When your item arrives, you will need to check its condition. If the item:
- arrives damaged
- is significantly not as described
- never arrived
Then please contact Continue. You can chat with them here (bottom right chat button) or you can email them at hello@continue.co. You will need to contact them within 5 days of receiving your item.
Unlike other platforms, Continue personally check all issues. This is done by their team members, they do not outsource.
Once the Continue team has reviewed the case and it is deemed that the item falls under the three aforementioned categories, your funds will be transferred back to you.
In some cases, you may need to send the item back, which will be covered by the seller.

As soon as possible! If you anticipate any big delays in posting - such as if the item sells while you're on holiday - please contact the buyer directly to manage expectations.

We recommend a large size for one of our larger-sized bags e.g. Dahlia, medium for a smaller bag e.g. Lily, and small for our accessories.
