 SALE ITEMS. We can exchange sale items but no refunds, please choose carefully.  For hygiene reasons we are also unable to accept returns on swimwear, lingerie, earrings or any beauty products – please choose carefully. A sale item is defined as any item with a discount from the full price, including 'flash sale' items with a temporary reduction in price. 

If you are returning an item purchased in a 'flash sale' (temporary reduction in price) for an exchange you effectively have store credit for what ever amount was spent. A sale price is not applied to the exchange item if the sale has ended. (unless it has been permanently reduced in price or you are wanting a size exchange. If a size has to be ordered in for you this is not at a sale price).
