No. According to the World Health Organization (WHO) there is no risk that our items are contaminated. The WHO has stated that there is no risk to those who receive packages delivered by courier.

We make sure that ordering online is safe. Packages are still being delivered as usual and all courier services have confirmed that, in order to avoid contact, recipients will not be required to sign any deliveries. We have also implemented additional health and hygiene measures in our warehouse and distribution centres to ensure our employees' safety. The World Health Organization has also confirmed that there is no reason to be concerned for those receiving packages delivered by courier.

At the moment we are able to deliver your order. Any updates will be promptly communicated to you.

We are currently unable to ship your order as quickly as usual. The reason is, on the one hand, the increased demand at the moment and, on the other, the adjustment of our internal capacities to protect employees. To ensure their safety, we carry out additional health and hygiene measures in our logistics center. Unfortunately, this means that we currently need longer to process your order than you are used to. We therefore ask for your understanding and assure you that we will do everything to ensure that you receive your order as soon as possible.

You will be able to exchange the articles bought in a C&A store promptly after reopening. Please keep your receipt for this and show it at the checkout. Unfortunately, due to technical and organisational reasons, it is not possible to return store-bought articles to the online shop.

We ask for your understanding that the shipment times for returns currently take longer than usual. But please be assured that we will process your return as soon as it arrives in our central warehouse and refund you the respective amount. In the meantime, we kindly ask for a little patience in this exceptional situation.

Due to the temporary closure of the store, in a few cases it is possible that we are unable to forward your parcel to our central warehouse. As soon as the store re-opens, we will process your return immediately and refund you the amount. In the meantime, we kindly ask for a little patience in this exceptional situation.

We always send you a confirmation email with your order information to your email address. In case you need certain order information, please search for our confirmation email in your personal email account. Additionally, we are currently working on the opportunity to display previous orders in your personal C&A account.

Yes – the minimum order value in our EU Online Shop is 19 Euro.

Due to new stock arriving and returned goods, sold out items can soon become available again. However, it is impossible to provide reliable information.

Unfortunately, the items in your basket cannot be reserved for you.

Yes – once you have placed your order, you will receive an automated Email message acknowledging receipt. Please note: You will also receive this order acknowledgement Email if one of the items is currently out of stock. We will also notify you by Email, once your merchandise has been transferred to DHL and is en route to you.

You can collect your favourite items in your electronic shopping basket by clicking the “add to basket” button in the Online Shop. Good to know: A binding order is only created when you

• have entered all the data needed to fulfil the contract,
• accepted our Terms and Conditions and
• have clicked on the “Buy now” button

Until you click on the “Buy now” button, you can change your order and the data provided at any time. Once you have completed your order, you will receive an automated order acknowledgement Email. This contains your order details and the Terms and Conditions.

Our tip: If you have not already printed your order details and our Terms and Conditions and/or saved them elsewhere, we recommend that you print the confirmation Email and save it – we do not save your details.

The order acknowledgement does not constitute a contract of sale. It only states that your order has been received by us. We reserve the right to refuse your order; we are not obliged to enter into a purchase agreement based on your order.

Despatch of the items ordered is the point at which we accept your order. You will receive a separate Email notification to that effect. We do not accept orders from persons under 18 years of age.

Standard delivery with DHL is charged at 3.90 €. Shipping is free from a minimum order value of 39 €.

You should receive your order within the following time frames after receipt of the order acknowledgement

Czech Republic: 4-7 days

Are you rarely at home at regular DHL delivery times? We will be pleased to deliver your order to your place of work, your neighbour, friends or relatives.

The C&A Online Shop accepts Visa and MasterCard.

If you pay for your order by credit card, the appropriate purchase amount is pre-authorised first. For example, checks are made to determine if the card is valid and if the available credit is sufficient. Please note: The authorisation of the purchase amount merely constitutes a reservation. The amount is only debited once your order has shipped.

Once we have received the items in our logistics centre, a refund is initiated immediately. You will first receive a confirmation Email to notify you of the number of items returned and the amount to be refunded.

The money will then be refunded by the same payment method used to make the initial purchase. It may take up to 8 to 10 working days from receipt of our Email for the refund to show up in your account.

For technical and administrative reasons, complaints, exchanges or returns of online orders are not possible in C&A stores.

Yes – you can.

No, it isn't. In order to ensure a fast and correct processing of the returns, we ask our customers to always send their returns separately, basing on the original orders and using the shipping label, which can be found in the parcel or provided by our customer service.

Yes – you can also return underwear and swimwear. The items must be unworn and have the original label attached. You may of course try the items on.

If in exceptional cases, an item does not meet our high-quality standards, you can of course submit a complaint within the statutory warranty period (24 months) – this also applies to reduced merchandise. Note: the statutory warranty period for Sweden is 36 months.

You will not incur any costs. Please contact our Customer Service team. They will send you the necessary returns documentation. For technical and administrative reasons, it is not possible to make a complaint about online orders in our C&A stores.

Please bear in mind that we can only take back goods that are unworn and with the original label attached. Any obvious marks like makeup and lipstick stains or odours will render the item unsaleable. If this is the case, we will return the item to the customer and retain the purchase price as compensation.

The refund will be issued via the same payment method used to make the initial purchase.
