I'm unsure if my order went through correctly; can you check if it has been charged?
If you have any questions about your order, contact our customer care team via email atcontact@pinkvanilla.com
I have not received an order confirmation. Why?
From time to time things may go wrong. Generally there is a simple explanation. We kindly ask all customers to firstly check their spam and junk folders as your settings may have filtered out our order confirmation. If this doesn't solve the problem please contact our customer care team at contact@pinkvanilla.com
I have received an order confirmation email; followed by an email explaining that item(s) were unavailable. Why?
Unfortunately, if an item has low stock availability and multiple shoppers have the same item in their basket at the same time, some customers may fully complete the checkout process faster than others. This can result in an item being ordered when in reality, it has just sold out. We sincerely regret any inconvenience in the rare case where this does happen and we will fully refund any item(s) within an affected order accordingly.
Why has my order been cancelled?
Occasionally, items sell out very quickly. Sometimes when this occurs the number of customers purchasing an item at that time outweighs the number of units available. Should this happen, we always aim to contact you within 24 hours to advise you of the status of your order and will provide a full refund for any items not available.
My delivery information is incorrect, what do I do?
If you would like to change the details of the delivery address specified when placing the order, please contact our customer services team as soon as possible, you can do this by emailing us oncontact@pinkvanilla.comIt's really important that you let us know of any inaccurately provided delivery address information as quickly as possible so that we can ensure your order is updated prior to dispatch.
Please ensure that you include your name and order number in your email. These details will help ensure that your query is handled as quickly as possible. If your order has already been processed or dispatched to you, you will need to follow our online returns policy in the event of receiving any unwanted or unsuitable item(s).
Discounts & Promotions
Can I use more than one discount code per order?
No, only one discount code or voucher can be used per online order. This includes all discount vouchers and delivery vouchers as well as gift vouchers. If you have more than one to use, we recommend selecting the one that works out best for you and using that towards payment for your order; or alternatively, where possible, place more than one order if you wish to utilise more than one discount code or voucher.
Why doesn't my promotional code or voucher work?
Any code you wish to use needs to be entered into the "Gift card or discount code" box at checkout. If you find that a code is not being accepted, please check the terms & conditions of the code to ensure your order qualifies. Promotional codes may exclude sale and clearance items, postage and packaging. Promotional codes are case and space sensitive and must be entered exactly as they appear to work correctly.
Please be aware promotion codes cannot be used in conjunction with gift vouchers or student discount codes. If you are still experiencing issues and require assistance, please contact our customer care team at contact@pinkvanilla.com
