Return / Refund Policy

We gladly accept exchanges or returns. Items must be sent back in the original condition: tags attached, unworn, unwashed, unaltered, undamaged, clean, and free of lint and hair. Selby Rae must be contacted within 14 days of when the shipment is delivered, to be eligible for a return. All returns are eligible for an 80% refund. All exchanges will be complimentary. Customer is responsible for return shipping. 

Shipping Responsibility Online merchandise must be returned via mail. Shipping costs are the responsibility of the customer and are non-refundable. No credit is given for lost packages being returned to Selby Rae. Non-returnable merchandise sent back to us will not be returned, and no exchange or credit will be issued.

Order Acceptance An order is not binding until it is accepted by Selby Rae. For an order to be accepted by us, payment must be received and approved, we must accept the order and issue a confirmation, and we must confirm the order is deliverable in a reasonable time before your event. Selby Rae will establish what is a reasonable time.

Ordering Once your order is placed with Selby Rae, it will take weeks for delivery of wedding dresses, bridesmaid dresses and other bridal party apparel. In-stock merchandise will usually be shipped within 24 business hours and takes several days for delivery depending on customer location. We recommend completing your order promptly, as Selby Rae may discontinue styles and colors or increase prices with or without notice. You should also allow extra time for alterations and a possible replacement, if a flaw or problem occurs. If you have any questions regarding delivery times, please contact us at info@selbyrae.com.

Size Selection WE RECOMMEND HAVING A PROFESSIONAL TAKE ALL OF YOUR MEASUREMENTS. For more information, view our Measurement Guide. Selby Rae’s sizing chart establishes a standard size. Your measurements are taken to determine the closest size. The dress you order will not be custom-made to your exact measurements; therefore alterations will be necessary to custom fit the dress. It is extremely important that you order a size to fit the largest part of your body. If you are in between sizes, we recommend ordering the larger size and having the dress altered down. We are not responsible for measurements sent online or changes to your size for any reason, including but not limited to pregnancy, weight loss or weight gain. If a dress is too small for whatever reason, time permitting, extra fabric can be ordered from customer service at an extra charge. Please note that extra fabric may be cut from a different bolt of fabric, which may result in a slight dye lot variation from your dress(es). Please read the Dress Colors and Swatches section below for more information on colors.

For detailed information about sizing, visit our Measurement Guide section.

Dress Colors and Swatches

Online images of product colors and actual dress and swatch colors may vary due to display and monitor settings. For products available in multiple colors, the color names will be displayed on the product page. For certain products such as bridesmaid dresses, we are able to display an image of available colors.

Please contact customer service with questions regarding dress colors at info@selbyrae.com.

Delivery and Shipping

Delivery When we receive your merchandise, we will inspect it for style, color, size and defects, then ship the merchandise directly to the shipping address provided when you placed your order. You will be sent an email with tracking information and may be required to sign for the package once received. If a package is returned to us undeliverable, you are responsible to pay the re-shipping and handling of the merchandise. If your email address and/or shipping address changes, it is your responsibility to notify us.

Shipping and Handling We ship to almost any address in the world. Carriers do not always deliver to select countries and certain products cannot be shipped to international destinations due to designer restrictions. If you order an item that we are unable to ship to your destination, we will contact you with any alternative shipping methods or provide the option to cancel the undeliverable items.

We ship packages via FedEx, UPS and United States Post Office. Your package will be shipped using the most efficient and cost effective carrier to your address. Shipping and handling costs depend on the shipping method you choose (Standard, 2 day, next day, etc.), the weight of the item, and the destination. Depending on your location, several shipping methods may be available. For merchandise shipping outside the continental U.S., our shipping and handling rates cover the cost to ship your merchandise. It does not cover any VAT taxes, customs, or duty charges a country may impose on the receiver of the package. Legal title to purchased products passes from Selby Rae to you upon shipment from our facility, and we are not responsible for any loss or damage that occurs during shipping. For more information regarding shipping, view our in depth shipping section.

A signature may be required for your package to be delivered. Therefore we strongly recommend using a shipping address that has a receiving person to sign for the package. When the package leaves our shipping department, you will be emailed the carrier’s name, tracking number and the shipping date. To receive the package in a timely manner, we suggest using a work address or residence where someone can sign for the package. 

