If your parcel has not arrived by the expected date and you have not received a notification or a calling card, please track your parcel status online. You may find that the delivery agent has attempted delivery without leaving a calling card. You can then rearrange a delivery to suit you using the tracking number or arrange a collection from the local depot.

How can I pay?
Our site accepts major cards such as Visa, Mastercard, and American Express debit and credit cards.
We also accept Paypal, which means you can pay by most common methods (visa, meastro, american express, discover). Please make sure your shipping address is confirmed in the PayPal system or leave a message to confirm your delivery address. When a confirmed address isn't available, we will contact you to validate your delivery address prior to despatch. This step is to make sure your goods are received at the correct address and arrive promptly.
Will my bag look like the picture?
Whilst every effort is made to ensure the leather we source matches the images on our web site, please be aware that as leather is a natural product and we use no artificial colouring, there may be some variation in shape, colour and texture. The leather may contain natural blemishes or grain marks, this is quite normal and forms the character of the bag - making each one just that little bit unique. This will not affect the quality or durability of your bag.
What if I am not happy with my bag?
We don't think this will be an issue, as we are proud and confident in the quality of our bags. In the unlikely event that you are unhappy with your bag, please contact us at sales@nichelane.com within 14 days of receiving your order regarding your intention to return the bag. Once you receive our confirmation, please return your bag to us in unused, original and resalable condition within 28 days of receiving your parcel. We will then give you a full refund for the cost of the product and if the bag is faulty refund the postage cost.
Please note that, unless the bag is faulty, you are responsible for the return postage cost.
We are not able to accept Returns or Exchanges for items that have been used.
Do your products have a warranty?
All our bags carry a 12-month warranty from the date of purchase. If you detect a fault within this period, the bag will be repaired or, if necessary, replaced at no extra cost.
We use local cobbler services like Timpsons for repairs. We are happy to cover the cost of the repair if you prefer to fix it locally. Please note if you choose to return the bag to us to repair in the cobbler services, we provide complimentary shipping of your repaired item back to an address in the United Kingdom. Please note we do not cover the cost of shipping your item inbound for repair.
We want to help ensure that your bag will continue to serve you well for years to come, so we also provide spare parts for bags outside of their warranty free of charge where possible. Naturally, this is on the condition that we still stock the spare parts needed for the repair.
Our warranty is only valid when the product is used for the purpose it was intended and under normal conditions.
This warranty does not cover any damage resulting from accident, misuse, abuse (such as tears, cuts and holes in the fabric) normal wear and tear or theft.
