Returns

RETURNS

As a small, ethically oriented, environmentally concerned independent business, we cannot offer free returns as the big companies like ASOS, Topshop, Topman, River Island, etc, etc, often do. 

A shocking amount of fast fashion is bought and returned online, which is not good for the environment at all. The bigger companies absorb this postage and packaging and processing cost to keep you happy, and to keep their sales figures healthy. The problem with offering free returns is that it encourages people to buy things they might not even like, and frivolously send them back. We'd rather you buy Rhetorik only when you're very sure you want to wear Rhetorik. We want to promote slow, quality fashion that lasts, not just cheap garments that are bought for the sake of a new look. 

Additionally, we run on much lower margins than the big fashion retailers. We provide affordable, ethically sourced, sustainable, trendy fashion, and that means we can't offer all the cheap frills the other retailers offer, such as free returns. We would rather offer you higher quality, more sustainable products at better prices.

For this reason, we do not offer free returns. You are welcome to return / exchange products as long as you're happy to cover the postage costs incurred in the return / exchange. To meet you half way, we'll deal with the admin, processing and packaging at no extra charge.
