SHIPPING, LOGISTICS AND DELIVERY POLICY – REFINED GENTLEMAN

1. Nature of Our Logistics Operations

Refined Gentleman operates as an international retail platform. Products available through our men's accessories collection are dispatched directly from our partner fulfilment centres located in the United Kingdom, Europe, the United States and Asia. By placing an order, the customer acknowledges and accepts that products may be shipped from international warehouses depending on stock availability and fulfilment requirements.

2. Order Processing and Dispatch Times

2.1 Payment Verification

All orders are subject to payment confirmation and fraud prevention checks, which may take up to 48 hours to complete.

2.2 Order Preparation and Packing

Orders undergo product selection, quality control inspection, and packaging prior to dispatch. This process typically takes between 2 and 5 working days.

2.3 Tracking Information

Once the order has been dispatched, an international tracking number will be generated and sent to the customer's email address. Tracking details are usually provided within 7 working days of dispatch.

3. Estimated Delivery Times and Delay Provisions

3.1 Standard Delivery Estimate

The estimated delivery timeframe is between 15 and 35 working days from the date of dispatch.

3.2 Force Majeure and Seasonal Demand

Delivery times may be extended due to circumstances beyond our reasonable control, including but not limited to natural disasters, postal service disruptions, industrial action, public health emergencies, customs delays, or periods of exceptionally high demand such as Black Friday, Christmas, and Lunar New Year. In such cases, an additional delivery period of up to 15 working days may apply.

3.3 Postal and Courier Services

Refined Gentleman does not have direct control over the operational procedures of postal operators or courier companies. However, we will make reasonable efforts to assist customers in resolving any delivery-related issues.

4. Customs Duties, VAT and Import Charges

4.1 Taxes and Duties

For orders delivered within the United Kingdom, applicable VAT and import charges (where relevant) are calculated in accordance with current UK regulations.

4.2 Additional Charges

Where taxes and duties have been collected at checkout, customers should not incur any additional customs-related charges upon delivery. If you receive an unexpected customs or handling fee request, please contact our customer support team immediately at contact@refinedgentleman.uk.

5. Delivery Attempts and Customer Responsibilities

5.1 Delivery Procedure

Delivery attempts will be carried out according to the procedures of the designated courier or postal service.

5.2 Failed Deliveries

If delivery cannot be completed due to the recipient's absence or failure to collect the parcel from a designated collection point within the specified period, the item may be returned to the sender. In such cases, any re-shipping costs will be the responsibility of the customer.

5.3 Address Accuracy

Customers are responsible for providing a complete and accurate delivery address. Refined Gentleman cannot be held responsible for delays, failed deliveries, or additional costs arising from incorrect or incomplete address information supplied at checkout.

6. Delivery Protection

All orders shipped by Refined Gentleman are covered against loss in transit. If tracking information confirms that a parcel has been lost or irretrievably misplaced during shipment, we will offer either a replacement product at no additional cost or a full refund of the purchase price.
