Please carefully read the terms and conditions of our return policy below.
Returns are a considerable expense in both shipping and administration. Prices have been calculated for us to guarantee the lowest prices for all our customers. Therefore if you are not sure what to order we strongly advise you visit a wig shop to determine which wig is best for you before buying online. If you are unsure of the colour we run a colour ring loan programme.
Our returns policy is not meant as a preview service. Valentine Wigs reserves the right not to supply to customers who repeatedly return orders.
VERY IMPORTANT
Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and us will take place on the dispatch to you of the Products ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order.
Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
- The product you ordered being unavailable from stock
- Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment
- The identification of a pricing or product description error
- Your failure to meet the eligibility to order criteria set out in these Conditions
PAYMENTS
We accept:
Visa, Mastercard, G Pay, Apple Pay, American Express, Discover, Diners Club, Maestro, UnionPay, Paypal & PayPal Credit (offer terms for purchases on our website with payments spread over four months.)
When confirmation of order is received, this is to indicate that we have received your order. It does not indicate that a contract exists between us. We will indicate acceptance of your order, and hence a contract between us, when we send you an invoice. We have included this term to protect us in the case that a mistake has been made in pricing, we have inadvertently under-priced goods, or we are no longer able to supply a particular product for some reason. In the case of a change of price, we will always contact you first to ensure that the price is acceptable.
CREDIT CARD SECURITY
- We use secure third party payment providers for all online transactions to give you maximum security.
- We do not store any of your card information either electronically or in hard copy.
- Your bank statement may show your payment to us as SKILLEN TRAINING LIMITED t/a VALENTINE, there is no reference to Wigs. This is for your privacy. We respect your confidentiality.
MAKING A PURCHASE
Making a purchase could not be easier. Just browse our store and add any items that you wish to buy into the shopping cart. After you have finished your selection, click on 'Checkout' and you will be asked for a few details that we need to be able to complete the order
We accept Paypal, Visa, Mastercard & American Express card payments. If you are shopping from outside the UK, place your order and your credit card company will convert the transaction to your own currency.
We take payment at the time of your order for two reasons. Firstly, for your security. We don't hold any of your card details. If we took payment at the time of dispatch we would have to hold your card details, which we believe is a security risk. Secondly we 100% guarantee the price you paid at the time of the order with the manufacturer.
IMPORTANT: Discount Codes cannot be backdated to any order already placed.
SUMMARY OF THE ORDER PROCESS:
- We source all orders directly from the manufacturers' warehouses. This way we don't hold expensive stock and are able to pass the savings directly to you.
- When you place your order with us, we contact the manufacturer at 12 noon the next working day and place your order. The exceptions are manufacturers outside the UK. For European manufacturers like Ellen Wille and Gisela Mayer, orders are placed twice a week. For American Manufacturers like Jon Renau, orders are placed fortnightly.
- Usually within two working days you will be emailed the expected dispatch date of your order. You can also check for status updates of your order in your online account.
- For products that are in stock we receive orders within two working days from UK suppliers. For manufacturers and suppliers located outside the UK it can take five working days to arrive with us. There are a small minority of collections that can take about two weeks. We will always let you know.
- When we receive your order from the manufacturer we thoroughly check and discreetly package it.
- When we dispatch your order there is nothing on the outside of the package to suggest there is a wig or hairpiece inside.
- We operate under the company name Skillen Training Limited trading as Valentine. This is to protect your privacy
- Each day all parcels that are ready for dispatch will be collected by Royal Mail or a courier.
BACK ORDERS
Usually there is stock available however if this is a back order you will be the first to receive the new stock because it has been reserved in advance for you. You will be advised by email of the expected dispatch date.
If this is not acceptable please let us know whether you would prefer a replacement or a full refund.

FAULTY GOODS
Under the Consumer Rights Act 2015 you have a legal right to reject goods that are of unsatisfactory quality, unfit for purpose or not as described, and get a full refund.
This right is limited to 30 days from the date you take ownership of your product. After 30 days, you will not be entitled to a full refund if your item develops a fault.
Wigs are perishable products, even if they are not worn regularly. Your warranty is for 30 days, we cannot repair or replace after this time.
Our products are sourced from leading wig manufacturers around the world.
They are quality checked by the manufacturer and then by us before being dispatched to you.
However, if you believe your wig or hairpiece is faulty, please complete a returns form immediately.
DO NOT return a faulty product until you have received an authorisation code in advance.
Wigs claimed to be faulty are forwarded to the manufacturer’s quality control manager for inspection. No refund will be issued unless the manufacturer agrees that the product is faulty.
Decisions usually take around two weeks.
The manufacturer’s decision is final.
If the manufacturer agrees it is faulty you will be refunded your payment in full.
If the manufacturer decides the wig is not faulty or has been cut or tampered with, there will be no refunds.
The Returns Request Form can be found at the bottom of every page on the website.
NEW TO WIGS OR HAIRPIECES?
It is almost impossible to buy a wig or hairpiece online if you are new to wigs. It is better to visit a wig shop and try a few on. This way you will be able to ascertain:
- Your head size
- The most suitable style and length
- Cap construction (e.g. wefted, monofilament, hand tied, lace front etc.)
- Good matching colour(s)
Buying online without any experience can be very frustrating!
We are an online store and not a wig shop. However, we can help by answering your questions over the telephone or by email. You will find us very friendly and willing to offer independent advice.
Please note: For hygiene reasons we respectfully ask that if you are trying a wig on that you may wish to return, you use a wig cap at all times (wig caps can be purchased on our site here [accessories] or you may use one of your own).
