I ordered two dresses for my son's wedding. I chose two to have the best chance that one would look like I wanted when I saw it in person. They were delivered on January 10th (the wedding was that weekend) and neither looked quite right so I placed them back in the shipping box to deal with later. I didn't have an opportunity to look at the return process until the next week (January 16th) but when I emailed them they said I had missed the 5 day return window. When I argued that that was a very short period of time and I had not even been in town to deal with it, they said that only one of the dresses could be returned anyway, as the other was on sale. AND that I would have to pay a $25 re-stocking fee if I returned them, AND pay for my own return shipping. I returned both dresses in perfect condition, all tags attached, in the box they came in (that cost me $25.88) and continued emailing the customer service department in the hopes that they would understand that I didn't want the items and since they weren't out anything (they could resale both) they should refund both. They continued to refuse and only refunded my card $103.99, a refund I didn't receive until March 2nd, after I emailed them AGAIN to check on it. I paid $219.98 for the dresses plus $25.88 to ship them back, so all total I gave this company $141.87 for NOTHING. And now they spam my email with ads. I'm not sure how they plan to get return customers with that sort of service. Who allows only 5 days to return something? And charges re-stocking fees for returns? All in all a lousy experience.

Tip for consumers:
Just don't do it.
