FREQUENTLY ASKED QUESTIONS

How can I tell if a designer bag is genuine?

In some instances you can't!  But we can!  We have extensive knowledge on how to authenticate dozens of luxury brands throughout decades of design changes.  If we are ever unsure at all, it doesn't go up for sale!  Replicas are getting better all the time.  There are obvious signs to look for like stitching, quality of material, serial numbers, holograms etc.  Then there are things you would never nescessarily think to check.  There is at least one defining or telling characteristic on every big brand that we know of that can define a fake from a genuine product.  To date we have never miss-sold any designer item.  If there was ever an instance where a mistake was made we offer a full money back guarantee!


Why can't I be paid in cash instead of a cheque?

Because of the amount we pay out to customers we cannot keep cash on our premises.  This is for security and safety reasons.  Everything coming in and out of Handbag Heaven also has to have a definitive paper trail.  The only way we can absolutely ensure this is to pay by cheque.  Cheques can be cashed conveniently now.  If you have a smartphone, your bank will have an app where you can use the new "cheque imaging" feature.  You can cash your cheque at any time of day or night.  Another bonus is that your money will only take 24 hours to reach your account instead of the usual 5 working days when depositing manually at a bank branch.   


Why don't you contact me when an item sells?

At Handbag Heaven we have over 2000 selling customers.  The volume of sales makes it impossible to find the time during trading hours to contact every customer who has an item sold.  We would literally be contacting people all day!  That's the reason we kindly ask you to contact us from time to time to establish the status of the items you have for sale.  


 

Can I exchange my items for other things instore?


If you have any items to sell, once they are sold you have the option to either take a cheque for the amount due, or you can take an exchange for any of our current stock.  You can receive part cheque/part exchange, or take a more expensive item and pay the difference!  It's up to you!

 

Do you have an exchange/refund policy?

If any items bought for the purpose of a gift are unsuitable, then we will exchange the item for something else in store or you can decide to take vouchers to use at a later date.  Providing you have the gift receipt given at the time of purchase and it is within the 14 day time limit.  
If you change your mind about an item bought in store we will be happy to re-sell the item on your behalf.  Please see our sell your items section.

WORKING WITH IT'S GOOD 2 GIVE!

At Handbag Heaven Exchange we run as part charity. 
Over the years we have attended many charity raising events and donated some beautiful items to be auctioned by It's Good 2 Give.
As well as selling on behalf of customers we ask for kind donations to be sold on behalf of our dedicated charity.  When these donated items sell at
Handbag Heaven Exchange 100% of profits go to "It's Good 2 Give", helping young people with Cancer and their families, friends and support teams.  All our donation items are clearly tagged with special labels informing customers of this.  Look out for the price tags like this.....
