Return & Refund Policy

Shopping for dresses online should always be straightforward, transparent, and completely worry-free. At Drapinovella, we believe in building honest relationships with every customer across Australia. To give you peace of mind, our store operates exclusively on a Cash on Delivery (COD) payment framework. You only pay for your items at your doorstep when the parcel arrives, eliminating upfront online payment risks and establishing real trust.

Below, you will find full details on how our return and refund framework operates if a dress does not meet your expectations.

30-Day Return Window

We understand that trying on dresses at home is an essential part of online shopping. If you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you have a 30-day return window starting from the exact date your parcel is delivered to your address.

To remain eligible for a return, your request must fall within this 30-day timeframe, and the items should remain in their original condition, unworn, unwashed, and with all original product tags attached.

Accepted Reasons for Return

We accept return requests under three specific circumstances:

  • Damaged Items: If your garment arrives with fabric tears, broken zips, or material defects.
  • Incorrect Product Delivered: If you receive a style, colour, or size different from what you ordered.
  • Fit Issues: If the dress does not fit you properly upon trying it on.

Zero Fee Returns and Doorstep Pickup

Returning a garment to Drapinovella is completely free of charge. We do not charge any return postage, pickup fees, or restocking penalties.

Once your return request is submitted and accepted by our team, we organize a convenient parcel pickup directly from your address. We coordinate the collection schedule around your availability to ensure a smooth, hassle-free process.

Inspection Process Upon Receipt

When your returned package arrives back at our Roseville location, our quality team evaluates the garment.

  • Inspection Timeline: It takes exactly 1 working day for our team to review the returned item once it reaches our facility.
  • Outcome Notice: After the evaluation is complete, we contact you via email to let you know if the return has been accepted.

Options Available: Exchange or Complete Refund

If your return is accepted, you can choose between two resolution pathways:

  • Exchange: If you prefer a different size or replacement dress, we dispatch the new item to you immediately, provided the required item is currently in stock.
  • Complete Refund: If an exchange is not possible or if you prefer to receive your funds back, we issue a full refund equal to the original payment amount.

Bank Transfer Refund Process for Cash on Delivery

Because all purchases at Drapinovella are paid via Cash on Delivery, we do not hold electronic payment card records. Therefore, refunds are processed strictly via direct Australian bank transfer.

  • Providing Details: Once your refund is accepted, our support team will reach out via email requesting your Australian BSB and bank account number. Please ensure that all banking details provided are accurate to prevent administrative delays.
  • Processing Time: After we receive your correct bank account details, we process the transfer within 1 business day.
  • Bank Reflection Window: Depending on your banking institution's internal transfer schedules, the refunded amount typically takes 7 to 8 business days to reflect in your bank account balance.

Data Protection and Compliance

We collect and handle your personal details, home collection address, and banking information in strict accordance with Australian regulations, including the Privacy Act 1988 and the Australian Privacy Principles. Your banking information is requested solely for the purpose of transferring your accepted refund and is stored under strict privacy controls. We never share or misuse your personal information.

Our policies comply fully with Australian Consumer Law standards to protect your shopper rights every step of the way.
