F.A.Qs
1. Why borrow instead of buying? Back to top ^
There are heaps of reasons why you should borrow rather than buy. For example, you could borrow many items from LM&LM for the same price of buying one single item. This gives you the flexibility to follow the latest fashion trends without accumulating a closet full of outdated accessories that cost a fortune!
Also, borrowing lets you 'try before you buy'. If you are not quite sure whether you want to make that pricey purchase, borrow the item from LM&LM first to give it a test run. If you then want to buy it, contact us and we'll arrange a great price for - it's all included in your LM&LM membership.
2. How much does it cost to be a member? Back to top ^
Membership is free! You only pay for what you buy or borrow. Once you are a member, you will have access to a cyber wardrobe full of designer fashion to borrow at either a weekly or monthly rate. If borrowing is not your thing, you can visit our e-boutique as a non-member and make outright purchases.
3. Is there a minimum term of membership? Back to top ^
No. The term of your membership period is up to you. Membership is free for the life of the membreship. If you want to cancel your membership, please contact us at service@lovemeandleaveme.com.au
4. How long can I borrow an item? Back to top ^
You can borrow something beautiful for as long as you wish. Keep it for a week, a month or a year. You will be billed according to the period of time the item is in your possession. Overdue rentals will be billed at the weekly rate until the item is returned to us. However, you can notify us and request to be billed at the additional monthly rate instead whereby your rental period will be altered accordingly.
5. Can I borrow more than one item at once? Back to top ^
You sure can. At LM&LM, you can borrow up to 2 items at any one time. Chanel one day, Prada the next!
6. What is my Wish List? Back to top ^
All items in our product galleries with the status "Wish List" are temporarily unavailable, meaning they are currently on loan or stock has been depleated of that item. By selecting "Wish List" for an item of interest, you will be adding the item to your personalised wish list which you can view and manage in your member only Personal Page once you have logged in. The Wish List acts as a "first in, first served" system allowing you to be short listed for items when they return to stock - so you never have to miss out!
Once your wish listed item returns to stock you will be automatically notified via email along with all other members who have wish listed that item - then it is up to you to jump on our website ASAP and borrow the item before anyone else does.
7. Can I make a request for any item not listed on LM&LM? Back to top ^
Of course! If you have your eye on something currently in season that LM&LM has not yet stocked, let us know. Our buying team will endeavour to fulfil your fashion desires.
8. When is my credit card charged for my item rental? Back to top ^
An initial charge will be made to your credit card on the day your item is sent to you. If you have not returned your borrowed item within the one-week or one-month period you specified, we will bill you at the weekly rate until the item is returned to us. However, you can notify us and request to be billed at the additional monthly rate instead whereby your rental period will be altered accordingly.
9. Does my borrowed item have to be received by LM&LM within the one week or one month borrow period to escape further charges? Back to top ^
No. Your selected one-week or one-month borrowing period commences when you sign the delivery acceptance form provided by the courier, and ends when you hand the product over to the courier for return to LM&LM. This information is also outlined for you in the letter which comes with your rental.
10. Are LM&LM products copies or originals? Back to top ^
Our items are certified to be authentic by in-house experts at LM&LM. Characteristics such as stampings, authenticity marks, overall workmanship and materials have been inspected and determined to be consistent with the manufacturer's established standards of quality. If applicable, manufacturer date codes and serial numbers have been verified for consistency. Items have been compared to on-hand reference items for further verification of authenticity. We do whatever it takes to ensure our stock is 100% authentic, so, within 30 days upon receipt, if the item's authenticity is brought into question, it may be returned free of charge for further investigation which may result in a full refund.
Nobody at LM&LM would be caught dead wearing a replica or copy of any kind! Fakes are a fashion faux pas!
