No, the return is not free of charge.
You bear the costs of the return.
However if it is our fault, in these cases (see our returns policy) we will of course bear the costs of the return for you

Dear customer,

First of all, there are certainly justified reasons for a return. And if it is our fault, in these cases (see our cancellation policy and the returns policy) we will of course bear the costs of the return for you.

We also regret if our delivery gives rise to a justified complaint and will endeavour to rectify any inconvenience caused as quickly as possible.

Apart from the justified reasons, we take a critical view of returns

WELL THAT'S WHY:
The big companies are leading the way and we also keep getting the below kind of feedback: User and some Cleints will say:

"Why do I have to pay for my own return shipping, that's not in keeping with the times these days!" or "200 KES shipping costs are just too much! Then I won't order anything in your Shop"

But is free shipping & returns really modern and up-to-date?

If you think about what happens behind a normal order in an online shop, you might come to the conclusion that this service FREE RETURN offer is rather outdated.
After all, so much happens when an order is placed: goods are moved from A to B, the order is packed with various packaging materials, CO2 is emitted to transport your order from A to B and, last but not least, people who work on site also have to get from their homes to their workplaces (further CO2 emissions).

So does free shipping/return shipping really do our environment any good? Shouldn't we be prioritising completely different things by now?

FREE SHIPPING & FREE RETURN SHIPPING tell us:

  • "If I don't like it, I'll just send it back!"
  • "I only need the stickers for now, I'll order the rest bit by bit, it's free!"

And so we order (without giving it much thought) goods that we might not actually like, or we place lots of small orders instead of thinking in advance about what we really need!

We think so: Everyone should think about it in the checkout and make a conscious decision as to whether they want to spend the shipping costs on their favourite products. For orders over €70, we will cover the shipping costs for you within Germany. Thank you for reading our statement, understanding it and, contrary to general opinion, not having a problem with shipping costs.

Order Process - Question

Buying Online is part of normal life these days

And of course you have to be careful because there are so many fake shops. There are even agencies and so-called "trsuted shop" seals that are supposed to give you the feeling of security.

At Styles By Alimma we are convinced that we don't need any of these "trsuted seals" for our shop.
Why?
Because:

  • We have founded a company Styles By Alimma that runs alimmas.com, our online Shop.
