Returns

I have received the wrong item

We're sorry to hear about the issue with your order and want to resolve it as quickly as possible. Please get in touch with us here with a photo of the item received in error along with your order details. Our Customer Service team will be more than happy to help.

My item has arrived damaged or faulty

We’re extremely sorry to hear about the issue with your item. Every product is carefully inspected before shipping, so we apologise that this one slipped through. Please get in touch with us here by sending us your order details and a photo of the damaged item (with the Bo&Tee tag visible). We'll resolve this for you right away!

My item has become damaged after wear

We’re sorry to hear your item has become damaged after wear. We pride ourselves on the quality of our items and truly believe they should last a lifetime and not just one wear or wash! Please get in touch here with your order details and an image of the damage. We’ll be in touch with a solution as quickly as possible.

An item is missing from my package

This is very concerning, as all packages are thoroughly checked before dispatch. However, we weigh each parcel prior to shipping, so we can quickly resolve this for you. Please reach out to us here with your order details. In your message, please also confirm if the package appeared tampered with. Our team will investigate the issue and get it sorted for you promptly.

Can I cancel or change my order after I have placed it?

You're now able to edit or cancel your order within 15 minutes of placing it.  You can do this on the order confirmation page on our website. Please note, if any payment is required (e.g. shipping upgrade, adding products) you'll be taken to our checkout where you can use all our available payment methods. This must be paid within the 15 minute window.

Why was my order cancelled?

We’re sorry to hear your order has been cancelled. If you have received a cancellation email from us, this will be because the item has either been found to be out of stock when we came to pick your order or, our payment provider has declined to accept your payment method. You’ll receive a cancellation email from us with more details regarding this and your refund will be in your account within the next 72 hours/7 working days (this time frame is dictated by your bank and isn’t something we can speed up unfortunately!).

What size should I order?

We always want our items to fit our customers perfectly, so we provide a size guide and sizing information next to all items on our website. All our items generally fit true to (UK) size but if we know a product’s material creates a tighter fit, we’ll recommend sizing up in the product description box alongside the item.

When will you be restocking?

Our items are super popular and can sell out quickly but don’t be disheartened as we restock different items 2/3 times a week and our newest items are generally restocked within 2-week periods. We can’t provide exact restock dates but if there’s a particular item you’re waiting on, please send over the product name and size to one of our contact platforms and we’ll be in touch with the time frame this is due to be restocked in. You can also sign up for restock notifications when an item is fully out of stock. You can do this by entering your email address under the “subscribe to back in stock notifications” header and we’ll then let you know when this item has been restocked so you can be one of the first to get your hands on it! We’d also recommend checking back on our website regularly as we restock returns daily! We also love to tease, and you may see some unreleased items on our Instagram pages from time to time… When this happens, the items will generally be online within the next 1-2 weeks. Be sure to keep an eye on our New In section for all our latest drops!

Can I buy your items off other websites?

All our items are designed in house by our design team and manufactured in our own factories. It’s worth noting that we do not offer wholesale so any websites other than Amazon using our images, will not be dispatching our items. We’d never want our customers to be deceived by another online retailer so if you want Bo&Tee designs and quality, we recommend only ordering from our website directly or our Amazon store.

Where is my order?

Once you have completed your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email with your order details. Our team will then be working extremely quickly to get this order picked and packed and sent out to you. Once this has been dispatched, you’ll receive an email notifying you of this with a tracking link included. Your tracking will continue to update as your parcel makes its way to you so please be patient!

You can also track your order on our website within the account section.

Can I order to a PO Box?

Unfortunately, we do not deliver to PO Boxes or hotel addresses.

Can I change my delivery address after placing my order?

You're now able to edit your order within 15 minutes of placing it. You can do this on the order confirmation page on our website. You're able to change any part of your address or enter a new address entirely. If you change the country, you may need to also change your shipping method and pay the difference if this is more expensive. If this is the case, you'll be taken to our checkout where you can use all our available payment methods.

How do I track my order?

Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive an email with a link to the courier website. Here, you’ll be able to track your delivery whilst it is in transit and out for delivery. Please note, it may take up to 24 hours for your tracking information to update. You can also track your order on our website within the account section.

Why is my order late?

We work hard to ensure that orders are dispatched quickly so it’s truly disappointing to hear your order has not been received on time. Please note, we do state online that all delivery time frames are estimates / in working days except for UK next day delivery so we cannot guarantee your order will be delivered on the estimated delivery date shown at checkout if you select any other delivery method. If a delivery has been attempted and not received, you can re-arrange delivery with the courier directly. If your order was dispatched with next day delivery and hasn’t been received on time, please get in touch with us here and we’ll investigate this delay with the courier directly.

Where is my order being dispatched from?

All orders are shipped from our warehouse in the United Kingdom.

Will I be charged customs and import duties?

