Classy Couture (SG)

Frequently Asked Questions.

Everything you need to know about our pieces, ordering, delivery and after-sales support.

01 / Our collection

Our Pieces & Sourcing

What is boutique surplus, and where do your pieces come from?

Classy Couture (SG) curates premium contemporary fashion and boutique surplus through independent sourcing partners. Our suppliers describe their stock as surplus or overstock merchandise offered outside conventional retail channels. We select pieces with an emphasis on design, fabric and construction.

Are your products authentic and brand new?

Our products are sold as brand-new and unworn, with the same fabrics and finishing as their full-price counterparts. Our suppliers represent the merchandise as authentic, but we do not hold independent authentication certificates or provenance documentation for individual products.

Classy Couture (SG) is an independent boutique and is not affiliated with, authorised by or endorsed by the original brands.

Why are some labels removed or modified?

Some pieces arrive with trimmed, removed or modified interior labels. Label conditions vary by item and do not, by themselves, establish authenticity or indicate a manufacturing defect.

Please message us on Instagram or use the website chat bubble to enquire about a specific style before ordering.

What condition should I expect?

Items are sold as new and unworn unless otherwise stated. Minor creases, loose threads or light surface dust may occur from storage and transit. These are assessed in context; significant defects or discrepancies from the product description will be reviewed individually.

Before You Order

Should I check stock availability before checkout?

Availability can change. For items listed more than three days ago, we recommend sending a screenshot of your cart through the chat bubble at the bottom-left of our website or via Instagram.

We typically reply within one business day. If an item is unavailable after payment, we will refund the unavailable item in full.

What is the difference between Ready-Stock/On-hand Stock and Pre-Order?

Ready-Stock pieces are already available in Singapore and typically take 1–2 business days to process. Pre-Order pieces require sourcing and transit to Singapore before dispatch.

All items are Pre-Order unless explicitly labelled Ready-Stock.

How do I choose the right size?

Please refer to the measurements and sizing information on the product listing, where available. Fit can vary by design. If you need guidance, contact us BEFORE ordering; sizing-based change-of-mind exchanges are not available.

Processing & Delivery

How long will my order take to arrive?

Total estimated wait time = processing time + shipping time. Processing is the time needed for items to reach us and become ready for dispatch in Singapore.

Timelines are estimates and may vary during peak seasons, holidays, customs clearance or unexpected disruptions. A delay beyond a courier estimate does not automatically entitle an order to a refund.

What are your Singapore delivery charges?

Tracked doorstep delivery takes approximately 2–3 business days after processing. Delivery is free for PayNow payments via HitPay, or S$5.95 for credit cards and other supported methods such as Apple Pay, GrabPay and ShopeePay.

Can I request express processing or split an order?

Need something urgently? Contact us before ordering to ask about express processing, which may be available for an additional fee. We generally dispatch items in the same order together. For separate dispatches, place separate orders or enquire about additional shipping charges.

Can I change or cancel my order after checkout?

Orders enter processing shortly after checkout. Modifications and cancellations are considered on a best-effort basis and cannot be guaranteed. Contact us promptly with your order number.

04 / After-sales care

Returns & Order Care

What is your returns, refunds and exchanges policy?

Because of our boutique surplus pricing and sourcing model, we DO NOT accept change-of-mind returns or exchanges, including incorrect size selection or personal preference.

If an item is faulty, or incorrect, we assess the circumstances and offer an appropriate remedy.

What if my item arrives incorrect or defective?

Please contact us within 3 business days of delivery with your order number, a description of the issue and clear photographs. We assess cases individually and may provide a repair, replacement, refund or other appropriate remedy.

What if my parcel is lost, stolen or damaged in transit?

Once a parcel is handed to the carrier, delivery is subject to the courier's processes and terms. Classy Couture (SG) does not accept responsibility for carrier-caused loss, theft or damage.

Optional protection products are available on our website: Local Shipping Protection and Overseas Shipping Protection. Coverage depends on the selected product, shipment method and applicable terms; please review these before purchase. Contact us if a shipment goes missing or arrives damaged so we can investigate.

06 / Beyond Singapore

International Orders

Do you ship worldwide? What if rates don't appear?

Yes, we ship to supported international destinations via tracked economy postage, FedEx, UPS and DHL. Other couriers may be arranged upon request.

If a shipping option is missing at checkout, your parcel may exceed a service's weight limit. Please contact us for a tailored quote or split the purchase into smaller orders.

Are customs duties and import taxes included?

For Singapore orders, applicable GST is included in listed prices. International orders may incur import duties, VAT, customs handling fees or other destination-specific charges, normally payable by the recipient. For an estimate, kindly check with your local DHL / FedEx / customs office. Classy Couture (SG) is not liable for charges on delivery, and we cannot return nor refund orders not received because of unpaid duties. Parcels shipped with comprehensive shipping insurance are declared at full order value.

NOTE FOR USA-based buyers: Since 29 August 2025, the USD $800 duty-free (de minimis) rule no longer applies, hence ALL parcels to the USA are charged duties and tax. Fees at delivery include, but aren't limited to: (1) Import tax of 12.5% of the declared value; (2) Ad valorem tax of 4–32%, depending on the material (US customs decides); (3) Brokerage fee of US$17 per parcel, charged by the courier. Add your UPS / FedEx / DHL account number in the remarks box at checkout to speed up clearance. Rates can change at short notice, so please check the latest on official US government sites such as CBP.gov before you order.
