Why you'll charge back the "20% green bonus" not instantly when I finalize my order?
We charge back the “20% green bonus” once our QC team has verified that the used clothes are compliant with our 3 RE3 RULES.
What are the 3 Re3 rules?
RULE #1 • You must send us an used garment for every new garment purchased.
If you don’t, we can’t apply the “20% green bonus”.
You’ll be charged back for the number of clothes you effectively send us. In case of more items of the same category with different prices, the “20% green bonus” will be applied to the less expensive product.
Example: if you have bought 2 t-shirts and 1 bikini and you send us just 1 used t-shirt and 1 used bikini you’ll be charged back for t1 t-shirt and 1 bikini only.
RULE #2 • The returned used garments MUST be used.
RULE #3 • The used garments must be returned within 30 days and be of the same category as the new SEAY items purchased.
Example: you won’t be charged back if you bought 1 swim trunk and you send us a used sweatshirt.
We’ll accept only used t-shirts in returns of new SEAY t-shirts, used swim trunks in return of new SEAY swim trunks, used.
Do I have to pay something for the return of the used clothes?
