Shipping and delivery

All items are sent using Swiss Post Priority Delivery and can be tracked via the courier company's website. All services require a signature at the point of delivery.

Each HEADQUARTER piece is carefully hand-crafted in Switzerland, using couture millinery techniques. Please allow two to four weeks for your piece to be produced and be ready to be shipped. Some of our products are, however, available for immediate purchase and delivery.

Local delivery (Switzerland and Liechtenstein) is a next day service (excluding Sunday and local holidays). International delivery times vary depending on the final destination. We would advise 2-5 working days for Europe, 3-8 working days for the USA and Canada, 4-8 working days for Russian Federation and Australia, and 8-12 working days for Brazil.

HEADQUARTER is not responsible for any delays in delivery incurred due to adverse weather conditions, customs processes, industrial action or circumstances beyond our control once the item is with the delivery providers.

Goods are returnable within 14 days. After this period, all sales are final. Intention to return must be made in an email to info@byheadquarter.ch within 7 days of receipt of the goods. The item must be returned within 14 days of delivery in an unworn, perfect original condition, with all labels intact, in the original packaging.

Once the goods are back with us and found to be in satisfactory condition, we shall refund the full purchase price excluding the cost of shipping and duties occurred. We are not liable for the original delivery costs or the return cost unless there is an error on our part.

Refunds and exchanges shall not be given on any items that have been worn or used, and/or are in an un-saleable condition. 

If you wish to exchange an item, you shall have to pay any difference in cost of the item and any additional delivery cost.

Please note that it is not possible to accept returns or exchanges on made-to-measure goods. However, we want you to feel satisfied with your purchase, so if your headwear does not match your expectations, please contact us immediately.

To return your parcel, please use the courier post service and make sure that the parcel is trackable online. Please wrap your parcel securely to avoid damage in transit back to us. We advise reusing the packaging that the order was supplied in.
