In the event that you are unhappy with your purchase.
If the merchandise is being shipped into the European Union, you have the right to cancel or return your order within 14 business days, for any reason and without a justification using the form on this page.
Civilist only accepts returns and exchanges on items that are in 100% original condition - In the condition you received your item(s). Meaning, new, unworn, unwashed, including tags and in resellable condition. You’ll also need to attach the receipt or proof of purchase. Civilist only accepts exchanges within 14 business days of receiving your order. Exchanges outside of this time will not be accepted.
Please note, all returned items will be inspected by our staff before being approved for refund or exchange. Any returned items received that are deemed unsatisfactory, meaning, not in 100% new / original / unworn / unwashed / undamaged condition will not be accepted, and will be sent back to your at your own expense. So please take extra care with any items you wish to return.
To organise a return/exchange, please use the form on this page (within 14 days of receiving your order) and you will be contacted with further information. Only at this point may you return your items(s) to Civilist. Any returns sent without prior contact with Civilist will be returned to sender.
All returns are at the expense of the customer. You will be required to cover both the postage cost to Civilist, and back to your address.
Civilist is not responsible for any item that is lost, stolen or damaged whilst in transit, so we recommend you use registered postal services with a tracking number. If you are located in Berlin, you can bring any return in store, but you must follow the same steps above.
No returns can be accepted on sale items and gift cards. All sales on Sale or Discounted items are final and cannot be returned. If we find any of the ordered products listed on another platform/shop for a higher price, we will not accept any returns on these items.
Certain types of items cannot be returned, like perishable goods (such as food, flowers, or plants), custom products (such as special orders or personalized items), and personal care goods (such as beauty products).
Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address:
Civilist
Brunnenstrasse 13
10119 Berlin
Germany
Please also include the receipt or proof of purchase.
Returns from outside the European Union
If you wish to return your item(s) and do not live within the EU, the above timelines and rules will apply, however there are more details to be taken care of. All items need to be declared with customs and import duties need to be covered on the customers end. If we are facing charges from undeclared items, we will deduct the amount from your refund. If a package is held at customs and needs payment to be released, we will not act and have the order be sent back to the customer at his own expenses. We only accept returns from outside the EU if the return package is sent with Fedex.
Exchanges
The fastest way to ensure you get what you want is to return the item you have, and once the return is accepted, make a separate purchase for the new item.
Received a damaged item?
If any item(s) you receive is damaged or defective in any way, please contact us at store@civilistberlin.com or fill out this form as soon you discover the fault (Please provide detailed photos of the fault where possible).
