Ordering

Once your order is placed, the warehouse begins to process it right away to ensure it reaches you in good time.

If you have forgotten to purchase an item, you will need to place a second order. Please note that we cannot combine orders.

Payment

Payment can be made by Visa Debit, Visa, Mastercard, Amex, Apple Pay and Google Pay.

All prices are inclusive of VAT at the current rates and are correct at the time of entering the information onto the system. The total cost of the order is the price of the products ordered plus the delivery charge.

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to or does not, for any reason, authorise payment to us, we will not be liable for any delay or non-delivery.

The payment charge is made at the point the order is dispatched.

Tracking

All orders are tracked and require a signature upon arrival. If nobody is home to sign, your order will be returned to the carrier's local depot and instructions will be left regarding redelivery.

An email will be sent to you once your order has been dispatched. On this email, we will include the DPD/DHL tracking number, this can be entered into https://www.dpd.co.uk or http://www.dhl.co.uk to monitor its progress. Please note tracking information can take up to 24 hours to update.

How do I place an order?

Select your desired product and add it to the shopping cart, click on the cart icon (top right-hand corner of the homepage) to view the items ordered, click ‘proceed to checkout’, and follow the instructions.

How do I know if my order was successful?

You should receive the order confirmation right away after placing your order with us. Please check your SPAM folder since the confirmation email might be mistaken as junk mail and end up in there.

If you haven't received anything within 24h, please contact our customer service team and provide us with your name and email address associated with the order so we could look into this for you.

How long will my order take to arrive?

We aim to dispatch all orders within two business days, but this can take longer during busy periods. Once dispatched, delivery time varies depending on the country or region you are in.

Payment


What currency will I be charged in?

Please note, we only charge for orders in GBP.

Are my personal details and payment information safe?

All contact information is stored safely and we do not pass any details on to third parties.

Will I have to pay taxes or import duties?

If your order is being delivered outside of the UK, there might be import duties and taxes to applied when the goods arrive in your destination country. These charges need to be paid to the carrier for delivery to occur and are the customer's responsibility.
We have no control over these charges and can't predict their amount. For further information please contact your local customs office before placing your order.

My bank is showing two charges for my order

Although it may appear as if you have been charged twice, we can assure you that we have only taken payment once. If you pay for your goods with a credit or debit card, your bank statement may display both a “pre-authorization” amount and the “final sale” amount. Your bank will reserve or allocate the funds as unavailable until Albam clears the transaction and processes your order (thus debiting the funds from your account). The pre-authorization reserve/allocated amount and final charge cannot be combined in one transaction, which is why it appears as if you have been charged twice. The actual balance will not be deducted until Albam processes your order and the banking system transfers the funds.

What is a 'foreign transaction fee' and will I have to pay it?

A 'foreign transaction fee' is an administration or handling fee that is charged by some credit card companies when a foreign purchase is made. All online transactions are processed at our european offices, which is why customers outside the e.u. may be charged a foreign transaction fee by their credit card company (usually up to 2.75% of the purchase amount). If you wish to avoid the charge then we advise contacting your credit card company to ask about their policy regarding foreign transaction fees before making your purchase.

 

Shipping


I won't be in to sign for my parcel; can you leave it outside my property?

All orders must be signed for upon delivery and we cannot leave parcels in a designated area. If you are unable to wait in for your order you can pick it up from your nearest collection office depending on the courier company we use to ship your goods.

Where's my order?

We aim to dispatch orders within two business days, but this can take a little longer during busy periods. As soon as your order has shipped, we will send out an email with your tracking number and shipping information so that you can keep an eye on your parcel and get an estimated delivery date.

I bought an item before the sale started, can you refund the difference?

Prices shown on the website are final and we are unable to offer subsequent price adjustments on items bought before a sale or further reductions in price.

Returns & exchanges


There's a problem with the item(s) I ordered.

If you did not receive all the items ordered, or if there is a problem with any of your goods then please contact us here and we will get things resolved as quickly as possible.

Can I exchange my items for another size/colour/style?

We only offer size exchanges on the same product. Where available, replacement items will be dispatched within 28 days. If your chosen replacement size is not in stock, you will automatically be refunded and notified by email. For alternative items, please place a new order on our website.

How will I receive my refund?

You will be refunded via your original method of payment e.g. credit/debit card. Once your refund has been issued it usually takes 2 – 3 business days for the funds to clear. You will be refunded the full amount minus the original shipping fee. If you have any further questions or if your refund hasn't appeared, then please contact us here.

When will I receive my refund?

Once a parcel has been received at our warehouse it can take up to 7 working days to process the return before your refund can be issued.

I bought my Albam item from one of your stockists; can i return it directly to you?

If you have bought an Albam item from one of our stockists (either online or in store) then your contract of sale is with them. If you wish to return your Albam goods or if they are damaged/defective then they must be returned to the original place of purchase. We cannot accept returns at albamclothing.com for items bought via our stockists.

Can I return a sale item for a refund?

The usual 28-day returns policy applies to all items bought during the sale.

Can I return any item?

I'm outside the return period, can I still make a return?

We are unable to accept returns which have been returned outside our policy.

The item I bought is now on sale, can I get the difference refunded?

We are unable to refund the difference. If your item is unworn and complete with original packaging and tags we suggest placing a new order and return the previous order for a refund.

I've purchased outside of Europe, will my duties be refunded to me if I return an item?

As we are not involved in calculating or collecting any taxes or duties related to the import of your order, we are unable to advise on the process for these to be reimbursed. We advise checking with your local customs office before placing your order.
