Top Questions

Will the Royal Mail industrial action affect my delivery/refund?

We have been working with Royal Mail to ensure minimal disruption to all of our customers with regard to deliveries and refunds.

Unfortunately, there is likely to be ongoing disruption to our services due to the Royal Mail industrial action that took place throughout December.

Will my delivery be affected?

To minimise delays to our customers receiving their orders, we have arranged the following with our local Royal Mail depot here in Cornwall:

  • An additional 9pm collection on weekdays before each industrial action.
  • An additional collection the day after each industrial action.
  • For products being shipped from our Seasalt Shops, we are working with Royal Mail to see if we can have collections over the weekends.

Whilst we have done everything we can to minimise the impact to our customers, we ask that you allow at least 10 working days for your Royal Mail tracking to update and an extra 3 working days for delivery before contacting our Customer Services Team. Please note – You may receive your order in multiple parcels so if an product is missing please give it a couple of extra days.

Will my refund be affected?

Unfortunately, all Post Office collections will be affected by the Royal Mail industrial action.

Where you have used the UK Returns Portal you may see a slightly longer delay in receiving your email that notifies you that your refund is on its way. However, this should only be delayed by a day or so and your money should be with you in 3–5 working days from the date of the email. 

Where you return your products to a Shop the process should remain unchanged. Our colleagues will let you know if there are any delays.

If an alternative returns method has been used there may be an additional delay. Please allow 10 working days for your refund to be processed but we will do our best to return your money as quickly as we can.

Before contacting our Customer Service Team please check your account as you may have received your refund and the emails relating to it have gone into your spam or junk.

We are here to help, so if you need us please pop over to our Chat option for a quick response.

How do I return an item?

UK orders

If you placed your order online, then the easiest way to return your item is by using our UK returns portal. For more information and to create your free return, follow the instructions on our Returns page. You'll need the order number (which starts with either M or A and is followed by an 8-digit number) and email address you used to place the order. You will be given the option between a printable label or a digital QR code to show at the Post Office. You can also return an item purchased online to a Seasalt Shop; you’ll just need your order confirmation.

If you are returning a faulty item, please contact our Customer Service team at contactus@seasaltcornwall.co.uk. Please include a brief description and some photos of the issue.

International Orders

Visit our Global-e returns portal and follow the instructions online. You'll need the order number and email address used to place the order. You’ll be asked to fill in some details and print some documents and will have the choice between a standard or express return. Please see our Returns page for more information.

If you are returning a faulty item, please visit our Global-e help center to arrange and authorise your return before you send the item back to us.

Where is my order?

You can track your order via your despatch email or sign into My Account to see the status of your order. If you placed your order as a guest, it won't show in your Seasalt Account. In this instance, please refer to your despatch email. Please bear in mind that at busy times deliveries may take a little longer.

Where is my refund?

Once your parcel has been received, you'll receive an email confirming your refund. This will be made via your original payment method. Please bear in mind that it can take a few days for the refund to show on your card, depending on your card provider.

If you paid with a Seasalt gift card, we’ll send you a new gift card in the post.

Where is my refund?

UK orders

If you returned via our UK returns portal, your refund will be processed and back in your account within 2-5 working days from when the courier scanned your return. Please allow 5-7 working days if you returned any items ordered from one of our Seasalt shops or if you've returned your online order to a Seasalt shop.

If you downloaded a freepost returns label, you should receive your refund email in 10-14 days (excluding weekends) after your parcel has been received. We're sorry this isn't as quick as usual. Please wait for at least 15 working days after your parcel has been received before contacting us.

International Orders

Once we’ve received your parcel, we’ll process your refund. Your refund should show within 14 days from the date that you receive your refund confirmation email. At very busy times, your refund may take a little longer. You can also sign into My Account to see if your return has been processed.

There’s an item missing from my parcel?

We’re sorry about that! Please check your emails to see if we’ve been in touch about a missing item. It’s worth checking your junk mail too.

If you haven’t received an email from us and ordered with UK delivery, it's likely that your order is being fulfilled from a couple of different locations which means that you'll receive your order in separate parcels. If you don’t receive these items after a further 5 working days, please get in touch with your order number and the details of the missing item.

If you haven’t received an email from us and ordered with delivery outside of the UK, please visit our Global-e help center and we'll do our best to help.

