Will I pay customs charges?
For eligible United States orders on Maskarade's current route, applicable import duties and taxes are prepaid. For every other destination currently enabled at checkout, import charges are not prepaid unless checkout expressly states otherwise. Where they are not prepaid, you are responsible for customs clearance, import VAT or duties, carrier brokerage, disbursement or clearance fees, and related destination charges.
What happens if I do not pay import VAT or customs charges?
Refusing delivery, failing to collect a parcel, failing to complete customs clearance or declining to pay applicable import charges does not by itself cancel the order or exercise a statutory withdrawal right. If you intend to cancel or withdraw under an applicable legal right, communicate that decision clearly within the required period. Where law permits and no mandatory remedy applies, actual non-recoverable costs caused by the failed delivery may be taken into account after the parcel outcome is known.
How do I track my order?
Use Track Order from the footer or your account. If your order travels in more than one parcel, each parcel can receive its own tracking event.
Where does Maskarade deliver?
Maskarade ships only to selected supported destinations. The country list and delivery methods available at checkout are the current authority for whether an order can be accepted and what shipping charge and estimate apply.
Can I change a delivery address?
Contact us as soon as possible. A change may be possible before fulfilment begins. Once a parcel is with the carrier, rerouting depends on the carrier and may no longer be possible.
My tracking has stopped updating.
Allow for normal carrier hand-offs first. If a parcel misses its stated delivery window or remains inactive for an unusual period, contact us with the order number so we can investigate the route.
How long do I have to return an item?
Eligible change-of-mind returns may be requested within fourteen days after delivery of the last item in the order. Mandatory rights can provide additional or different remedies depending on the destination and reason for return.
How do I request a return?
Use the return and cancellation function in your Maskarade customer account or email hello@maskarade.store with your order number. Wait for authorisation, the designated return address and instructions before sending anything back.
Do I have to pay for return shipping?
For an ordinary change-of-mind return, you arrange and pay return shipping where applicable law permits. If goods are faulty, damaged, incorrect, incomplete or otherwise legally non-conforming, any mandatory remedy and return-cost rule takes precedence.
Is there a return processing fee?
It depends on the destination and the reason for return. For a valid EU, EEA or UK statutory withdrawal, the 4.5% voluntary return processing fee is not charged where prohibited. For an eligible voluntary change-of-mind return from the United States, 4.5% of the merchandise amount approved for refund after discounts is deducted where law permits. The same fee may apply to eligible voluntary returns from other destinations outside the EU, EEA and United Kingdom where permitted. The fee is not charged for verified faulty, damaged, incorrect, incomplete or legally non-conforming goods.
Can I cancel an order?
You may request cancellation until the item is fulfilled. After fulfilment begins or the item is fulfilled, ordinary cancellation may no longer be possible and the applicable return or statutory withdrawal process may apply instead.
Can opened skincare or cosmetics be returned?
There is no blanket rule that every opened cosmetic is non-returnable. Where law permits, a return may be excluded for sealed goods that are unsuitable for return for genuine health-protection or hygiene reasons after the relevant seal has been broken. Rights relating to faulty, damaged, incorrect, unsafe or otherwise non-conforming goods remain intact.
Do sale or discounted products have different return rights?
No. A discount alone does not make a product final sale. Mandatory rights remain unchanged, and the normal voluntary return conditions still apply unless a lawful product-specific exception was clearly disclosed before purchase.
An item arrived damaged, faulty or incorrect.
Photograph the item and its packaging where relevant and contact us promptly with your order number. We will review the issue and provide the repair, replacement, refund or other remedy required by applicable law. The voluntary 4.5% return processing fee does not apply to a verified problem of this kind.
How long does a refund take?
Once a refund is approved and released, it is normally returned to the original payment method. Your bank or payment provider may add its own processing time. Where law permits, Maskarade may wait for returned goods or valid evidence of return before issuing the refund.
