What happens if I damage or lose an item?
We know great clothes are meant to be lived in, and unfortunately damage or loss can happen. If items are returned to us in damaged condition or reported lost (not returned over 15 days after your selected Return by date), we will have to charge your original payment method up to 90% of retail price of the rented item. We don't want to have to do this, so please do your best to treat rented items with care.

What can I do to ensure I'm not charged for damage or loss?
Please ensure items are returned to us with no hard-to-budge stains. Take extra care to ensure there are no rips, tears, or missing parts in your return, and send it back on or before your return date.

What if I return my rental later than my Return By date?
Customers will be charged a late fee of $40 per day for each day the rented item is returned after the agreed-upon rental period. Late fees will continue to accrue until the total late fee amount equals the full retail price of the rented item or the item is returned, whichever comes first.

Can I return a rental for a refund?

Can I exchange a rental for a different size?
