1.1 DELIVERY TIMES AND INFORMATION
For UK, we deliver 5 days a week (Monday to Friday). We aim to deliver within 3 working days following the date your order is placed. We post items to the UK through the Royal Mail’s recorded delivery service. A signature is required on delivery. For UK postal costs, please refer to our Shipping Rates at checkout.
For international orders, we aim to deliver within 5 working days following the date your order is placed. A signature is required on delivery. For international shipping costs, please refer to our Shipping Rates at checkout.
Customers outside the United Kingdom may also be liable for any import duty, permits, product restrictions and other local requirements. These are levied once the items reach the specified destination. Please note that we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. Customs policies vary from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office before placing an order.
We make every effort to dispatch items on time. If we are unable to deliver the items within the specified timeframe, you are entitled to cancel the order and we will refund in full any charges which have been debited in respect of that order. If the items are not delivered within the time period, please contact our Customer Services Department. Delivery occurs when the items are delivered to the delivery address you specified when placing your order. At this point, responsibility for loss, breakage and damage passes to you. Ownership of items purchased does not pass to you until payment is received by us in full.

We will refund any item you are not completely happy with when you return it to us within 14 days of receipt. Return it by post with the receipt to Evolving Styles, Studio 52, The Old Truman Brewery, 91 Brick Lane, London, E1 6QL. We recommend that you use an insured or registered mail service or courier when sending items back to us as we are unable to refund for items which are not received at our premises. You will be responsible for the cost of delivering the item(s) back to us, unless we delivered an item to you in error or the item was faulty. Please note that refunds will only be paid to the credit card used at the time of purchase.
If you wish to cancel your order, please contact our Customer Services Department. As we try to process orders immediately it may not always be possible to prevent an order from being dispatched. If your order has already been dispatched you may return the items to us in accordance with our Returns Policy (below). Please note that once we have dispatched items to you, you will not be able to cancel any contract you have with us for additional services carried out by us (e.g. gift wrapping). As soon as we receive notice of your cancellation of an item we will refund the relevant part of the purchase price for that item together with the item’s normal postage charge. We cannot refund any priority, express or courier component of the postage charge.
‘COOLING OFF’ PERIOD
If you live in the European Union you have a right by law to withdraw from the purchase of any item within a ‘cooling-off’ period of seven working days starting on the day after the day the item is delivered to you. This right applies to all items advertised on the Website except for sealed items where the seal has been broken.

Your payments are securely handled by WorldPay, the world’s leading payment service provider. We accept most major credit and debit cards. VAT (as applicable) may be charged on items, at the current rates, and are correct at the time of entering the information on to the system. Delivery is charged extra. Please refer to the shipping rates when you reach checkout for details. The actual price charged to international customers will be subject to the exchange rate applied by the customer’s credit or debit card company.
Although we try to ensure that all prices on the Website are accurate, errors may occur. If we discover an error in the price of items you have ordered, we will contact you as soon as possible. You will have the option of either reconfirming your order at the correct price or cancelling it. If we are unable to contact you, we will treat your order in respect of the incorrectly priced item as cancelled. We reserve the right to update prices displayed on the Website from time to time.
You may pay for the items which you order online by supplying your credit/debit card details on the secure online order form. If you would prefer to pay by cheque or bank transfer, please contact our Customer Services Department.
When you place your order, our system automatically asks your card issuer for authorisation for this amount. If we get a valid authorisation, your card issuer will hold this value expecting a charge from us. Receipt of your credit card details and debit of payments does not constitute our acceptance of your order. Please note that we cannot guarantee the security of data when you send us by email. Accordingly please do not send us payment information using email. For details of the security measures we employ please read our Privacy Statement. Unless we are fraudulent or negligent we will not be liable to you for any losses caused as a result of unauthorised access to the personal and transactional information you provide us when placing an order.
CARD VALIDATION
All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to, or does not for any reason, authorise payment then you will be notified of this immediately at the check-out stage.

(ii) cancel the item from your order and give you a full refund in respect of that item.