Defective Merchandise All special ordered merchandise is brand new from the Selby Rae. Once we receive your merchandise we will carefully inspect the gown for correct style, sizes, colors, and defects and immediately ship the merchandise to you. Upon receipt you must inspect your merchandise immediately. If you feel your merchandise is defective, you must contact us within 14 days of receiving the merchandise for a return authorization (info@selbyrae.com). Please explain in detail your issue or concern. If we determine that your claim of defect is valid, our customer service department will issue you a return authorization number. All merchandise must be returned in the condition it was sent (brand new condition), with tags attached and unworn. Once received, our customer service representative will inspect the merchandise for defects. If we find that the merchandise is not defective or has been misused, the merchandise will be shipped back to you. We will incur shipping charges on defective merchandise, but we will NOT incur shipping charges on merchandise that is found not defective or misused.

The parties agree to submit the dispute to binding arbitration in accordance with the Commercial Arbitration Rules of the American Arbitration Association (“AAA”) then in effect. Except as otherwise provided herein, the arbitrator shall apply the substantive laws of the Federal Judicial Circuit in which Selby Rae’s principle place of business is located, without regard to its conflict of laws rules. Within ten (10) calendar days after the arbitration demand is served upon a party, the parties must jointly select an arbitrator with at least five years’ experience in that capacity and who has knowledge of and experience with the subject matter of the dispute. If the parties do not agree on an arbitrator within ten (10) calendar days, a party may petition the AAA to appoint an arbitrator, who must satisfy the same experience requirement. In the event of a dispute, the arbitrator shall decide the enforceability and interpretation of this arbitration agreement in accordance with the Federal Arbitration Act (“FAA”). The parties also agree that the AAA’s rules governing Emergency Measures of Protection shall apply in lieu of seeking emergency injunctive relief from a court. The decision of the arbitrator shall be final and binding, and no party shall have rights of appeal except for those provided in section 10 of the FAA. Each party shall bear its share of the fees paid for the arbitrator and the administration of the arbitration; however, the arbitrator shall have the power to order one party to pay all or any portion of such fees as part of a well-reasoned decision. The parties agree that the arbitrator shall have the authority to award attorneys’ fees only to the extent expressly authorized by statute or contract. The arbitrator shall have no authority to award punitive damages and each party hereby waives any right to seek or recover punitive damages with respect to any dispute resolved by arbitration. The parties agree to arbitrate solely on an individual basis, and this agreement does not permit class arbitration or any claims brought as a plaintiff or class member in any class or representative arbitration proceeding. Except as may be required by law, neither a party nor the arbitrator may disclose the existence, content, or results of any arbitration without the prior written consent of both parties, unless to protect or pursue a legal right. If any term or provision of this Section is invalid, illegal, or unenforceable in any jurisdiction, such invalidity, illegality, or unenforceability shall not affect any other term or provision of this Section or invalidate or render unenforceable such term or provision in any other jurisdiction. If for any reason a dispute proceeds in court rather than in arbitration, the parties hereby waive any right to a jury trial. This arbitration provision shall survive any cancellation or termination of your agreement to participate in any of our Programs.

Miscellaneous: You warrant and represent to Us that you have all necessary rights, power, and authority to agree to these Terms and perform your obligations hereunder, and nothing contained in this Agreement or in the performance of such obligations will place you in breach of any other contract or obligation. The failure of either party to exercise in any respect any right provided for herein will not be deemed a waiver of any further rights hereunder. If any provision of this Agreement is found to be unenforceable or invalid, that provision will be limited or eliminated to the minimum extent necessary so that this Agreement will otherwise remain in full force and effect and enforceable. Any new features, changes, updates or improvements of the Program shall be subject to this Agreement unless explicitly stated otherwise in writing. We reserve the right to change this Agreement from time to time. Any updates to this Agreement shall be communicated to you. You acknowledge your responsibility to review this Agreement from time to time and to be aware of any such changes. By continuing to participate in the Program after any such changes, you accept this Agreement, as modified.