Why don't I have a paper returns slip in my parcel?

As part of our promise to reach carbon net zero by 2040, we’re switching to online returns. This means you’ll no longer receive a paper returns slip in your parcel. If your chosen pieces aren’t quite right, you can still return them quickly and easily with our online process. Please see our Returns page for more information.

The product I want is out of stock online, will you be getting more in?

We don’t generally re-stock products online, as we release small collections each season, but some of our key pieces will return each season in new colours and/or prints.

You can return it to any Seasalt shop as long as you take your receipt along with you. Our shop team will then arrange a return on your behalf. You won’t be able to claim the refund in the shop, as we can only process it once the parcel has reached our distribution centre.

If you would prefer to post the item or it’s not convenient to visit a shop, send it to us direct at the address below. Please enclose a copy of your receipt, your name, address, contact telephone number and reason for return (too big / small / faulty etc.).

Why do prices vary between countries?

The exchange rate will vary by country and currency, so the cost of items may be different when you make a direct conversion based on your current exchange rate.

Where do I find plus, petite, tall and maternity ranges on your website?

All of our ranges are available on our website, subject to stock availability. Click on the ‘Clothing’ tab at the top of the page and then select the relevant option under ‘Shop by fit’. You can also filter by ‘fit’ when browsing through our products.

Why has my knitwear developed bobbles?

Bobbling or pilling is a natural occurrence in all good quality knitwear. Groups of short or broken fibres on the surface of the yarn become tangled, and this results in little balls of fluff. The bobbles can be removed by hand or with a bobble remover, but they are far easier to remove from a garment containing high quality yarn as opposed to a cheaper yarn mix item. The yarns we use are very high quality so the bobbling will decrease with wear and you’ll be left with a beautifully soft knit.

My knitwear has bobbled, what should I do?

Visit our Caring for your Knitwear guide for useful tips on removing bobbles. 

How do I remove the creases from my velvet item?

We're sorry to hear that the creases in your velvet item haven't dropped out.

We wouldn't recommend ironing the surface, as this might damage the fabric. However, there is something else you might like to try. If your iron has a ‘Continuous Steam’ setting (often used for items already hanging, like curtains) this is extremely useful for reducing creases in garments. It's a similar process to the professional steaming machines used in many clothing shops.

Simply hang the velvet item up, ensuring that it’s inside out. Then, from a distance, use the ‘Continuous Steam’ setting on a low heat, to allow steam to penetrate the fabric without the iron actually touching the fabric. It's usually very quick and effective.

Alternatively, you can hang the velvet item in a steamy environment, such as a bathroom, for a short while. The creases should naturally fall out.

We hope this advice helps. If we can be of further assistance, please let us know.

Does the garment have a lining/What’s the lining made from?

If the garment you’re interested in is lined, you’ll find the details of the lining composition on the product page for that item. Just scroll down to the Product Description.

My zip is stuck or not working

We use YKK who are the leading supplier of zips, so it’s rare that a zip is faulty.

Two-way zips can take a little while to get used to, but it gets easier with practice.

You need to make sure both the sliders (see diagram below) are right at the base of the zip (they will be on your left-hand side as you wear it). They should sit together quite neatly, with no space in between the zip sliders. The zip teeth above the sliders need to be as straight as possible.

Once you’ve slid the right side base of the zip tape into both sliders on the left side, and it’s all in line, you should then be able to pull the top slider up the zip to fasten the coat. You might find it helpful to hold the base of the zip with one hand, so it’s stable, while you slide the top slider up – sometimes if the bottom slider moves slightly, then the tips are not perfectly married together and the zip won’t close because the teeth are misaligned.

If you then want to open the bottom of the coat (using the bottom slider) then do this separately, after you’ve fastened the top slider.

Zip

Read more about Seasalt Giving here.

Which charities do you support?

We’ve launched a new partnership with Mind, the UK’s leading mental health charity. This new collaboration signals a step up in our involvement in one of the causes we believe in most passionately – mental health.

As well as this, we’ve committed to donating £1 million to our charity partners between 2021 and 2025. We also support charities local to each of our shops and donate our handmade window props to local schools and community projects.

In addition to providing charities with financial support, we love to share our time and skills through our volunteering programme and have committed to giving 20,000 volunteering hours by 2025.

