As a general rule, you should receive your parcel within 2-5 days if in the UAE and for international shipments between 7-15 days.
With the Courier tracking code, you will be able to know precisely when you will receive your purchase and if you have any question, we are here to help. Just drop us an email to hello@escaledesigns.com

10. Returns
We want to make everything as fuss-free as possible. That is why if you are in the UAE, you have free returns. Let’s see all the terms and conditions in detail.
If a customer is not happy with their purchase, they may obtain a refund or exchange within 14 days of receipt of the goods. Satisfaction is always a top priority and as such, each query is addressed individually to the best of our ability. Please make sure you email us before the date is passed. We will guide you through the whole process.
If you are based in UAE you can return your purchase for free, but if you are located overseas, you will have to bear the cost of returning the item to us. Please make sure to mark your parcel as “returned goods” to avoid being charged additional duties. Don’t forget to ask your courier for a tracking number or proof of shipping to track your parcel and to have proof that you’ve sent it. Please make sure to email us at hello@escaledesigns.com to initiate the return.
Customs duties and sales taxes are non-refundable. Please note that exchanges and returns will be submitted through the same customs procedures, therefore are applicable for duty and tax again.
Please be aware that in order to receive a refund or exchange, the item(s) must be unworn/unused and in perfect condition, with all the labels attached and in the original packaging.
Returns should be sent back in their original packaging provided. Please ensure when using the parcel that the packaging is properly protected. Until we receive the package, it is under your responsibility.
Once the parcel is received in our offices, the items will be checked and your request will be approved or denied. If approved, your refund will be completed onto the original mode of payment--if credit or debit card--and will be processed within 15 to 45 days depending on the issuing bank.
If you choose, we can issue your refund as Escale Designs credit. The amount will appear in your profile and you will be able to use it at your next purchase with us.
We work hard aiming that every item arrives in great condition but if you receive an item in a flawed or damaged condition, or if it doesn’t quite match the description on site, please advise us as soon as possible. We will arrange a return and process a refund for the defective item.
Please note that due to the nature of customized orders, and the fact that they have been specially created for you, we will not be able to accept returns unless the customized pieces were damaged or faulty when delivered to you.
Please feel free to address any additional questions you may have to our Customer Care Representative by writing us an email to hello@escaledesigns.com
11. Exchanges
For exchanges, please refer to the refund policy. We’re not able to offer an exchange on returned items. All returned/exchanged items will be refunded once they’ve been received and checked in our offices either via store credit or refunded to the original method of payment (except if cash--in that case, that will be applied as store credit). If you need a different size or color of an item, then you’ll need to place a new order.
Please contact us at hello@escaledesigns.com We will assist you with all the process.
