Refund policy

We want you to be happy with your Palladiums. If something is not right you can return or exchange it within 14 days of delivery, as long as it is unworn, in its original box with the tags and packaging, and in a resaleable condition. This policy applies to purchases made on palladiumboots.co.za and delivered within South Africa; international orders cannot be returned or exchanged, and purchases from our stores or other retailers follow their own returns rules.

How to return or exchange

1. Email palladium@partisanandco.com (or WhatsApp 064 506 7764) with your order number, the item and size, and whether you want an exchange or a refund.
2. We arrange a courier collection. Pack the shoe box inside another box or bag – please do not tape or write on the shoe box, as a damaged box is not resaleable. Our courier may refuse a parcel that is not properly packaged.
3. The first exchange on an order is collected and redelivered at no charge. Further exchanges on the same order are charged at R150 (collection and delivery).
4. Once the item has been checked, exchanges are dispatched within 2 working days and refunds are processed within 8 days of receipt. Refunds go back to the original payment method and can take 5–10 working days to show, depending on your bank or payment provider.

Your legal rights

Online purchases may be cancelled without reason within 7 days of delivery under section 44 of the Electronic Communications and Transactions Act – our 14-day window includes this. Defective goods are covered by the six-month warranty in section 56 of the Consumer Protection Act: we will repair, replace or refund at your choice. Normal wear, misuse or damage caused after delivery is not a defect.

What we cannot take back

• Worn or washed items, items without their box or tags, or items returned damaged.
• Socks and headwear once opened, for hygiene reasons.
• Items returned after 14 days, unless they are defective.

If you return something by mistake and want it back, or return an item that does not meet this policy, we may need to charge the courier cost of sending it back to you.
