Customer Service

Returns

If you wish to return your order, please fill out our online return form.

To be eligible for a return, you must meet the following conditions:

  • You have requested a return within 14 days after delivery of your order.
  • The returned item(s) are in their original condition, unused, unwashed, undamaged. Please include the Mr Mittens tag and the original packaging.

 

RETURN SHIPPING COSTS

The customer is responsible for paying the shipping costs for returning their order. The only exception we make in covering the return costs, is when there has been a mistake on our side (eg. wrong item sent or damage). In this case, please provide us with pictures and a short explanation, and we will gladly assist you with a free return.

We are happy to assist you with your return by providing a shipping label. This is strongly recommended if you are shipping from outside the EU, to make sure all necessary customs documents are included. Note that if we create a shipping label for you, we will deduct a fixed shipping fee from your refund, which will be mentioned in our online return form.

Should the customer decide to return a parcel using their own shipping label, we recommend using a trackable shipping service or purchasing shipping insurance. We cannot guarantee that we will receive your returned item.

 

REFUND

As soon as we have received the returned item(s) in their original condition, we will send a confirmation email and make a refund. It may take some time before your refund is officially posted. If you haven’t received your refund yet, please contact your credit card company and bank first. If you still haven’t received your refund after a few days, please contact us at returns@ilovemrmittens.com.

In no way can import duties be refunded, as they are determined and collected by the customs agency in the destination country.

 

EXCHANGES

If you wish to exchange an item for a different size or color, you may simply return the purchased item and place a new order. While filling out our online return form, please highlight "I will purchase a different size/color instead". If you place the new order before we have received the returned order, we will gladly cover the shipping costs for your returning order. In case of doubt, please contact us at returns@ilovemrmittens.com.

FAQ

YARN AND PATTERNS

Do you sell your yarn?
Our Yarn is 100% custom made and coloured in South America. Unfortunately we do not sell our yarn.

Do you sell your knitwear patterns?
I Love Mr Mittens is not a DIY label. We aim to create unique knitwear pieces that our customers can enjoy and hope that we inspire those that love knitwear, however we do not share or sell our patterns. However we currently have a really cool collaboration with DIY brand Wool and the Gang. Please have a look at their website to purchase patterns and yarn. www.woolandthegang.com

Once shipped you will obtain a tracking number so you can see exactly where you piece is and how long until delivery. When items are on pre order, delivery time will be advised when placing your order.

I live outside of Belgium, will I have to pay customs or import duty on my order?
Every country is different and depending on your country of residence you may have to pay customs or import duty. This is your responsibility and out of our control. Typically it is small percentage of the purchase price of your pieces. Please inform yourself about these costs before you purchase. When you refuse to pay taxes and duties at destination and the package is returned to us, we don’t offer a refund.

Which payment methods does Mr Mittens accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard and also payments via PayPal. All payments are processed through a secure checkout system. If you do not have a credit card, please contact us at info@ilovemrmittens.com to arrange an alternate payment method.

Please be assured that we take data protection very seriously, and your information will only be shared with third parties where they abide by available data protection legislation. For more information please refer to the Privacy section of our website.

Is my package insured and do I need to sign for my order upon delivery?
All your purchases are insured against theft and accidental damage whilst in transit from Mr Mittens to your shipping address. Once your package has been delivered and signed for at your specified address it is not longer covered. To ensure that your package arrives safely and in perfect condition, we require proof of delivery for all orders and are unable to authorise for packages to be delivered without a signature.

Can I track my order?
Yes. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive an email containing your tracking number where you can track its progress throughout the delivery process.

 

SALES AND PREORDER

What does pre-order mean?
Every Mr Mittens item is made to order and hand knitted when placing an order. Even though we have a large team knitting full time, waiting times may vary per model. Upon placing your order your shipping date will be advised on the website. If your item would be finished sooner than advised this will be shipped immediately.

Do you make custom made pieces or can I alter the size or design of my order?
Mr Mittens come in a wide range of designs and sizes. Due to high demand we cannot accommodate custom made requests.

Where can I find Mr Mittens in stores?
For all stockists, please refer to the stockists section of our website.

Do you make a range for children?
We have had a lot of requests for children’s knitwear. This may be something for the future, but at present we cannot accommodate any requests for children’s pieces.

How do I know what size I am?
Our garments come in XS/S and M/L or are “One Size Fits Most”.

Most of our garments run true to size, however check the item description before purchase as some pieces are designed to be oversized.

 

TAKING CARE OF YOUR WOOL GARMENTS

Can I love Mr Mittens pieces be put in the washing machine?
NEVER put your wool garment in the washing machine or dryer. As our yarn has not been treated with anti-shrink or fixing agents, please take extra care when washing garments. We recommend a cool hand wash with liquid wool detergent, roll it in a towel to gently squeeze out excess water and lie flat in the shade to dry.

What if my garment starts to pill?
Our 100% natural wool or cotton may pill, as it has not been treated with synthetic coating. If pilling does occur do not despair. This is a natural process where friction causes the short fibres to migrate to the surface. Once removed these will disappear. Please use a wool shaver to gently get rid of any bobbly bits and smooth your product.

 

RETURNS AND EXCHANGES

Do you offer refunds or exchanges if my garment doesn’t fit, is damaged or I simply change my mind?
Mr Mittens has a 14 day return policy. Any unwanted items must be returned back to us, in their original condition with tags attached, within 14 days of receipt. Please refer to the Returns section of our website for more information on refunds and exchanges. 

What if an item is out of stock?
If an item is currently listed as “out of stock” it means we are currently knitting up new stock or waiting on a wool delivery. Please bear with us during this period and appreciate that every garment is made with care and takes time to create. When it is the end of the season most likely items won’t be returning in stock as we have sold out.
