PURCHASES

All orders are subject to acceptance and availability, and items in your shopping cart are not reserved and may be purchased by other customers.

Republic of Fragrances offers products for sale that are in stock and available for shipment from our distribution center. However, from time to time we wait for shipments from our suppliers. Consequently, from time to time you may have the opportunity to make an advance payment for certain items, in which case you will be able to make a purchase in advance. This ensures that you will receive this item on a priority basis once the designer’s stock has been delivered to Republic of Fragrances. Republic of Fragrances only takes advance orders for stock scheduled for delivery by a designer. Your rights with respect to Pre-purchase are the same as those for any other purchase from Republic of Fragrances. Alternatively, you can easily choose to register your email address for notification of arrival of selected out-of-stock merchandise.

Items received in stock may have been pre-allocated to meet Advance Payment Orders and customers making advance payments will receive items with priority to waitlisted customers or customers ordering through the website for immediate delivery. Please note that we may not be able to deliver selected Advance Payment products due to production or quality control issues identified when we receive an order in stock. In these circumstances, we will notify you by email and refund the Advance Payment to your credit/debit card within thirty days of notification that merchandise is no longer available.

If you have registered your email address for notification of the arrival of a specific product on our website, we will attempt to notify you by email within 48 hours of the product being available on the website. Please note that on occasion, certain products that are particularly in demand may sell out during this period.

Republic of Fragrances stores a record of your transactions for a minimum of one year.

Republic of Fragrances does not sell products that children purchase. If you are under the age of 18, you may use Republic of Fragrances only with the assistance of a parent or guardian

Please read our return policy, which applies to products purchased from us.

PRICE & PAYMENT

We provide information about the availability of products sold by us on the website, including on each product information page. Other than what we say on that page or otherwise on the website, we cannot be more specific about availability. Please note that shipping estimates are just that. They are not guaranteed shipping times and should not be relied upon as such. As we process your order, we will notify you by email if any products you order prove to be unavailable.

Prices are subject to change and Republic of Fragrances reserves the right to apply changes at any time at its sole discretion. Please check the final sale price before submitting the relevant order form. Prices on the website include VAT at the applicable rate.

Goods remain the property of Republic of Fragrances until payment is received and approved.

DELIVERY

You shall own the goods on and from the later of the time when: (a) we receive payment in full, or (b) we deliver the goods to you.

Republic of Fragrances insures each purchase during the time it is in transit until it is delivered to the delivery address you provide. We require a signature for all goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you. If you have specified a recipient who is not you for delivery purposes (for example as a gift), you accept that evidence of a signature by them (or at that delivery address) is evidence of delivery and performance by Republic of Fragrances and transfer of responsibility in the same way. The goods are your responsibility from the time we deliver them to the address you have given us.

Please note that we aim to ship all orders within 24 hours or 48 hours during sales periods. Delivery times shown on the site are estimates and are for guidance only and begin from the date of shipment. In any case, we will deliver the goods to you within 30 days from the day we accept your order. Republic of Fragrances is not responsible for any delays caused by customs clearance processes.

If delivery is delayed due to an event beyond our control, we will contact you as soon as possible to let you know and will take steps to minimize the effect of the delay. Provided we do this, we will not be liable for delays caused by the event, but if there is a risk of significant delay, you may contact us to cancel your order and we will provide you with a refund for any goods you have paid for but not received.

RETURNS

Returns are only processed if they are still in original condition. Products should not have been opened/used and the packaging should still be sealed. If there are specific questions about returns, please contact our customer service. Further processing of returns can be found on the returns page.
