Orders
How do I place an order?
Add your selected items to your cart, then proceed to checkout to complete your purchase. Once you place your order, it becomes a binding request to buy the items in your cart.
Will I receive an order confirmation?
Yes. You will receive an automatic email confirming receipt of your order, followed by a further email once your order has been dispatched.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Changes or cancellations may be requested promptly after placing your order, but we cannot guarantee a change once your order has begun processing — please contact us as soon as possible if you need to amend an order. Once an order has been confirmed, the delivery address itself can no longer be changed. If your order has already been dispatched, you still have the right to cancel within 14 days of receipt — see Right of Withdrawal.
How can I check the status of my order?
If you created an account, you can view your order history at any time in My Account. You will also receive a tracking link by email as soon as your order leaves our warehouse.
What should I do if I do not receive a confirmation email?
Please check your spam folder first. If you still can’t find it, contact us and we’ll confirm your order manually — see Contact.
Sizing & Products
How do I choose the correct size?
Our Size Guide gives full measurements and fit guidance for each category, and is also available directly on every product page.
Where can I find the Size Guide?
Open the Size Guide link on any product page, or visit our standalone Size Guide page at any time.
What should I do if I am between two sizes?
Please consult our Size Guide for detailed measurements, and contact us for guidance on a specific piece — we’re happy to help you choose.
Are all products immediately available?
All items are offered subject to availability. Occasionally a piece may sell out between browsing and checkout.
What does “out of stock” or “notify me” mean?
When a piece is temporarily unavailable, it remains visible on the site and you can sign up to be notified by email as soon as it’s back in stock.
Shipping
Which countries do you deliver to?
We currently deliver within Germany and to a wide range of countries across Europe, North America, and parts of Asia and the Middle East. The full country list is on our Orders & Shipping page.
How long does delivery take?
Once dispatched: Germany 3–5 working days, other EU countries 5–7 working days, and outside the EU 5–10 working days. Full details are on our Orders & Shipping page.
How can I track my order?
You’ll receive an email with a tracking link as soon as your order leaves our warehouse. Your order history is also available in My Account.
Are customs duties and import taxes included?
For deliveries outside the EU, any customs duties, import taxes, and related charges are not included in the order price and are paid by the recipient.
Returns & Refunds
Can I return my order?
Yes. You have the right to cancel your order and return it within 14 days of receiving your goods, without giving a reason. Full details are in our Right of Withdrawal policy.
How do I register a return?
Notify us in writing (by email or post) that you wish to cancel, then return the goods to us within 14 days of that notification. See Right of Withdrawal for the full process and a cancellation form template.
In what condition must the item be returned?
You’re welcome to handle and try on an item to check its nature and fit, as you would in a shop. You may be liable for any loss in value caused by handling beyond this.
Can I exchange an item?
We do not offer direct exchanges. Please return the original item in accordance with our Returns & Exchanges policy and place a new order for the item you’d like instead.
When will I receive my refund?
Once we receive your returned goods (or evidence that you’ve sent them), we’ll refund your payment within 14 days, using your original payment method, at no extra cost to you.
Are any products excluded from return?
Yes — items that are sealed for health or hygiene reasons and unsealed after delivery, and goods made to your personal specification, are excluded from the right of cancellation. See Right of Withdrawal for the complete list.
Payments
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept credit and debit card, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna, processed securely via Mollie.
Is payment secure?
Yes. All payments are processed through Mollie, our payment provider, over a secure encrypted connection. We do not store your card details ourselves.
When is my payment charged?
Payment timing depends on the method you choose at checkout via Mollie, our payment provider. For credit card payments, your card is charged when your order ships; other methods may be charged at the time of order.
Product Care
Where can I find the care instructions?
Care instructions are given on the product page where available, and always on the label sewn into your garment — this label is the definitive guide for that specific piece. See our Care Guide for general handling advice.
How should delicate garments be handled?
Please always follow the care label on the garment itself. Our Care Guide has general guidance for delicate fabrics and embellished pieces.
What should I do if I am unsure about cleaning an item?
If in doubt, we recommend having the piece cleaned by a professional rather than washing it at home, especially for silk, embellished, or leather-trimmed items.
Contact
How can I contact RUA & RUA?
You can reach us through our Contact page, by email, or by phone — details are listed there.
What information should I provide when contacting you about an order?
Please include your order number, the name and email address used at checkout, and a short description of your question — this helps us respond as quickly as possible.
