Return policy for the U.S.
Last year I ordered Tardes for myself, and everything went smoothly. This year on Aug 28, I ordered Sal y limon for a friend's birthday. On the website, it says they deliver within 3-5 business days; I finally received it on Sep 10. Unfortunately, It was too late for the birthday; I had already bought another perfume. While the package was in transit, I contacted Carner via e mail a couple of times and got prompt replies saying there was nothing they can do. I sent an e mail as soon as I received it to initiate the return; it's an expensive perfume ($220), and I didn't need it any more. They replied after 2 days that they could not refund me because it wasn't their fault: "Unfortunately, we cannot proceed with the refund because the package left this store on September 2, so the delay was due to reasons beyond our control, such as customs issues. If you have any further questions, please do not hesitate to contact us." This is their return policy off of their website: "Returns must be processed within 15 days of receipt. Items must remain unopened, unused, and in their original packaging. To initiate a return, contact us at customerservice or via WhatsApp at +34 690 354 800.
We offer free return shipping, except for the US and Canada, where free returns apply only to orders over $220. For orders under $220, the customer is responsible for return shipping."
I've been trying to tell them that my purchase fully qualifies for the refund and the delay has nothing to with it because it's not mentioned anywhere in their policy, the item is unopened and it's within 15 days from the receipt, and they still don't want to initiate it. I've sent them three e mails, called them and texted them on WhatsApp multiple times, and no one has replied. They are totally ignoring me. I honestly can't believe that this supposedly niche company can lie and do business like this. This is the worst experience ever; stay away from them. I will find a way to get my money back, but I will never ever buy anything from Carner.
