FAQ | Frequently Asked Questions
Below we have compiled a list of frequently asked questions at PLEIN PUBLIQUE. If your question is not among them, please feel free to drop us a line.
Yes, we ship all over the world. Shipping costs will apply, and will be added at checkout. We run discounts and promotions all year, so stay tuned for exclusive deals.
It depends on where you are. Orders processed here will take 5-7 business days to arrive. Overseas deliveries can take anywhere from 7-16 days. Delivery details will be provided in your confirmation email.
Good question. We’re actually pretty fast, but we can’t deliver at literal lightning speed. In other words… orders placed before 8:00 PM are shipped the same business day. Hey, that’s still pretty quick. Keep in mind, we rely on couriers, and delays can occur beyond our control.
I received the wrong item or the wrong size, what now?
Oops, did we slip up? Nobody’s perfect, as it turns out. Sorry for the inconvenience – send us an email at hello[@]pleinpublique.com and we’ll sort it out as quickly as possible.
We do our very best to deliver all items to you in perfect condition, but sometimes something can happen “along the way” or an item may have a defect. Very annoying, but of course we’ll fix it – that’s just how we roll!
So, please check all items before you excitedly remove all tags and labels & before the return period expires. Without tags/labels, we unfortunately cannot accept a return.
It's easier to asks which ones are not supported... we accept almost all of them. From iDeal to credit cards to Mistercash and Paypal.
We do not offer pay-later options. The main reason is that in case of a return, it can take a long time for the amount to be processed and refunded through the respective payment provider. We want to ensure that you receive your money back quickly when you return something; normally, this is done within a few days.
If you are new here and not fully familiar with us yet, we recommend paying with Paypal or a credit card. These methods always provide protection for you as a customer.
Once the returned item (in its original condition with attached labels & tags) is back in our possession, we will start processing the return and refund.
The amount will be refunded to your account. This may take a few days. The maximum is 5 days (usually about 1 or 2 days, but we like to leave a little breathing room… just to be safe).
As mentioned, we process returns quickly. In 98% of cases, your refund is returned to the account you paid with within two days.
In exceptional cases, it can take up to 10 business days. Unfortunately, this is beyond our control, as delays are caused by the banks. If in doubt, you can always send us a message and we’ll check it for you.
For credit card payments, the process is different; we process it quickly, but it can take longer for the credit card company to reflect the refund. In that case, it may take up to 1.5 months for the money to appear.
If the purchase was a gift – and the recipient is not the buyer – we will of course refund the original purchaser. (Getting paid for being picky with a present? – not on our watch ;-))

* During holidays and busy periods such as Black Friday, Christmas, Easter, etc., delivery may take a little longer, so please take that into account or check with us before ordering via hello[@]pleinpublique.com.
Do you want to change or cancel your order?
If you are very quick it might be possible. Since we deliver fast, any changes often come too late. Anyway, send us an email at hello[@]pleinpublique.com and who knows!
Complaint? Haven't you heard about warranty up to your door?... Just kidding, ofcourse.
It can happen, after all, it’s clothing. Send an email to hello[@]pleinpublique.com and we will always take your complaint seriously. Don't be shy.
