time of purchase — you cannot then claim on that particular disclosed fault, though all your other rights remain.
Where do I send my return?
We will confirm the current return address when you contact us — returns are handled from our warehouse in the Czech Republic, not from our registered office. Please wait for that confirmation before sending anything, so your parcel reaches the right place.
When will I receive my refund?
We issue the refund without undue delay and no later than fourteen days after you tell us you are returning. We may wait until the goods reach us or until you provide proof of postage, whichever comes first. After we issue it, how quickly the money appears depends on your bank or payment provider.
Are the original shipping charges refunded?
Yes, up to the cost of our least expensive standard delivery option. If you chose Express delivery, we refund the standard amount rather than the express one — the upgrade itself is not refundable. Return postage you paid for a change of mind is not refunded.
How do I track my return?
Use the tracking reference from the carrier you chose — until the parcel reaches us, that is the authoritative record, which is why we ask you to send tracked. You are welcome to contact Client Care with your order number at any point and we will confirm where your return stands.
What if my item is damaged, faulty or incorrect?
Contact Client Care promptly with your order number, a description of the problem and photographs where they would help. Please do not return it at your own expense first. Depending on the circumstances we will repair, replace, reduce the price or refund you, and we bear the reasonable return-shipping cost. Every piece carries a minimum two-year legal guarantee of conformity.
Can I return something bought with a gift card?
Yes. The piece is returnable on the same terms as any other, but the refund is issued to a gift card or equivalent store credit rather than to cash. Where an order was paid partly by gift card and partly by another method, the refund is allocated across them as the original payment was.
Can I cancel an order before it ships?
Contact Client Care as soon as you can with your order number. Orders move into preparation quickly, so cancellation cannot be guaranteed once fulfilment has begun. If it has already been dispatched, your usual return rights apply once it arrives.
I refused the delivery, or never collected it. Is that a return?
Not on its own. Refusing or not collecting a parcel is not in itself a valid notice that you are withdrawing from the purchase, so please also email us clearly to say so. Where the law permits, reasonable direct costs caused by an unjustified refusal may be deducted — though never where the delivery failed through our error or the carrier's.
I am returning from outside the European Union. Anything different?
You are responsible for completing the customs documentation accurately and, where appropriate, marking the parcel as returned goods. We cannot cover import duties or taxes caused by incomplete or inaccurate return paperwork, unless the return results from our error. Any mandatory rights in your own country of residence still apply.
Who should I contact for help?
