Refund Policy

We do understand that not everything always works out when shopping online. We are prepared to assist you if you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase.

Our refund policy is valid for 10 days from the day the item was purchased. Within this time frame, please send an email to store@carnivalista.com stating your order number and full name used to place the order. You will then be provided with the relevant information to start the exchange process.

If submit the form outside of the refund policy window (10 days) we will not acknowledge your response and you will not be entitled to any refund or exchange.

RETURN REQUIRMENTS:

1. Sale items are not eligible for exchange/return.
2. Items must be unused and in a packaged condition (as sold) to be eligible for a return (including all paperwork, packaging, accessories) with tags attached.
3. Worn items, washed items or tried on items are not eligible for return/refund. (We are experts in our hosiery! So we will know!)
4. If you want to match items to your skintone without trying on, use the top of the stocking (by the waistband) and stretchy over your knee. DO NOT put your full leg inside the stocking! We can easily identify tried on stockings so do not risk losing out on a refund for trying on an item you cannot use!

RETURNED TO SENDER PACKAGES

If your package is returned to our warehouse due to an insufficient address or failure to collect from delivery office within the required time, we will process the package and notify you. In most cases an automatic refund in store credit will be applied. Processing can take up to 30 days. Please note, the original shipping cost will NOT be refunded.

COMPLICATIONS WITH THE SHIPPING PROCESS

We will ONLY assist with shipping issues when the shipping method selected was 1) tracked or 2) tracked and signed. Unfortunately we cannot and will not follow up on any orders that were sent 1^st class with no tracking. For any shipping issues, we recommend you contact your local postal service within the first instance.

Carnivalista will use USPS or FedEx as their main carrier for domestic and international shipments. Once a package is shipped to the address provided by the customer, the package is the responsibility of the carrier.

Carnivalista does not hold or accept responsibility for packages that have been reported as delivered by the carrier. If you suspect your item is likely to be lost or stolen, we recommend you use the tracked and signed option to ensure receipt of your purchase. We do not issue refunds or credits for packages that the carrier confirms as being delivered. If however you have not received your packaged or believe it to be lost or stolen, please raise a claim with the carrier.
