Items that are posted to Brides of Bath should be carefully boxed and sent by recorded delivery. We also recommend postal insurance as we cannot be held responsible for any damage or loss of items in transit. We will confirm successful delivery by email. However, if, upon receipt, sale item(s) are found not to be in ‘as new’ condition, Brides of Bath reserve the right to return the item to the seller at their expense.
The seller will endeavour to supply accurate information regarding the sale item by completing the registration form, and providing proof of purchase. Sellers details are strictly confidential and will not be given to any third parties.
Brides of Bath will feature the sale item(s) on the website, and sale item(s) will be available for viewing, at Brides of Bath, by appointment. Sale items may also be taken to wedding fayres for display/sale purposes.
Brides of Bath will endeavour to maintain the items in their original condition and will ensure that they are handled with the utmost care by potential buyers. However, Brides of Bath cannot be held responsible for any blemishes that arise from the items being handled/tried on.
A registration fee of £25 is payable on acceptance of the main item of clothing for sale. However, if the seller wishes to sell more than one wedding dress, the fee rises by £15 for each additional wedding dress. For other clothing items, such as adult bridesmaid dresses or mother of the bride outfits, a further £10 per item is payable, and for children’s bridesmaid dresses, the additional fee is £5 per item. These fees are non-refundable and cover photography, administration and insurance costs. Please note: There are no additional fees for accessories.
Brides of Bath will agree the sale price for each item with the seller, and this will be detailed in the contract to be signed by Brides of Bath and the seller. Brides of Bath will endeavour to pass customer comments regarding price, back to the seller, so that the sale price can be amended if required.
For all items sold, Brides of Bath will receive 40% of the sale price as commission. Brides of Bath will raise a cheque, payable to the Seller, for 60% of the sale price. This will be posted to the seller within 14 days of the clearance of funds.
Sale items will be held at Brides of Bath for an agreed contractual period (usually 6 or 12 months). Once this period has expired, the contract may be reviewed and extended if Brides of Bath and the seller are in agreement. A renewal fee of £15 will apply.
If the seller wishes to withdraw the item(s) from sale before the end of the contractual period, a fee of £50 will be charged, plus appropriate return delivery costs where required. The item(s) will be returned to the seller within 7 working days of the fee being received.
At the end of a contractual period, any unsold items will be returned to the seller, in the manner in which they arrived at Brides of Bath i.e. collected by the seller, delivered to the seller by Brides of Bath, or by recorded delivery with postage insurance.
It is the seller’s responsibility to keep Brides of Bath informed of any changes in contact details. If Brides of Bath are unable to contact the seller within 12 weeks of the contract expiring, ownership of the items transfers to Brides of Bath. Brides of Bath are happy to donate unsold items to charity, if the seller does not wish to have them returned.
