In order to send the package back, customers must ship the return by their own means. Customers are responsible for the charges of the return shipping.
If you need to return an item, you must submit your request into the return platform by clicking on the above Hot Chocolate Design logo. Then, you will receive a return authorization email with instructions on how to return your item(s).
Exchanges are currently not available. To exchange a size, you must start a return process for the original item and place a new order with the desired size.
* SWIMSUITS:
All swimsuits should be tried on over underwear, and without removing the protective adhesive liner. For the sake of hygiene, returns will not be accepted if the liner has been removed or in case it is obvious the item have been worn.
