Returns & Exchanges

ONLINE ORDERS:

Porte Rouge will be happy to issue a full refund for items returned within 10 days of receipt, accompanied by a receipt/gift receipt AND in the item’s proper, original condition. All returns received AFTER 10 days of receipt and UP UNTIL 30 days of receipt will receive store credit (items must be accompanied by a receipt and in proper, original condition). All sale items, personalized items and perishable items are final sale. Shipping and handling is not refundable. Porte Rouge antiques are all final sale.

Shipping & Handling

Please allow 24 hours for processing your order. Porte Rouge will notify you of availability and status of your order. Packages are shipped via UPS Ground. Other options (including shipments to locations outside of the continental United States) will require additional fees, so please contact store directly for expedited shipping quotes. Otherwise, please allow approximately five business days for ground shipping.  

Sales Tax

In accordance with applicable state law, Porte Rouge is required to charge sales tax in Illinois. Orders shipping to an Illinois address have 10.25% sales tax applied for general merchandise and 2.25% food sales tax for tea and any other food items. Sales tax is applied to the total amount of the order, excluding shipping and handling charges and is based on Illinois and local sales tax rates. Orders shipped outside of Illinois will not be charged sales tax.  

Our Privacy Statement

We neither sell nor share your information with outside companies or third parties.

When you purchase from our online store, we collect your name, billing and shipping addresses, phone number, e-mail address, and credit card information. You provide this information so we can process and ship your order. We respect your privacy by not selling or sharing this information.

We encourage you to sign-up for our e-mailing list. These letters provide you with advanced notice of store sales, new merchandise, and other store-related events. But, of course, you have the freedom to add or remove your name from our list at any time.

Online Security

Your credit card is completely safe.

Protecting your information is our highest priority. We have developed several safeguards to keep your information completely confidential. To proceed to checkout, you must enter your e-mail address and create a password. The checkout process itself employs Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)* technology to insure your safety.

*Secure Sockets Layer encrypts your order information and sends it to a secure server, making it impossible for that information to be decoded by a party outside of the store you shop with.

Furthermore, only our store will have your information; other members of the Modern Retail community will not have access to your information unless you decide to shop with them.

To check the security of your connection during checkout, look for the unbroken key or closed lock at the bottom of your browser window. This indicates SSL is active.
