Why doesn't Corset Story offer Phone Support?

Due to the International nature of our brand we have found that we can offer a much better service via email. Most inquiries require us to do a little digging to ensure we get the right information back to you first time; this may involve speaking to other departments, calling couriers or checking garments in the warehouse.

It can be quite frustrating for customers to wait on hold while we do these things. It is much more effective to send your concern to us via email and we will get back to you the second we have done everything required our end.

By registering, will I automatically receive marketing emails from you?

No, we will only send marketing emails to you if you opt in on the welcome email or you have placed an order with Corset Story.

Do you guarantee delivery times?

We work very hard to ensure that all orders are shipped out as quickly as possible and have worked with nearly all of the main Global couriers at one stage or another. We select the couriers we work with mainly on their success rate of delivery orders within the stated timelines. Global Logistics is a complicated business and occasionally there are unforeseen delays. These instances are rare and we work closely with the couriers to resolve these issue but unfortunately we can not guarantee delivery times

The address on my order is incorrect

Please email customer services as soon as possible. As time is of the essence please include your full and correct delivery address so that we can resolve the problem for you first time

Will I be liable for any customs charges

All orders are shipped from the UK.

There is no import dutyfor orders being shipped to UK or EU addresses.

Here is the Import Duty information for some of our common international destinations:

  • US orders under $800 are duty free
  • NZ orders under $400 are duty free
  • CA orders have will have GST added to the total on the checkout. We cover the cost of documentation, handling and duty so there is nothing more to pay when your order arrives.
  • AU orders are duty free

If you are not ordering from one of the countries mentioned there maybe duty to pay on your order. Corset Story have customers in nearly every country in the world. Unfortunately we can not know the exact amount of import tax your order may attract if your shipping address is outside the UK, US, CA, the EU, AU or NZ.

What is your returns policy?

If you are not 100% satisfied with your purchase we can arrange a refund or exchange completely FREE OF CHARGE.

To qualify simply notify us within 14 days of receipt of goods by setting up an "Online Return" through your Corset Story account by clicking on the "Returns" option at the bottom of any page on our website.

Please ensure that goods are returned with tags and in the same condition they were received. Provided you have set up your "Online Return" you then have 3 months to return garments to us.

I wish to return an item but I am outside of the Returns Window

Please contact customer Services, we can speak with a manager and see if we can arrange a store credit or exchange for you……no promises though

How long will it take for my payment to be returned to me?

We will process refunds as soon as we have received orders back in our warehouse or a valid tracking number or "Proof of Postage" receipt from you. The easiest way to do this is to upload this info to your Corset Story account in your "Online Returns" manager. Please allow 3-5 working days once we have processed your refund for your bank to clear the refund into your account

Can you reserve the item I wish to exchange to?

I am afraid we can not reserve designs you wish to exchange to, however if you can return your item using a Tracked or Recorded delivery service or even provided us with a "Proof of Postage" receipt which you can send to us we can dispatch your requested exchange immediately

I have received an incorrect or faulty item

Apologies, please contact Customer Services . Please do not set up an "Online Return" in this situation, we need to know about the problem and can resolve the issue much faster if you email directly

I would like to exchange my items for more expensive items

This is fine, set up your "Online Return" as normal through your Corset Story account. When we process the return we will add the value of your returns to your Corset Story account in the form of Store Credit. Once complete we will notify you by email and you will be able to place a new order online for your desired item, our fully secure checkout will only charge you the difference between your return and the new items you are purchasing.

My order did not go through but I think you have charged me?

If a payment has been deducted from your account and you have not received a confirmation email of your order, please first check your “Spam” folder of your email account.

I have received an additional charge on my card after placing my order, what is this charge?

If you are purchasing from outside the UK your bank may charge additional fees for international payment. This charge is at the discretion of the bank and is out of our control. These charges are most commonly incurred when using a credit card.
