1. General

Alexander Sachs ("we", "us") operates https://alexander-sachs.com (the "Website"). By placing an order through our Website, you agree to the terms set out below.

All orders are subject to stock availability. We make every effort to keep our stock levels accurate, but discrepancies may occasionally occur. If an item is unavailable at the time of purchase, we will fulfil the available items and contact you so you can choose between waiting for restock or receiving a refund for the unavailable product.

2. Dispatch and delivery times

Dispatch. Orders are usually dispatched within 2 business days of payment. Our warehouse operates Monday to Friday during regular business hours, excluding public holidays.

Switzerland. Domestic shipments are typically in transit for 1 to 2 business days with our DHL Express service.

International. International shipments are usually in transit for 2 to 7 business days depending on the carrier selected at checkout. A more precise estimate is displayed when you choose your shipping option.

Carriers are selected according to parcel weight, shipping restrictions and service availability. Specific carrier requests cannot be guaranteed.

If your delivery exceeds the estimated timeframe, please contact us so we can open an investigation with the carrier.

3. Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a tracking link by email to follow your shipment in real time.

4. Delivery addresses

Change of address. You may request a change of delivery address at any time before dispatch by contacting us promptly.

P.O. boxes. Shipments to P.O. boxes are available via postal services only. Courier services are not available for these addresses.

Military addresses. We can ship to military addresses via postal services where permitted. Courier shipping may not be available.

5. Out of stock items

If an item in your order is on backorder, the available items will be reserved until the out of stock product becomes available, unless you request otherwise.

6. Duties and taxes

Sales tax. Sales tax is included in product prices, except for international shipments originating from Switzerland.

Import duties. International orders may be subject to import duties, customs fees, tariffs and VAT imposed by the destination country. These charges are determined by local customs authorities and collected once the shipment reaches its destination. Alexander Sachs does not collect these charges at checkout and cannot estimate their amount. Unless otherwise specified, shipments are sent under DAP (Delivered At Place) terms, meaning the customer is responsible for all import related taxes and customs charges. For more information, please contact your local customs office.

7. Insurance, damaged and lost parcels

Parcels are insured against loss and damage up to the value declared with the carrier.

Damaged on arrival. If a parcel arrives visibly damaged, please refuse delivery where possible and contact us immediately. If the parcel was delivered in your absence, retain all packaging, photograph the damage and contact us. A refund or replacement is processed once the carrier's investigation confirms the damage.

Lost parcels. A refund or replacement is processed once the parcel has been officially declared lost by the carrier.

8. Order cancellations

Orders may be cancelled at any time before dispatch by contacting us. Once your order has shipped, please refer to our Return and Refund Policy.

Return and Refund Policy

To request a return, please complete our return form here. Do not ship any item back before your request has been confirmed by our team.

1. Return window

You may return eligible items within 30 days of delivery, for any reason, wherever you are located. The period runs from the day you, or a third party indicated by you, take physical possession of the last item of your order.

Items must be returned unused, unworn, unaltered, unwashed, in their original packaging and in resellable condition, with all tags attached. You are liable for any diminished value resulting from handling beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.

To start a return, submit our return form before the 30 day period expires, then ship the goods back within 14 days of our confirmation.

2. Refunds

Once your return is received and approved, we issue store credit valid for a future purchase on alexander-sachs.com. You are notified by email as soon as the process is complete.

Return shipping costs are borne by the customer. Original shipping fees are not refunded.

Customers resident in the European Union and the EEA. If you notify us of your decision to return within 14 days of delivery, you are exercising your statutory right of withdrawal. In that case we reimburse all payments received from you, including standard outbound delivery costs, using the same means of payment as the original transaction, within 14 days of being informed of your decision. We may withhold reimbursement until we receive the goods back or you provide proof of dispatch, whichever is earlier. Return shipping costs remain at your charge. Beyond day 14 and up to day 30, the store credit terms above apply.

3. Faulty or non-conforming items

If an item is faulty, damaged or does not conform to its description, your statutory rights apply in full. Consumers in Switzerland and in the European Union benefit from a statutory guarantee period of two years from delivery.

Please open a claim through our return form and include photographs of the defect. Return shipping costs for confirmed faulty items are borne by Alexander Sachs.

Once we receive the item, your claim is assessed within 7 business days. If the claim is confirmed, you may choose between a repair, a replacement subject to stock availability, or a refund, in accordance with applicable consumer law.

4. Non-returnable items

Gift cards, personalised or made to order items, and items marked as final sale cannot be returned. This does not affect your statutory rights in case of a faulty or non-conforming product, nor the statutory right of withdrawal where it applies.

2. Our team confirms your request by email and provides the return address and instructions.
