What kind of security does Petronels.com offer for online purchases?

We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), the industry standard for Internet Commerce transaction security, to encrypt your credit card and personal information as it travels over the Internet to us. In addition, we employ an outside third-party company to ensure all credit card information is tokenized hence properly safeguarded. As a result you can shop with confidence.

Occasionally, your credit card issuer may determine that unauthorized charges are made on your credit card as a result of purchases made on our website, in such a case we will reimburse you up to R500 of any amount you are required to pay by the card issuer. Under the Fair Credit Billing Act (FCBA), Federal law limits your responsibility for unauthorized charges to R500; and hence, we will cover you for this liability. In the event of an unauthorized use of your credit card, you should notify the card issuer in writing as soon as possible.

Orders

When will my order arrive?

Orders that require shipping within South Africa will be delivered within 3-7 days, depending on your preferred shipping method.

Please get in touch if your order hasn’t been delivered according to the expected timescales, and we will check your order status.

Can I track my order?

Can I save a payment card on my PCB Account?

For security purposes, card information is saved based on shipping region. If you wish to use the same card for a purchase on a different region’s version of the site, you will need to either re-enter your card details during checkout or save them again. Please consult the following list for more information, or contact us for assistance.

Shipping

Shipping costs depend on the total of the item(s) you’ve ordered and the country where it’s being delivered. Please refer to this delivery cost table https://petronels.com/policies/shipping-policy to check the shipping costs for different destination countries. If your order value is more than R750, we provide FREE shipping for you, if you're within the boarders of South Africa.

We ship to most regions worldwide. Please check this detailed breakdown https://petronels.com/policies/shipping-policy before ordering to make sure we can deliver to your geographical location.

Can I choose multiple shipping addresses for an order?

At this time, we cannot accommodate multiple shipping addresses for a single order. If you need us to ship to multiple addresses, then create a separate order for each shipping address. Shipping discounts are applied based on each order individually.

Who is resposibilties for my package once it is delivered to the logistics company?

Once the carrier shows the order as delivered to the address provided at checkout, our responsibility for the package ends.

Delivery confirmation—including photo proof, GPS scan, or signed delivery—serves as completion of our obligation.

At that point, the logistics company or third-party shipper assumes full responsibilityfor:

  • Forwarding the package,
  • Loss,
  • Theft,
  • Damage after delivery.

Any issues occurring beyond the initial delivery point.

We are not liable for lost, stolen, or mishandled packages once delivery has been confirmed to the address provided at checkout.

Returns

What is your return policy?

We want you to be happy with your purchase. But if you are not, you may send your items back to us within 30-days of receipt for a refund by starting your return here. Please note that shipping fees are not refunded. Items marked as ‘Sale’ or ‘No Returns’ cannot be refunded.

Read our Return Policy here: https:petronels.com/policies/refund-policy

Can I return or exchange an item?

You can absolutely return your item to us, within 14 days after receiving it, as long as it’s undamaged, unused and contained in its original packaging with all tags and labels attached. Unfortunately, we don’t offer exchanges. If you’re unsure about clothing sizes, we recommend ordering the two closest matches and returning the one that doesn’t fit.

How do I return an item?

Please contact our customer service team via info@petronels.com. Providing the return is within the 14-day cancellation period and meets our return criteria, we will issue you with a return note by email. You need to print this off and attach it to the packaging of the product when returning it to us. You will need to arrange and pay for suitable packaging when returning an item.

How long does it take to return an item?

This depends on the carrier or shipping method that you choose when returning your item. Once we receive your return, we’ll notify you by email. We aim to process refunds within three days after receiving the item into our warehouse, but it can take several days for your bank or credit card provider to process the refund into your account, or onto your card.

What do I do if I lose my return note?

We send return notes by email, so if you can locate the email we sent you, simply print off a new one. If you can’t find this email, please get in touch and ask for it to be resent to you.

My order has arrived but it’s not as I expected. What can I do?

In the rare event that your order arrives damaged or faulty, please take photos of the product in question and email our customer service team via info@petronels.com with the details. We’ll respond within 48 hours. If you just don’t like the product for any reason, we’ll gladly accept it back as a return, providing it’s in “as new” condition, in its original packaging with all labels attached.

What should I do if my order is delayed, lost or stolen?

Once your order leaves our warehouse, it is in the hands of the shipping carrier. While we will do everything we can to assist, Petronel Clothing Boutique is not liable for packages that are lost, stolen, or delayed due to the carrier. Please ensure your delivery location is secure.

Common causes of delivery issues may include weather conditions, carrier delays, or delivery to an incorrect address provided at checkout.

Most shipping carriers allow customers to add special delivery instructions directly through the carrier’s tracking page. We recommend updating your preferences there or contacting the carrier directly if you have specific delivery needs.

 

If your package is marked as delivered but you haven’t received it, or if it appears to be lost in transit, please try the following steps:

  • Double-check the shipping address on your order confirmation.
  • Look around your property and check with neighbors in case the package was left nearby.
  • Contact the carrier directly for the most accurate and up-to-date information.
  • If needed, reach out to us so we can assist with opening a claim with the carrier.

What should I do if the items I received are different than my original order?

We truly apologize for the error made in fulfilling your order. Please contact a Customer Care Associate through our Live Chat or by email at info@petronels.com to resolve this error. This error may be due to any number of reasons such as receiving additional items in your shipment due to an error, an item listed on the packing slip was not included in your package, or an item received that differs from the item on the packing slip.