How can I get support for my project or charity?

We’ve committed to delivering 20,000 volunteering hours to smaller local charities across the UK by 2025. This will see us share our professional skills, expertise and creativity where it’s needed most.

Where are Seasalt products made?

All our collections are designed in Cornwall. Our primary manufacturers are in India, Turkey, China, Vietnam, Pakistan, Bangladesh, Sri Lanka and Bulgaria. We support UK manufacturers where possible and sell Leach pottery, Trevarno Skincare and St Eval home fragrances. If you’re curious about your garment’s country of origin, look on its label or at its details online.

What fabrics do you use?

We use natural fibres wherever possible and are proud to have been the first clothing company to achieve Soil Association organic cotton GOTS certification in 2005.

Over 60% of our fabrics are made of 100% natural fibres, including organic cotton, cotton, bamboo, linen and wool. We’ve committed to converting more of our fabrics to more sustainable alternatives by 2024. These commitments include:

100% GOTS Organic Cotton​
100% Global Organic Textile Standard-certified cotton to be used across all products by 2024.

100% LWG Leather  ​
100% of our leather to be sourced from gold and silver rated Leather Working Group tanneries by 2024.

100% RWS Wool ​
100% of the wool used in our collections to be certified by the Responsible Wool Standard by 2024.

100% Closed Loop Viscose ​
100% of the viscose used in our collections to be responsibly sourced and made using closed loop systems by 2024.

We also created our trademarked waterproof organic cotton fabric Tin Cloth® and continue to innovate and work towards more sustainable fabric options. If you’d like to read more about how we’re doing this, you can find more information in our latest Sustainability Report.

Do you use any chemicals when making your products?

We do. All the dyes and chemicals we use in production conform to the EU regulations for the restricted use of chemicals REACH, and we spot check suppliers every season. We have a detailed Production Standards Manual that clearly sets out what chemicals can and can’t be used in the production of our clothing.

How do you ensure workers in the supply chain are treated fairly?

We’re full members of the Ethical Trading Initiative (ETI) and our Compliance and Ethics Team makes sure that all our suppliers commit to the ETI Base Code of practice, an internationally recognised code of labour practice designed to protect workers’ rights. You can read more about this in our Sustainability Report.

Manufacturing products abroad comes with a responsibility to the partners we work with as well as their employees. We work with trusted suppliers and commit to long term relationships to ensure we bring you the best quality products. We also make sure we have an in-depth understanding of each supplier, their facilities and working conditions. Our Design, Buying and Technologist teams are in daily contact with our suppliers and make regular visits to carry out audits.

What is your approach to animal welfare?

Our Production Standards Manual requires all our suppliers to commit to high standards of animal welfare. We only source leather and suede that is a by-product of the food industry, where animals have been treated in a humane way.

We are also members of the Leather Working Group (LWG). The LWG is an international, not-for-profit membership organisation responsible for the world’s largest leather sustainability program. LWG is committed to improving environmental stewardship in the leather manufacturing industry, as well as traceability of materials.

We work with Leather Working Group certified tanneries. Leather Working Group (LWG) certification is an assurance that the leather we use is kinder to the environment and better for workers. We’re aiming for all our leather footwear and bags to be made with Gold and Silver rated leather by 2024.

In addition, our wool yarns are sourced exclusively from farms that do not practice mulesing and use responsible harvesting methods, such as clipping and shearing. We do not use Angora in our products.

How does Seasalt consider the environment?

We recognise the way we run our business has a direct impact on the planet and we are working hard to improve our environmental performance across all areas of the company. By making responsible decisions about decreasing waste, energy use, travel and water use, we are committed to reducing our carbon footprint. If you’d like to read more about how we’re doing this, you can find more information in our Sustainability Report.

What are you doing to reduce single-use plastic in packaging?

We’re working to eliminate the use of all unnecessary consumable materials at Seasalt, including single-use plastic in our packaging. We’ve already removed 18 tonnes of single-use plastic from our business each year by replacing mailbags, packing tape and bubble wrap with environmentally friendly and recyclable alternatives. We’ve also removed individual plastic garment bags from our online orders, which we collect and recycle through our recycling partners.

If you’d like to read more about how we’re doing this, you can find more information in our Sustainability Report.