If you are purchasing to a country in the EU:

Due to Brexit, if you purchase from any UK retailer, you may now be charged tax and duty fees. This is generally 12% of the total cost, if your purchase is more than 150 euro, and it's free if your purchase is less than 150 euro. Good news - at Bo&Tee we have arranged with our international mail providers to cover these fees on behalf of our customers, so you will not see any unexpected charges upon delivery. If for any reason you do, feel free to get in touch below and we will reimburse you.

If you are purchasing to a country outside of the EU:

Bo&Tee parcels are shipped from the UK and you may therefore be charged tax and duty fees when the parcel arrives in your country. These charges vary depending on your location and must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. Whether you incur these additional fees will depend on the total cost of your order and the threshold differs per country.

If your parcel does incur customs taxes or duty it's entirely up to you (as the receiver) to cover these costs. Unfortunately, as these charges differ from country to country we are unable to directly advise you on what these might be. We recommend contacting your local customs office prior to ordering so you're not surprised by any unexpected delivery charges.

By law, all items must be declared at their full price and we cannot alter the amount to decrease any custom fees.

In the unlikely event that you wish to refuse your delivery, you may still be held responsible for the original customs fees or import duties and the cost of returning the package to Oh Polly. We regret that we can only refund you the value of your order minus any fees we are charged upon return for your item. If a delivery is refused by you then, unfortunately, we cannot be held liable for any loss or damage incurred by your order during transit back to us.

US CUSTOMERS

Please note, on some higher value orders you may be contacted by our courier partners to request the completion of a customs form. This will be sent from an official email address of the courier.

Brexit Update

Due to Brexit, if you live in the EU and order from a UK retailer, your order may be subject to tax and duty fees. We have arranged with our international mail providers to cover these fees on behalf of our customers, so you will not see any unexpected charges upon delivery.

What time can I expect my delivery?

Our couriers do their best to deliver your parcels to fit around your lifestyle. You will generally receive your order before 10pm on the expected day of delivery. If you're in UK, you can select pre-12 delivery if you wish.

Can my order be left in a safe place?

Orders that are dispatched with standard delivery can be left in a safe place or with a neighbour without the customers consent. If you have paid for a delivery service (UK only) this parcel cannot be left in a safe place without the customers consent and you would therefore need to contact the courier directly to request this. Unfortunately, we cannot make this request on our customers behalf.

Unlimited Next Day Delivery

Premium Delivery is only eligible for deliveries to the UK. It costs £9.99 per year for Unlimited Priority Delivery for UK customers. You will pay a one-off sum of £9.99 for the year and this will not automatically renew. Once the year has ended, you will need to re-purchase Premium Delivery for £9.99 to receive another year of Unlimited Priority Delivery. You must be signed in to your Bo&Tee account to purchase Premium Delivery and for it to apply to future orders once purchased. You will not have access to this if you check out as a guest on the website. Premium Delivery will only appear on your account once your first order, with the £9.99 shipping fee, has been dispatched. The Premium Unlimited Priority Delivery cut-off time is 10pm GMT/BST Monday – Friday and 2.30pm GMT/BST Saturday – Sunday, so any orders placed after this time will be dispatched the following day. If you have purchased Premium Delivery, this option will appear at checkout for free. You will need to select this delivery method for it to apply. It will not automatically apply at checkout.

I have been charged incorrectly

Our system can only take the amount that is confirmed by yourself at checkout so please ensure you have checked out in the correct currency.

We also select members of the public spreading positive messages about important issues and/or championing the brand.

How do I enter your competitions?

To receive your prize you must DM us with your full name and address. If you have not heard back from us within 24 hours contact us here as your response may have been missed.

If you are not able to claim your prize for whatever reason then you may substitute it for a gift voucher of equivalent value up to a maximum value of £100.

How do you select winners?

Winners who do not respond to us to claim their prize will forfeit the prize after a period of 72 hours. We will then select a new winner.

Can I promote Bo&Tee on my social media?

We receive hundreds of requests a day from people wishing to promote Bo&Tee. Unfortunately, we are not able to personally respond to each of these requests.

We operate a fixed collaboration budget month to month which means we only take on a small number of new up-and-coming influencers.

If you wish to be considered for our collaboration program, please tag @boandtee in any images you post wearing Bo&Tee. We regularly scout Instagram posts with @boandtee tags for new talent.

Can I model for Bo&Tee?

We work with a small number of professional models, most of whom are signed with model and influencer agencies or have an existing relationship with us.

We do occasionally scout for new talent on social media. You can tag images with @boandtee to increase your chance of being scouted.

We select models on the basis of day rate, availability, location and level of experience.

90% of our shoots are conducted in Los Angeles and so we will generally only consider models living or currently based within the California region.

Unfortunately, due to the large volume of requests we receive, we are unable to personally contact you unless you have been successfully scouted.

If we suspect fraudulent activity, we may block your account and any associated accounts and/or withhold your refund. Reasons include but are not limited to claims relating to; orders not being received, missing items, damaged items, wrong items, worn items.

If your account is blocked for any of the above reasons and you need to make a valid return within 30 days for UK / 45 days international of purchase, please contact Customer Service. You will need to cover return costs and keep hold of proof of postage until your return is received and processed.
