Sale items are considered final sale and cannot be returned or exchanged. Full purchase price will be refunded, excluding any duties, brokerage and entry fees on International orders.
For items purchased on christopherbates.com, you must e-mail us at orders@christopherbates.com within 14 calendar days of the date when you received the package, to notify us of your intention and reason for the return and to receive a Return Authorization Number RAN (this number must be written on the outside return label of the package, as packages without a valid Return Authorization Number will not be accepted).
You are responsible for ensuring that you follow the above instructions and that the returned package is received at the Christopher Bates Showroom within 30 calendar days from the date the Return Authorization Number (RAN) was sent to you. We will not accept returned packages that do not have our Return Authorization Number or are received after 30 calendar days from the date the RAN number has been sent.

We require that all returns are made through a secure, insurable and trackable method. Christopher Bates will credit your order if not paid up front, excluding any duties or brokerage fees by the carrier. The package must be received at the Showroom within 30 calendar days once Christopher Bates is notified and the RAN number has been sent. We will not accept returned packages once this date has passed. Christopher Bates is not responsible for items that become lost, stolen, or damaged in shipment as all of the risks associated with the return shipment of the package are assumed by you, the person returning the package.
If you decide to refuse any shipments from Christopher Bates, you will be responsible for the original shipping charges to you, any other fees that are incurred on the package, and the cost of returning the package to Christopher Bates. This amount will be subtracted from your purchase refund.
Once your returned merchandise has been received at the Christopher Bates Showroom, we will inspect the item to ensure the above return conditions have been met. We will notify you via e-mail of the status of your return, whether it has been accepted or rejected. For accepted returns, Christopher Bates will refund your purchase within 3 business days of receiving and accepting your return. Please note that the refund timeline depends on the payment method used for the purchase, and may depend on the credit card company’s policies.
