FAQs
Delivery, returns and the bits people usually want to check before ordering.
Shipping & delivery
Where do you deliver?
Anywhere in the UAE. A few remote areas take a little longer to reach, and can cost more to deliver to. If that affects your order, we’ll let you know before anything is sent.
How much is delivery?
AED 18.40 for standard delivery. Spend AED 150 or more, and delivery is on us.
How long does delivery take?
Standard delivery takes 1 to 2 business days.
Our courier runs Monday to Saturday. Remote areas and Abu Dhabi’s Western Region get deliveries about twice a week, so those take a little longer.
Do you offer same-day delivery?
Not at the moment, but it’s something we’d love to offer in future. For now, standard delivery takes 1 to 2 business days.
How can I track my order?
Once your order is on its way, your tracking details will come through by email.
What if I entered the wrong delivery address?
Please double check your address before you place your order.
If something isn’t right, WhatsApp us on +971 58 566 3587 with your order number and the correct address, and we’ll try our best to make the update with the courier.
What happens if I’m not home?
The courier will try to deliver your order up to three times, and may call you to arrange a better delivery time.
Depending on the situation, we may need to charge for sending it out again after three tries, as well as the return fee.
If your order comes back to us, the return fee comes out of your refund. Delivery you have already paid for cannot be refunded, because the delivery has already been paid. If your order qualified for free delivery, what that delivery cost us comes out of your refund instead.
What if I refuse my delivery?
If you’ve changed your mind, it’s easier to accept the parcel and send it back. Have a look at Returns below.
If a parcel is turned away for no reason, the return fee comes out of your refund. Delivery you have already paid for cannot be refunded, and if your order qualified for free delivery, what that delivery cost us comes out of your refund instead.
If something is genuinely wrong with your order, that’s different. Start a return from the Orders section of your account and we’ll sort it out.
Can I send an order as a gift?
Of course. Put the recipient’s details in at checkout, and double check their phone number, as the courier may call before delivering.
What if my package is lost or arrives damaged?
If something arrived damaged, start a return from the Orders section of your account and choose “damaged or defective” as the reason.
We’ll then ask you for a photo, by WhatsApp or email, before the return is approved. It’s the quickest way for us to see what happened, and it usually means we can send a replacement out the same day. Sending one to +971 58 566 3587 without waiting to be asked is faster still.
If your parcel is lost or marked delivered when it isn’t, email us at info@prettypractical.online with your order number. We’ll get in contact with the courier and sort it out.
Do you ship outside the UAE?
Not yet. We deliver within the UAE only for now.
Returns & exchanges
Can I return something?
Yes. You have 7 days from the day it arrives to ask for a return or an exchange.
What condition does my return need to be in?
Unused and as it arrived, with tags on and original packaging where they apply. We photograph everything before it’s packed.
Do I pay to return my order?
| Reason for return | Do I pay? |
|---|---|
| You changed your mind | Yes, you pay a return fee. |
| You ordered the wrong colour | Yes, you pay a return fee. |
| You want a different product | Yes, you pay a return fee. |
| We shipped the wrong item | We’ll cover the return fee. |
| It arrived damaged or defective | We’ll cover the return fee. |
What if my item is faulty, damaged or the wrong thing?
Start a return from the Orders section of your account and choose “damaged or defective” as the reason. We’ll make it right with a refund, a replacement or an exchange, whichever suits you.
For anything faulty or damaged we need a photo before we approve the return, so we’ll message you on WhatsApp or email to ask for one. You can save a step by sending it to +971 58 566 3587 with your order number as soon as you’ve requested the return.
You’ll never pay postage for a mistake that’s ours.
When do I get my money back?
Once your return reaches us, and we’ve checked it over, we refund you to the card or account you paid with. How quickly it appears is down to your bank, usually a few days.
Cancellations
Can I cancel or change my order?
We can’t cancel or change orders at the moment, as we pack and send them very quickly.
If you change your mind, you can ask for a return once your order arrives. Have a look at Returns above.
