frequently asked questions

Subscriptions

Oh no! I’ve chosen the wrong Style or Size for my Subscription. How can I change it?

Too big or too small?

Subscriptions renew on the 16th of each month, so be sure to pop Lily an email at lily@lingerieletters.co.za before then so she can update your Style (Brief, Thong, Surprise Me) or Size (XS – XXL) preference for you.

Our Size Chart is also available online.

Can I change my Shipping address?

Moving? No problem!

You can either pop Lily an email at lily@lingerieletters.co.za with your new daytime delivery address OR update it yourself via our website:

  • Sign in to “My Account”
  • Click on “Addresses” on the left hand side of the page
  • Click “Edit” next to “Shipping Address”
  • Complete all the required fields
  • Tick “Update the Shipping Address used for all of my active subscriptions (optional)” box
  • Click “Save”
  • An “Address changed successfully” notification will appear.

Subscription packing lists are exported on the 1st day of the new month. Shipping labels are processed and printed within the days to follow. If you updated your default shipping address between the 1st – 16th of the new month, please email Lily at lily@lingerieletters.co.za to notify her. We don’t want your Lingerie Letter to get lost by shipping it to the wrong address.

Should your parcel get returned, you would then need to cover the re-shipping cost.

Can I cancel my Subscription?

Your Knicker Drawer is overflowing and the Panty Party must come to an end…

We work on a monthly cycle (from the 16th of the current month to the 16th of the following month).

Subscriptions renew on the 16th, so cancellations need to be processed between the 1st and the 16th of the new month.

CURRENT DEBIT ORDER CUSTOMERS

Debit Order customers can opt-out of their Monthly Subscription and Debit Order by emailing us at lily@lingerieletters.co.za between the 1st and the 16th of the new month to avoid getting debited for their next Lingerie Letter.

  • Your Subscription order was placed through our website and needs to be cancelled through our website also.
  • We will also deactivated your Debit Order via Adumo’s Debit Order processing platform.

There are no lock-ins or cancellation fees and once a cancellation has been processed, no further Debit Orders will be passed against your Bank account.

Please do not log a dispute or issue a stop payment instruction with your Bank. 

  • Firstly, your Bank won’t notify us, which will affect our Return Debit Ratio (we’ll unknowingly still pass you in our Debit Order batch and get charged bank fees).
  • Secondly, your Bank will see this as you trying to report a fraudulent Debit Order, instead of stopping a payment for a legitimate product / service which you subscribed to and which needs to be cancelled directly with us (the merchant / service provider). This interferes with your Bank’s effort to combat actual fraudulent Debit Orders.
  • Thirdly, your Bank will block us from passing a Debit Order against your Bank account again. You would then need to contact them directly to lift the stop payment instruction should you wish to re-Subscribe to our service again at a later stage (let’s face it, you have much better things to do than be on the phone with the Bank (wink).

CHEQUE / CREDIT CARD CUSTOMERS

Visa / MasterCard customers can opt-out of their Monthly Subscription between the 1st and the 16th of the new month via their Customer Account OR by emailing us at lily@lingerieletters.co.za.

There are no lock-ins or cancellation fees and once a cancellation has been processed via PayFast, your Visa / MasterCard won’t get billed by us again going forward.

PRE-PAID GIFT SUBSCRIPTION CUSTOMERS

Pre-paid Gift Subscription customers are also eligible for cancellation and can be refunded for services not yet received, however will lose the discounted amount received upon signing up.

Is there a cut-off for Subscription sign ups?

Indeed there is.

We have a monthly cut-off at midnight on the 15th of the current month for new Subscription Sign Ups. This gives us enough time to have our Knickers locally made and packed for shipping around the 16th of the following month.

If you made the cut, we’ll deliver your first Lingerie Letter (discreetly) to your door the following month.

If you missed the cut, your first delivery will only take place the month thereafter.

E.g. Subscribe 15 Jan, first delivery 16 – 26 Feb. Subscribe 17 Jan, first delivery 16 – 26 Mar.

Do I have to re-order my Subscription every month?

Monthly Subscription (Nope):

  • This is an Auto-Renewing, monthly charge via VISA/MasterCard or Bank Debit Order.
  • Subscriptions renew on the 16th of each month.
  • Opt-out anytime.

Gift Subscription (Yup):

  • This is an upfront payments via Visa/MasterCard or EFT.
