HOW DO I RETURN AN ITEM?
If for any reason you are not satisfied with your Betties order, please return the product (by mail) within 30 days of receipt. Merchandise must be in new condition, and must be accompanied by the original receipt or invoice. If you no longer have the packing invoice, you may print a copy from the My Account area of bettiesfashions.com. Refunds will be made to the original form of payment.
HOW DO I EXCHANGE AN ITEM?
You have a couple different options with making an exchange.
Option #1: you list the item(s) you would like to return on the Return Form included with your order and mail it to us. You will then receive an email confirming that we are processing your return. Next, you will receive a new email detailing the availability and/or shipping status of your exchange. Available item(s) will be sent via standard mail to the shipping address on your invoice. No additional shipping & handling charges apply to exchanges.
Option #2: If you're comfortable with this, you can simply place a new order and return the unwanted item for a refund. When we receive your return, we'll issue you a refund. This will get you your replacement item the fastest but we certainly understand why some people do not want to have two charges on their credit card account (before getting the refund credit). If your exchange requires additional funds, the credit charge initially used to purchase your order will be charged the difference. We are unable to honor previous sale prices or promotions when you place your new order.
WHAT IF I HAVE A QUALITY ISSUE WITH MY PURCHASE BUT DON'T HAVE A RECEIPT AND/OR IT IS AFTER 30 DAYS?
Betties stands behind the quality of its merchandise. If you have a quality problem, please call us at (925) 519-2984 for immediate attention. Also, Betties guarantees against manufacturers defects within 60 days of purchase. Regular wear and tear does not qualify. If you feel the item you received is defective and it was purchased from www.bettiesfashions.com, please contact us by calling 925-519-2984.
PRICE ADJUSTMENTS
If you are to make a purchase at Bettiesfashions.com and then see the price of your item reduced ON OUR SITE, within 10 days of purchase, we will gladly issue a price adjustment. A receipt must be provided in order to receive a credit back. Please call customer service at 925-519-2984 for assistance with receiving your adjustment.

CALIFORNIA PROPOSITION 65 QUESTIONS
FAQ AND ANSWERS ON PROPOSITION 65
WHAT IS PROPOSITION 65?
Proposition 65 is a California law that was approved by California voters in a referendum in 1986. It requires the state to keep a list of chemicals that cause cancer or reproductive toxicity. If a product contains a chemical on the list or contains a chemical in predetermined unacceptable levels that exceed the safe harbor levels as determined by the Office of Environmental Health Hazard Assessment of the California Environmental Protection Agency, businesses are required to provide a "reasonable warning" to customers prior to exposing them to such chemicals. The list of chemicals and metals covered by Proposition 65 now exceeds 800 and can be accessed at: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/prop65_list/Newlist.html The safe harbor levels can be accessed at: http://oehha.ca.gov/prop65/getNSRLs.html
WHAT ARE SOME EXAMPLES OF PRODUCTS THAT MAY CONTAIN A CHEMICAL ON THE PROPOSITION 65 LIST?
The following types of products are examples that may contain one or more chemicals on the list: jewelry, shoes and rhinestones. This list is neither an exhaustive list nor should it be interpreted to mean that all products containing rhinestones or all products which are jewelry or shoe items contain chemicals on the Proposition 65 list.
WHY DO WE HAVE THE PROPOSITION 65 SIGN POSTED?
As further explained above, this sign is posted as required by law.
WHAT IS BETTIES'S POLICY FOR TESTING?
Betties requires that all of its factories conform to a policy where none of the Proposition 65 List materials are used in our products. However, Betties does not test for these substances. As a result, we are required by law to post signs.
RATINGS & REVIEW QUESTIONS
HOW CAN I RATE AND REVIEW A PRODUCT?
To rate and review a product, simply click on the "write your own review" link shown on one of the individual product detail pages.
WHERE IS MY REVIEW?
Your review will be shown on the product detail page of the item you have reviewed. Reviews may take up to 5 business days to be posted. Once posted, your review will be available for other clients to read over before they purchase, so the most helpful reviews should provide lots of details.
