What items can be returned?

Items must be returned in NEW (unused, unwashed) condition. Items purchased from Callie's Closet the resale side of the shop are not eligible for return: these items are sold as is and cannot be returned unless an error has been made in the presentation of the item.

What if the item is defective?

If you experience problems with an item due to a manufacturer defect, PinStripes and PolkaDots' will seek to replace or repair the item immediately, as needed. In some cases depending on the item in question, we may need to put you in contact with the manufacturer directly.  Please contact us by email prior to a return of any defective item so that we can guide you to the best procedure based on manufacturer.

I just got ordered wrong size or color and I would like to exchange?

Please follow the procedures for a standard return.  Please choose to receive store credit.  When the return is processed we will send you a gift certificate to apply towards a new replacement order.

I ordered the right thing but received something different?

We do occasionally make mistakes on an order.  We are more than willing to admit this and make it right.  Generally, it is best to email us directly and make us aware of the problem.  We most often send out the correct item along with a postage paid envelope for the other item to be returned by.  Item can be put inside envelope, sealed, and placed in mailbox for the postal carrier to pick up.

By when does an item have to be returned?

Merchandise may be returned for a refund or exchange within 30 days from original purchase date.

Will  there be a restocking fee?

Items submitted for return that were originally bought using a free shipping promotion will be subject to a restocking fee equal to the actual cost to ship the original goods. Items purchased using a credit card will be subject to a 5% restocking fee; this restocking fee may be waived if you choose to receive a store credit. Items that were purchased by cash, money order or Paypal will not incur a 5% restocking fee; however depending on the order, a restocking fee may still apply to recover shipping charges from orders shipped under a free shipping promotion as mentioned above. The restocking fees are designed to protect the business from losses on orders that were negated by no fault of its own.

How long will it take for my return to be processed?

Once a return is received by mail, please allow an additional week for a return to be processed. We generally only process returns once a week.
