We do not offer returns for change of mind on FINAL SALE items. 

This policy is in accordance with Australian consumer law. 

I've lost my return form

Please email our customer care team for a new form on contact@mombasarose.com.au.

I ordered during a promotion and want an exchange

Unfortunately we do not offer exchanges on purcahses ordered during a promotion. All eligible items are issued with online credit notes so please refer to the terms & conditions of the specific promotion.

This can be found in our customer care menu.

We can’t backdate promotional offers if a promotion has expired, however you will be able to use your credit note during new promotions and sales.

Please note, if you are issued with a credit note it will be for the value you have paid for your item/s.

What if my item is faulty?

Whilst we inspect each item that we send out to our customers to maintain a high level of quality in our products, should you receive an item with a manufacturing fault, we will happily replace or repair the garment.

Please note, in instances where we are unable to provide a repair or replacement you will always be refunded by the original method of payment used. If your purchase from our online store was made with a credit note or gift voucher then you will be refunded a credit note or gift voucher.

I've received the wrong item

Whilst it's rare that our team sends out the incorrect product, human errors do sometimes occur and we are truly sorry for any inconvenience.

Please send our customer care team an email with a photo of the incorrect item you were sent and your order number so that we can have this corrected for you.

Our email address is contact@mombasarose.com.au and our office operates Monday to Friday from 9.30am to 4.30pm AEST (excluding public holidays).

I'm having technical issues with the website/checkout

We recommend first clearing your cache, refreshing your browser, and starting again. If this doesn't help, try a different browser or device. If your problem still persists please take a screenshot of the error message and email our team so that we can have our IT experts offer their advice. Our email address is contact@mombasarose.com.au.

My return has been processed for the incorrect amount?

All returns are processed for credit to the total amount paid for the item/s after any discount codes or promotions were applied to the order.

We do not offer credit or refunds on shipping so this won't be included in your total value. Still not adding up?

Send us an email with your order number so that we can look into this further for you -contact@mombasarose.com.au.

How do I care for my garment?

All of our products will note their basic care instructions within their listings and also on their care label (located in the inner seam of the garment).

Most of our designs are produced in natural fibre fabrics so it is safest to wash them by hand in cold water and line dry in the shade. We advise against soaking, machine washing or tumble drying.

Please reach out to our team if you cannot find the instructions for your garment and we can email you detailed care instructions. Our email address is contact@mombasarose.com.au.

How do I care for my jewellery?

Some of our fine jewellery is precious and delicate so we strongly recommend reaching out to our team for care instructions if you are not familiar with the specific jewellery or stone type. Our email address is contact@mombasarose.com.au.

The colour of the item is different to the colour on the website?

Whilst our team has gone to great lengths to display the colours of our garments as close as possible and all photos are taken outdoors in natural light, every screen will display colours differently so the actual shade of the product may vary from your screen.

Please note, a dislike of colour does not qualify you for a refund, however you are welcome to return full price stock for a credit note.

Why is my normal size a different fit?

Many of our garments are designed to be worn soft and loose as we want our customers to feel comfortable and relaxed in our designs. 

We also produce our designs in a range of different fit types.

Each individual style will have its specific fit type noted in the ‘Fit Details’ of its listing information.

We definitely recommend referring to this and also our size guides when choosing your style and size.

Please also feel free to reach out to our team with your measurements for sizing assistance.

Pricing

In the event that an item is incorrectly priced due to human error on our behalf, we will endeavour to rectify this as quickly as possible in any online advertising.

Unfortunately, if an item is priced incorrectly we are not able to provide the item at that price for any unshipped order. We will refund the customer as soon as we are made aware of the problem. 

Can I visit your warehouse?

We are not currently able to offer visits or a click & collect service as our warehouse is not open to the public.

However, if you would like assistance with processing a return or you need sizing advice, our friendly customer care team can be reached Monday – Friday, 9.30am-4.30pm AEST (excluding public holidays) via phone, email and social media.

Do you have physical stores?

Unfortunately, we no longer have any physical stores.

However, should you like to get some personalised fit or styling advice please feel free to call our customer care team on 0475 505 922 Monday-Friday 9:30am - 4:30pm AEST (excluding public holidays).

Alternatively send us an email at contact@mombasarose.com.au.

What are Final Sale items?

Final Sale items are styles which have been reduced to clear.

These items will have a discounted price and their listings will contain a 'Final Sale' note regarding the terms & conditions of sale.

We are not able to offer exchange, credit or return for change of mind, dislike or incorrect size choice on these items so please be sure to thoroughly read their listing information.

Final Sale does not refer to full price items which have been purchased during a promotional sale or with a discount code applied.

I paid with AfterPay and have processed a return

In accordance with our returns policy, eligible items for return are issued with an online credit note (not a refund).

This policy is the same for all payment methods (so it is important to continue making your contracted repayments to avoid late fees).

Your remaining repayments will continue to be deducted at the contracted intervals until you have completely repaid your credit provider.

How long will it take to process my return?

Please allow up to 7 business days from delivery of the return for us to complete its processing.

Your credit note will be emailed to you in the form of a gift voucher once we have processed your return.

Condition of returned goods:

- Item must be returned within 21 days (28 days for international orders)
- Any items returned after 21 days (28 days on international orders) will not be accepted.
- If an item was purchased using a discount code you will only be refunded the amount paid for the garment.
- We do not offer refunds for change of mind. 
- The item must be returned in brand new condition (unless deemed to be faulty)

Please note that all fault claims are assessed on a case by case basis and at the discretion of Mombasa Rose Boutique.
