FAQ - There's a Damaged/Defective Item in my Order
If you’ve received a damaged item, likely defective item, or the wrong item was sent to you in error, please email us within two weeks of the delivery date to let us know about the issue, along with some photos, and we’ll take care of it right away. You don’t need to fill out the Return Authorization Form in these instances. Just contact us for instructions at orders@sock-dreams.com!
FAQ - I Received Wrong/Missing Item
We do our best to check for accuracy before passing orders along to our shipping department. If you find that we’ve missed an item in your order or sent you the wrong item, please reach out to Customer Service (orders@sock-dreams.com) and we’ll gladly ship the item to you ASAP or give you store credit towards another item.
FAQ - Do You Offer Free Shipping on Returns?
We are unable to provide free shipping for returns.
Return shipping fees are the responsibility of the customer/recipient.
If you are provided with a tracking number from your desired shipping service, we
recommend sending a photo of that our way via email. If the return shipment is lost and
does not reach us, we will still honor your return.
Additionally, we are unable to provide reimbursement for return shipping fees.
FAQ - I Received an Item as a Gift, but I Want to Return it, Can I Get it Exchanged?
At this time, we do not offer exchanges. You will be eligible for store credit only that can be used on an item you would like. Please fill out Return Authorization Form and you will be given store credit once the return has been received and processed.
FAQ - Where can I find the item SKU?
Your SKU can be found in two spots:
- In your order confirmation email, and
- On the front of the physical invoice included with your order.
If locating the SKU is proving tricky, you can write the name, color and/or size for each item being returned instead.
FAQ - Can I Return Tights I ordered?
Yes, you can! To receive a refund, the tights must be returned unopened. If they are opened, removed from their packaging, they can only be returned for store credit.
BUT please don’t let that stop you from trying on the tights you order. If you are concerned about the sizing because the packaging is saying something different from what we say, please reach out us so we can answer any concerns!
FAQ - How Long Does it Take to Process my Return?
On average it will take about 2-4 weeks once your package has been received by us. During the holiday season, the busiest time of year for us (October through January), it can take 4-6 weeks. We know it’s a long waiting period, but a future goal for us is to cut down this time. We
thank you for your patience.
FAQ - Can I get a Refund on Shipping or Import Fees?
We are not able to refund shipping or import fees on orders that we have shipped. If you have paid import fees but your order was returned to sender, you may be able to contact your country's customs authority to file for a refund, but we are not able to issue a refund on our end.
FAQ - Oops, I Ordered the Wrong Size / Color, Can I Exchange it?
At this time, we are unable to offer exchanges. You can return items and receive store credit to be used on your next purchase.
If you have any questions about returns – or anything else – please send us an email orders@sock-dreams.com and we’ll be happy to help!
