The item is damaged;

The seal is broken upon arrival; or

You received the wrong item.
We will evaluate the issue and make it right as quickly as possible.

4. Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to:
-
Return the item you have (following the return process above); and
-
Once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
We do not offer direct exchanges on health and beauty products due to hygiene restrictions.
5. Refunds

If approved, you will be automatically refunded to your original payment method within 10 business days.
Please remember:
-
It may take additional time for your bank or credit card company to process and post the refund.
-
If more than 14 business days have passed since we approved your return, please contact us at: alicebstoreinternational@gmail.com
Important: We reserve the right to refuse a refund if the product shows signs of use, tampering, or broken seals, as these cannot be resold for health and safety reasons.
6. Allergies and Skin Sensitivities
We understand that skincare and beauty products can sometimes cause reactions. However:
-
We cannot accept returns for products that cause allergic reactions or skin sensitivities, as these reactions vary from person to person;
-
We strongly recommend performing a patch test before using any new product;
-
If you have known allergies, please review the ingredient list carefully before purchasing.
If you have any concerns about a product's ingredients, please contact us before purchasing at: alicebstoreinternational@gmail.com
7. Your Rights Under South African Consumer Law (CPA)
As a South African consumer, you are protected by the Consumer Protection Act 68 of 2008 (CPA). In addition to our store policy:
| Your Right | What It Means |
|---|---|
| Right to return faulty goods | You may return faulty, unsafe, or defective goods within 6 months of delivery, at no cost to you. |
| Right to cancel direct marketing | If you purchased via direct marketing (phone, email, etc.), you may cancel within 5 business days of receiving the goods. |
| Right to repair, replace, or refund | For defective products, you are entitled to a repair, replacement, or full refund, depending on the nature of the defect. |
| Right to quality service | Goods must be of good quality, in working order, and free from defects. |
Our 14-day change-of-mind policy is an additional benefit and does not replace your statutory rights under the CPA. Your CPA rights (such as the 6-month period for faulty goods) remain fully intact.
