The item I want is sold out. Is it coming back?

The way we source our fabrics and produce our collections means that some of our items are only available in small quantities and may therefore be sold out. Please note that the majority of our pieces are limited edition and will not be returning in the future.

The item I ordered is faulty, what do I do?

We would be more than happy to exchange this garment for you if we still have it in stock or provide you with a full refund for the faulty item. Please fill out the returns form and send it back to us with the faulty item. We will also cover the cost of the postage of the return, please ensure to include the proof of postage. Contact us at people@peopletree.co.uk or by phone Tel: +44 (0) 20 7042 8900 if you require further assistance.

Payments


How can I pay on your site?

Payment for orders must be made by debit or credit card. All online transactions are protected by the latest security technology. For added security when you place an order, People Tree does not retain your payment details. You can pay for your order online by:

Amazon Payments (UK customers only),PayPal, Visa, MasterCard, Maestro, Switch and American Express

Please note: If you are paying by Visa or MasterCard, you may be required to authenticate your purchase using Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode in order to protect your card against unauthorised use.

Will I be charged VAT?

All prices displayed on our UK website include UK Value Added Tax (VAT). If shipping outside of the EU, the prices do not include UK VAT but your order may be subject to local duties.

Do I have to pay import duties or taxes for orders outside the UK?

We ship our packages Delivery Duty Unpaid (DDU) and any customs duties and taxes are regulated and issued by your government, not the UK government. Unfortunately, these fees are beyond our control and we are unable to cover or even make an estimate as to what these charges will be. That depends on the items, the country, and the discrepancy of that country's customs officials.

When is payment taken from my card?

As soon as you place your order, we will immediately contact your bank or card issuer for authorisation to take payment from your account. If there is a query with the payment, either your card issuer or our Customer Care team will contact you.

Why do you use plastic packaging?

We use recyclable plastic packaging because in accordance with our commitment to sustainability we employ sea-freight for the majority of our products. This means we have to pack them in plastic to protect them from moisture damage in transit. This is not a remote scenario, unfortunately, and we have in the past lost parts of our collection due to damage in transit. This is a terrible shame for both our producers and customers.

The plastic we use is made from polypropylene and is actually recyclable and biodegradable. We have two aeration holes in the plastic packaging to prevent condensation from forming, and the plastic is also Butylated hydroxytoluene (BHT) free, which prevents garments from yellowing.

As a small company, we always have to weigh up what has the bigger impact when we consider a complex issue. We feel that in terms of packaging, protecting our Fairtrade, handmade clothing is the priority. However, we are always reviewing our current sustainability practices and we would of course implement a change when we are in the position to do so. We hope this provides our customers with a little more information as to why our garments are shipped in plastic and we very much appreciate your continued support for fair trade and sustainable fashion.

Why don't you ship to my country?

At present we are unable to provide a cost effective delivery service to some countries outside Europe. We are hoping that as we grow larger we will be able to provide this service.
