Policies
Pickup
Picking up your rental is available in the Raleigh, NC, area. Your pickup will be ready by 4 pm on the first day of your rental. Failure to pick up your rental by 8 pm will result in a next-day pickup where your item(s) will be set out again by 4 pm. Please check each bag's identification tags to ensure you are picking up your order. The items must be dropped off by 4 pm on the last day of your rental in the exact location as the pickup. Please note your item may be going out on a rental the next business day, so we rely heavily on your return arriving on time. If it is not returned on the last day of the rental by 4 pm, you will receive a $25 late fee for each day your rental is late. These charges will continue until they have amounted to 150% of the original dress price.
Shipping
You may choose to ship your rental. If so, you will pay for both the shipping and return labels. The return label and a shipping slip will be sent in your package. You must drop the package off on the last day of your rental l to avoid being charged a late fee. The late fee is $25 per day and will be charged daily until the dress is returned. These charges can continue until they have amounted to 150% of the original dress price.
Cancellations/Refunds
We offer refunds in the form of store credit only. These refunds will only be allowed if the cancellation is at least 2 weeks before the start day of the rental period. If it is after 2 weeks, we won't be able to offer a refund.
Once an order has been cancelled and processed, the customer will receive store credit that can be used towards any future purchases on our platform. We do not offer refunds in the form of cash or credit card refunds.
If you wish to cancel your order, please email contact@trenlend.com with your name and order number.
Damages
If your rental has resulted in damage, you may incur a charge that is consistent with the extent of the damage. If the item is damaged with no chance of repair, you will be charged 75% of the item's retail price. The most common damages are zipper breakages, tears, and stains, and these will be charged the amount needed to fix them. Any other damages will be covered on a case-by-case basis. By renting our items, you agree to take full financial responsibility for any damages that may occur unless you purchase the insurance option and damages are less than $200.
Cleaning the Products
Please do not clean any rental products. Cleaning our products may result in damage or shrinkage of the item. This will result in a charge that is consistent with the damage. If your dress is stained, do not worry! We will take care of the cleaning for you. Stains will only result in a damage charge if the stain cannot be removed.
Insurance
If you are worried about damaging a dress, we recommend you take advantage of our insurance option. For a flat fee of $9, we will cover up to $200 worth of damages on your item. This insurance covers one item and will only cover that item for a singular rental period. Insurance charges do not carry over to other rentals. If you have multiple items in your cart, the $9 insurance will be applied to the item with the highest retail value. You can find the retail value of your item in the description. If you have multiple items in your cart and would like insurance on each item, please change the quantity of insurance to the number of items in your cart you would like it to cover.
Item does not fit or you do not end up wearing it:
Unfortunately, we do not offer refunds if your item does not fit or you do not end up wearing the item(s). We highly recommend you take advantage of our try-on option if you are local to the Raleigh, NC, area. This will guarantee you are satisfied with your rental.
Item arrives to you damaged or not clean:
Each item is quality checked before being sent to you, but we understand that we may occasionally miss something. If your rental arrives and is damaged/not clean, you may receive a refund. Please note this is done on a case-by-case basis and is not guaranteed. These dresses are pre-loved and might have minor flaws. If we deem the dress to be wearable with this minor flaw, a refund might not be granted. Please get in touch with us within 12 hours of the dress's arrival to request a refund. If a refund is approved, the dress must be returned within 48 hours of arrival for the refund to be processed.
