ORDERS
We usually process and set to deliver your order within 3 business days from the date the order is placed.
Products currently stocked in our warehouse may take 2 to 4 business days (for domestic orders) or 3 to10 business days (for international orders) from the date the order is processed, for delivery to your specified address. This applies to most of our in-stock items, unless otherwise specified.
Please note that if any item in your order is out of stock, we will only ship the available items on the order and you will be notified accordingly. If you have any queries on the status of your order or otherwise, please email us at customerservice@livebysocial.com.
We do not presently accept back orders, but, if there is a particular style or brand you desire, do feel free to email and check with us. We will try our best to meet your requests.
We do not presently provide the option to put an item “on hold”, for purchase at a later date. You may wish to click the ”star” icon for a product to add it to your wish list. Please note that clicking the “star” icon does not oblige SOCIAL to place the item “on hold” for you.
PRICES
All our items are priced in Singapore dollars. SOCIAL is a non-GST registered company, and does not charge any goods or services tax (GST).
If we discover an error in the price of any product you have ordered, we will notify you of this as soon as possible. You may elect to purchase the product at the correct price, or cancel your order in respect of that product within 7 business days from the date of notification. If we do not receive a response from you, we will proceed to cancel the order entirely.
We do our best to provide the most competitive prices. However, we shall not be obliged to match the price of any item being sold elsewhere.
PAYMENTS
SOCIAL presently uses PayPal as a payment method. We accept online payment via PayPal accounts or major credit or debit cards. You may not need to have a PayPal account to make payment.
PayPal offers a fast, safe and easy method of payment without disclosing your credit card or other financial information to the merchant. For more information please visit www.paypal.com.sg. You should read the terms and conditions as set out on PayPal’s website carefully.
Unfortunately, we are not in the position to assist with problems relating to PayPal accounts. Please kindly contact PayPal directly.

Delivery of your parcel may take 3 to10 business days from the date the order is processed, depending on the destination country. Delivery charges for international orders may be adjusted according to the weight of the parcel and/or destination. Please note that delivery charges may vary from time to time.
Please select your country to find out the cost for delivery.

Item(s) purchased from our Site are delivered by a third party carrier pursuant to a delivery contract. As a result, risk of loss and title for such item(s) will pass to you upon our delivery of the same to the carrier. In the event that there is any loss or damage or you do not receive your order, you may contact us and we will request the third party carrier to carry out further investigation.
Your order may be subject to import duties, taxes and fees, which may be levied by the relevant authorities upon delivery to your country. You will be responsible for paying any additional charges for customs clearance. We have no control over the imposition and/or amount of these charges. Additional delivery fees may also be charged to facilitate delivery from the customs authority to you. Customs policies vary widely from country to country. Please contact your local customs authority for further information.
Please note that when you place an order with SOCIAL, you may be considered an importer and in such event, you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations.
By placing an order with SOCIAL, you authorise us to designate a third party carrier to act as your agent to deal with the clearance of your parcel through customs and advance (on your behalf) any duties and taxes owed by you.
Your privacy is important to us, and we know that you care about how information about your order is used and/or shared. We would like our international customers and customers shipping products internationally to be aware that cross-border deliveries may be subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities.
We may also provide certain order, delivery, and product information, including item descriptions, to our international carriers, and such information may be communicated by the carriers to customs authorities to facilitate customs clearance and/or comply with applicable laws and regulations.
Please also note that customs clearance and other delivery procedures may potentially cause delays in the delivery of your orders.
Gifts
Please note that if a delivery is designated as a gift, SOCIAL may mark your delivery package accordingly, but the cost of the item may still be stated on the relevant delivery or customs documentation. Please note that most customs authorities require that the value of a gift item be stated for all packages.
Refused and/or unsuccessful deliveries
Refused deliveries
If you are not fully satisfied with your purchase, you may return (but not exchange) the unused item(s) in accordance with our returns policy as set out below. However, if you decide to refuse delivery of an order after placing a valid order with SOCIAL, our third party carrier may return the refused items to us.
Unsuccessful deliveries
Typically, our third party carrier will make two attempts to deliver your item(s) to you, and if necessary, collect any additional funds. You will have to contact the carrier to arrange for a pickup if the first two attempts at delivery are unsuccessful. In the event that the items remain unclaimed for a period specified by the carrier, the items may be considered abandoned and disposed of by the carrier.
You will not receive a refund for any refused or unsuccessful deliveries. If the items are refused or unsuccessfully delivered, we will not provide you with online store credits and you shall be responsible for any delivery charges, duties, taxes and/or customs charges that may be incurred on both the original and return deliveries from and to SOCIAL.
Wrongly delivered items
If you receive wrongly delivered items (e.g., an item you did not order or you receive an order when you have not made a purchase from our Site) please contact us at customerservice@livebysocial.com within 12 hours of receipt of the delivery. We will try our best to contact our third party carrier to make amendment(s) and if applicable, deliver the correct items at no cost to you. Notwithstanding this, we do not guarantee that the wrongly delivered items can be recovered. SOCIAL may, at its sole discretion, provide you with a refund in online store credits for wrongly delivered items.
If there has been a mistake in the shipping address provided by you, please inform us via email within 12 hours of the time the order is placed. If the order has not been processed or delivered, we will try our best to make amendments; otherwise, we will deliver to the address that was initially provided to us. We will not be responsible for any costs or losses incurred for deliveries made to a wrong address provided by you, or any subsequent delivery attempt.
SOCIAL reserves the right to change our delivery policies and terms at any in time for any reason.
