Accordingly, the refund for returns from Germany or Austria will be reduced by the return shipping fee of 2.90€. Returns from other countries must be sent back at your own expense. Please note that a direct exchange is unfortunately not possible.

interface_essentials/search/dark copy 6 When does the return fee apply?

The return flat rate applies to orders from Germany and Austria (from 1.10.2023) if you return all or part of your order to us.

interface_essentials/search/dark copy 6 Why do you charge the return fee?

Responsibility towards our environment is a central part of the pinqponq brand identity. That is why we have decided to introduce a returns fee. With this we want to promote conscious consumption and ensure that only those items are returned that are actually unwanted or defective. Together with you, we are taking responsibility for a more sustainable future.

interface_essentials/search/dark copy 6 How will I be charged the return fee?

The return flat rate will be charged to you when you receive a refund. Here is an example: You return all items of an order with an invoice amount of 79.90€. In this case we will refund you 77.00€ (79.90€ minus 2.90€).

interface_essentials/search/dark copy 6 How can I avoid returns?

We are aware that returns cannot always be avoided. Maybe the following tips will help you to at least reduce them, this will not only save you time and frustration, but can also reduce your ecological footprint by saving transport routes and packaging material.

  • Avoid ordering many different styles and sizes of one item. Instead, look for stores in your area where you can try on our styles and find your perfect fit.
  • If you are unsure about the size, take a look at the given body size of the model and the customer reviews about the item in our store.
  • Use our size charts to find out your recommended size and measure your body exactly.
  • Read the product descriptions carefully and look at photos and videos.
  • Order only if you really need a product. It can help to think beforehand how you would style it, does it fit to already existing clothes, can it be combined to wear it e.g. cross-seasonally? Do you already own a similar piece
  • Take your time: Wait until you discover new favorite styles with us and rather make a larger collective order, e.g. with friends.

If you have any questions, please feel free to contact our dear Customer Happiness Team.
