Shipping & Returns
Got a question about how we ship, return or handle your orders? You’ve come to the right place!
Shipping
SilkFred is an online marketplace and we partner with the most exciting independent brands to bring you stand-out-from-the-crowd fashion. Some of your styles may be shipped to you from the SilkFred warehouse and others sent directly from the brands that made them. You may receive separate shipping confirmations if parts of your order are coming from different locations.
We and our brand partners offer a range of shipping options including Royal Mail 24 hours and DPD next-day delivery. Please check the product page for more information. All options available will be shown at checkout.
Here’s how it works
Once you’ve placed an order you will receive an order notification letting you know we have received your order.
When your order has been shipped, you’ll receive a notification confirming your item is on its way to you.
Please note that shipping rates and delivery times vary from brand to brand. If you are ordering a pre-order product, please see the product page for estimated shipping date.
To create a return follow the steps below and if you need any help contact [email protected] or chat with one of our team using Message Us.
Log into your SilkFred account. Go to ‘My Orders’ and click ‘View’. Select ‘Return’ & follow the steps to create a returns label.
You can download and print your label(s) directly from your SilkFred account, or download them up from the confirmation email we send you.
Pack up the items you wish to return into the packages they arrived in and attach the corresponding returns label. Remember SilkFred is a platform for independent brands. If you’re returning to multiple brands please be sure to use the correct label for each.
Send your returns via the requested service. Make sure to keep your postage receipt.
SilkFred is platform for independent brands and your order may contain items that were shipped to you directly from the brand. This means that in order to receive your refund, you need to ensure that the item makes it back to the correct address.
What’s your returns policy?
- We hope you’ll love your new items, but if you’re not fully happy, you need to let us know within 14 days of receiving the items, beginning the day after your order is received.
- We recommend that you request a return for each item, as and when you receive them, rather than waiting for your entire order to be delivered.
- Once that’s done, you have another 14 days to physically return the order to us. We recommend you use a tracked service and keep your postage receipt until your refund has cleared.
- All items must be returned, unused, unworn and in their original, undamaged packaging with tags attached.
- When trying on clothing please check that you’re not wearing any deodorant, makeup, tan or perfume that may leave a mark or scent.
- Don’t forget that swimwear should be tried on over underwear and that the protective hygiene strip should be left intact if you wish to return.
- Please try shoes on indoors taking care not to mark the soles. Shoes must be returned in their original, unmarked shoebox.
- Any items that are received back which are not in a resalable condition will be returned to you.
- Refunds are processed within 10 business days of receipt and you will receive confirmation of your refund via email.
- Please note that refunds can only be issued back to your original payment method or issued as a store credit to spend on SilkFred.
- A postage contribution per return parcel will be deducted from your refund depending on your chosen return courier: Royal Mail, Tracked 48 Hour £2.99 / Evri £1.99
- If you, or the brand you have purchased from are based outside of the UK, shipping will not be subsidised and you may need to return at your own cost.
- If you need any help shout us at [email protected].
Which items are non-refundable?
- Any item that isn’t notified to us within the returns period. If you want to return something, you must tell us within 14 days of receiving the items (beginning the day after your order is received). You have another 14 days to return the goods once you’ve told us.
- Returns received in damaged or worn condition. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the items while in your possession. If you fail to comply with this obligation, we and/or the brand have a right to deduct the cost of any deterioration (due, for example, to your having used the items) up to the price of the items from the refund to which you are otherwise entitled.
