We offer no shipping and no returns - all for free ;-) - because we’re not actually selling anything… But what about actual shipping and returns?

 

 

free shipping

 

It is incredibly convenient (and let’s be honest, fun) to look at clothes online, choose a pair of jeans and have them delivered directly to us, and receive them within a few days or even a few hours.  

We may think that we are getting free shipping, however, it is anything but. The environment is paying the true cost: with the rise of online shopping, we are contributing to climate change and harming those around us with air pollution and traffic congestion.

free returns

​

Around 15 to 40 percent of online purchases are returned. We’ve all shopped online, received the item and decided it wasn’t the right fit. It’s unworn and in perfect condition. The company will just list it and it will find a new home in no time. Right? 

 

Not quite… many companies just don’t have the technology and ability to handle all the subtleties of returned goods (especially when it comes to clothing), so it is generally most profitable for them to sell them cheaply to discounters, who end up shipping, driving and flying the items around the globe, or even worse, trucking them to the dump.

A study estimates that 5 billion pounds of waste is generated through returns each year. 

 

Perhaps something to consider before making that impulse buy online.
