Where is my order?

Once you’ve placed your order, you’ll receive a confirmation email to let you know we’ve got it. Our dedicated warehouse team will then get to work, carefully packing your items and sending them on their way to you.
As soon as your order is dispatched, we’ll send you an email with a tracking link so you can follow your order’s journey to your doorstep. Keep in mind that delivery dates are estimated—sometimes your order may arrive a little earlier or a bit later than expected, but rest assured, delays are rare and we’re here to help if needed.
If your tracking information hasn’t updated in three days, don’t worry! Just contact us and we’ll be happy to help track it down.
Thank you for supporting Nobody’s Child—we’re thrilled to be part of your fashion journey!

Where is my refund?

We know waiting for a refund can be a bit of a worry, so we’ve made the process as clear and smooth as possible for you.
Once you’ve posted your return, it can take a few days for the parcel to arrive at our warehouse. From the date your return arrives at our DC, please allow up to 14 days for us to process your refund. You’ll receive an email once your return has been received, and another email to confirm when your refund has been processed.
Please note, it can take 3-5 working days for the refund to appear in your account after we’ve processed it.
Our lovely customer services team is always here to help, but they’re super busy making sure everyone gets the support they need. We kindly ask that you only contact us if you haven’t received your refund within 5 working days after receiving the email confirming your refund is being processed. This helps us focus on processing refunds quickly for everyone.
Thank you so much for your understanding and support!

What can't I return?

We want you to love everything you order from Nobody’s Child, but we understand that sometimes things just don’t work out. While we accept most returns, there are a few items that, for hygiene and safety reasons, we unfortunately cannot take back:
• Earrings: For hygiene reasons, we’re unable to accept returns of earrings. We hope you understand that this is to ensure the safety and well-being of all our customers.
• Swimwear: If you’d like to return swimwear, please make sure it still has the protective slip in place. Without the protective slip, we won’t be able to process your return.
Important Return Guidelines
To help us process your return quickly and smoothly, please ensure that all products you wish to return meet the following criteria:
• Original Condition: Items must be returned in their original condition, which means they should be unworn, unwashed, and free from any damage or alterations.
• Tags and Packaging: Please make sure all original tags are still attached, and items are returned in the original Nobody’s Child packaging. This includes any boxes, bags, or other protective packaging provided with the product.
• Perfect Condition: Products must be returned in perfect condition, just as you received them. If the return doesn’t meet these criteria, we won’t be able to process your refund.
• Proof of Return: Please keep hold of your proof of return receipt until your refund has been processed. This may need to be presented if there are any issues with the return.
• Online Purchases: Please note that items purchased online cannot be returned to our physical stores. All online purchases must be returned via our designated return process.
Why These Guidelines Matter
We take great care in ensuring that every item we send out is in perfect condition, and we ask that returns are handled with the same care. This helps us maintain the high standards that our customers expect from Nobody’s Child.

Why is there an item missing from my order?

We strive to ensure that every order is perfect, but we know that sometimes things can go wrong—though rest assured, this is very rare. If you find that an item is missing from your order, we’re here to support you.
Possible Reasons for Missing Items:
• Out of Stock at the Time of Order: The most common reason for a missing item is that it was out of stock when your order was placed. If this happens, you will have automatically been refunded for the out-of-stock item. Check your email for a notification of the refund, which should have been processed at the time of your order. Please allow 3-5 working days for the refund to appear in your account.
• Separate Shipments: Please note that fragrances are shipped separately due to their handling requirements. If you’ve ordered a fragrance, it might arrive in a different parcel. In some cases, other items in your order may also be shipped separately depending on order size and specific packing requirements. 
What to Do Next:
• Check Your Email and Order Details: Before contacting us, please double-check your order confirmation and any follow-up emails for details on your order status. This can help clarify if an item was out of stock or shipped separately.
If you’ve checked your emails and are still unsure why an item is missing, or if you haven’t received your refund, please don’t hesitate to reach out to our lovely customer service team—they’re always here to help!
Thank you for your understanding and for shopping with Nobody’s Child.
