Groovy Triangle String Bikini

WE PRACTICE "SLOW FASHION" :

Which is quality-based rather than time-based to reduce Mass Production and Wastage. Because most of our products are handmade for you, they require 7-10 business days before they are shipped. This production time frame allows us to produce your item/s and quality inspect them to ensure that you receive nothing but our best! Please note this production time isn't included in the shipping/ delivery time frame of your order and is completely separate.

Colors might be slightly different due to lighting

Cancellations and Modifications

Please choose attentively. Unfortunately, we are unable to accept cancellations or modifications to your order once placed. Once you receive your order confirmation, we almost immediately pay our manufacturers and request production of your handmade items.

Once we have paid our manufacturers to proceed with your order, they don’t allow for cancellations or modifications (except for correcting shipping address errors) and therefore neither can we. In our effort to reduce waiting times for our valued customers, we process everything almost immediately, so if you make an error with your order, we kindly you to reach out to us as soon as possible. It could be that we haven’t processed our payment towards our manufacturers and are in time to adjust your order.

However, we're realistic, and we understand that sometimes inadvertently mistakes happen. If you receive an item that you believe is damaged and/or defective, please contact us immediately via our contact us page or via email at customerservice@projects817.com. with photo proof of the damage and/or issue so that we can provide you with a resolution you'll be happy with.

Once we have confirmed that the item is indeed damaged or defective, we’ll happily arrange the shipment of a replacement at no additional cost to you. 

* This policy only applies strictly to the actually product purchased and received damaged. Damaged packaging, including boxes, is not covered by this policy as boxes are considered packaging and we aren't responsible for package damage caused by couriers during transit. 

** Items that are damaged by the customer, such as by not following care instructions, won't be accepted for returns.

*** Defective/damaged/flawed item/s bought from the Clearance collection aren't eligible for returns or exchanges. These products are sold "as is" , with details of their defective clearly stated in the product listing.

Shipping Delays

Current world issues have had a serious impact on international air shipments and deliveries; therefore, we can’t guarantee shipping timeframes for your order. Please understand that shipping delays are beyond of our control, and we’re unable to speed up delayed deliveries and kindly ask for your patience. 

No refunds will be provided for items that haven’t been received due to delayed shipments, or packages in transit. If, however, investigations reveal that your items were lost in transit, you will be provided with a complimentary replacement.

Fraudulent Chargebacks / Cyber Shoplifting

We sincerely love to make our customers happy, and always do everything we can to ensure they are satisfied with their Projects817 purchases. That said, we are aware of a troubling new trend of fraudulent chargebacks towards innocent businesses from customers who are either dishonest people trying to get items for free, or impatient customers who are blaming sellers for delayed shipping times that are beyond the sellers' control. 

Fraudulent chargebacks are extremely harmful to small businesses and negatively affect the hardworking families behind those businesses. It is on the same level as shoplifting, only more often than not the seller's insurance will not cover these losses so the impact on the business can be devastating.

Although we wish we didn't have to address this problem, due to the rise in inappropriate chargebacks affecting small businesses we need to be clear, delayed shipping is not a valid reason to file a chargeback, and any chargebacks made for this, or any other inappropriate motive will be considered fraudulent and fought with evidence and you will no longer have the possibility to make future purchases with our store. If necessary and appropriate, a police report will be filed against any customer involved in making fraudulent claims.

If you have a genuine issue, please reach out to us before considering filing a chargeback as we have always, and will always, go out of our way to ensure that our customers are satisfied.

Exceptions / Non-Returnable Items
We apologize, however, we can’t accept returns on gift cards, used items, clearance items or exchanged items.

Discount codes must be utilized at the moment you place your order. Unfortunately, we're unable to provide partial refunds in cases where customers have forgotten to use or have discovered a discount code after paying full price.
