FAQ's

1. Where do you get your merchandise?
The entire inventory of wedding gowns are authentic, brand name merchandise. The gowns are either sample or discontinued and none of them have been altered or worn outside of a bridal salon.  Most of the gowns have been tried on in store and any minor imperfections are noted in the listing description.

2. The item I am interested in says sold out or the size I am looking for isn't available.  Will you be getting more in stock?
If the item you are looking for says sold out, or a particular size isn't listed, that means that we don't have it available. There is a chance we can get it back in stock - please send an e-mail and we will try to help source it for you.

3. What is your Return/Exchange policy?

Return Policy:

Adina’s Bridal offers a 3-day return policy with a 10% restocking fee on all purchases. 

Please take the following steps to begin the return process:
1.) In order to initiate a return or exchange, please contact us by email at info@adinasbridal.com within 3 business days of receiving your merchandise. Please include your order number along with a brief note describing the reason you would like to return or exchange the merchandise.
2.) To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused, unaltered, undamaged, and in the same condition that you received it.  You must request the return within 3 business days of receipt of the merchandise.  The item must be shipped within 7 days of receipt in its new, unworn condition with tags attached (if applicable).  Once the item is received and its condition is confirmed, a one-time exchange/merchandise credit or a purchase price refund minus 10% restocking fee will be issued based on the buyer’s choice.  The return shipping is the buyer’s responsibility.   If you return an item in unacceptable condition or past 7 days of receipt we will not be able to process a refund, store credit or exchange and will therefore ship the merchandise back to you.

We do not offer refunds, exchanges or store credits on items that are returned after the stated date.

All purchases made in person in our studio are FINAL SALE. 

Exchange Policy:

If you need to exchange an item for a different size or a different item of similar value, send us an email at adina@adinasbridal.com and indicate which size or item you need.  If we have the different size/item in stock, we are happy to allow an exchange.  Please follow the rules for returns.  A 10% restocking fee does not apply for items that are exchanged.  However, additional shipping charges will be applied. 

Important Note:

For your protection, please send your return via a shipping service that can be tracked, such as Registered USPS, FedEx, or UPS.  Please be sure to keep your receipt, as well as the tracking information associated with item(s) returned. We cannot guarantee store credit or exchanges for returns sent via a non- traceable method.  Please notify us when you have shipped your return and please provide is with a tracking number. Once received at our facility, your return will be processed within 5 to 7 business days. Refunds are processed upon confirmation and inspection of the return. We will email you a confirmation. Please note, credits are processed for the original cost paid for the merchandise and tax (if applicable). Shipping and handling fees will not be refunded.

4. Why are your prices so amazing?
After experiencing the sticker shock of the wedding industry during my wedding planning, I knew that there would be other brides like me who wanted to feel amazing on their wedding day with a beautiful dress that was reasonably priced. My goal was to source great wedding dresses and accessories that I would be able to sell at amazing prices for you.  On top of that, I am not a traditional bridal salon - I run my business primarily online and I have a wonderful studio space where brides can come over and try on dresses.  So my overhead expenses are very low compared to traditional bridal salons. I like to pass these savings to my brides!  

5. How long does it take to get my item?
After you order, most items should be delivered to you within 7-10 days. If you need something delivered quickly, I can do rush processing and shipping. Please let me know when ordering your item that you need rush delivery and the date you need your items delivered and I will let you know if it’s possible and I will make it happen. Additional costs may apply.

6. When Will My Order Ship?
Most orders ship within 2-4 business days of purchase. Shipping times may vary due to availability of merchandise. Orders are not shipped on Sunday’s or holidays.

7. How much does shipping cost?
Shipping cost varies based on the size of the items you order and how many items you have ordered. Shipping costs are calculated during checkout.

8. Where Is My Order Confirmation?
As soon as your order ships, you will receive an email confirmation to the email address you entered on your order. If for some reason, you did not receive an email, please check your spam folder and add (adina@adinasbridal.com) to your safe sender list.

9. What shipping service do you use?
I ship orders with both USPS and UPS. The service used depends on the size of the package and where the shipment is going. Signature confirmation is included on all orders to make sure the package is received by a person - not left on a doorstep. This is necessary to prevent package theft and is a requirement to insure the package.  All orders will have a tracking number, insurance, and signature confirmation upon delivery.

10. Do you ship international?
I do ship international. International shipping typically takes a few weeks to be delivered and costs more than shipping in the continental US. If you have questions about import fees/duties, please e-mail us and I will do my best to answer any questions you have.  

11. Where can I write a review for your website or leave feedback?
Yes please! I love hearing feedback from brides I have helped! Feel free to write me a review on Wedding Wire: http://www.eventwire.com/review/AdinasBridal.  I am also on Yelp and Google!  

12. Do you sell used merchandise?
I do not sell used merchandise. While some gowns have been tried on in store and may have minor imperfections, nothing has been worn to a wedding or altered. 

13. Where do you recommend I sell my used wedding dress?
I recommend listing your dress for sale on Stillwhite or Poshmark. My experience is that dress sell faster when you include a picture of yourself in the dress from your wedding so potential buyers can see how it looks on a real person.  

14. Is it safe to order online?
Yes, we use Shopify’s payment system which uses industry standard SSL encryption to protect your details. Potentially sensitive information such as your name, address and card details are encoded and kept secure. Security checks are also made on all transactions, to ensure the authenticity of each card payment.

15. I’m unsure about a size / I have a fit question. How do I find this information?
You can do a Google search to find the designer’s fit guide with measurements. 
If you still are unsure about sizing, please e-mail me and I will advise you the best I can. 

16. Can I schedule an appointment to try on some of your dresses? 

Sure!  Please schedule the appointment directly through my website. I have a wonderful studio space in Winnetka, CA.  Local brides are more than welcome to schedule an appointment to come over and try dresses on.  Please let me know what dresses (and sizes) you are interested in trying on ahead of time so I can pull them out and have them ready for you.  All available dresses are listed on my website.  Please make sure to look at the sizes that are available, since some of the dresses come in limited sizes.  Also, please tell me a little bit about the look you are going for and your size and I can pull out a few additional suggestions.  

17. What should I bring with me to my appointment?  How many people can I bring along?

There is nothing special you need to bring to appointments. Please wear minimal make-up because it can easily rub off on dresses when you are trying them on. Feel free to bring up to 4 other people for your appointment time (so 5 total including the bride).  It always helps to have a second opinion and get some feedback from a trusted friend or family member.
