Will I be charged sales tax on my order?
Items sold by Bare Necessities are subject to tax when shipped to destinations in: AL, AR, AZ, CA, CO, CT, DC, FL, GA, IA, ID, IL, IN, KS, KY, LA, MA, MD, ME, MI, MN, MO, MS, NC, ND, NE, NJ, NM, NY, NV, OH, OK, PA, RI, SC, SD, TN, TX, UT, VA, VT, WA, WI, WV and WY. Any applicable tax will be applied to the price you pay for taxable items, less any and all extra savings.
How do I place a tax exempt order?
Eligible governmental, non-profit, charitable and similar organizations should email all tax-exempt requests to
taxexempt@barenecessities.com. Please specify the order number of the Bare Necessities order for which the exemption is requested and include a copy of applicable state or federal exemption certificates. Eligible tax exemptions will be processed by Bare Necessities and tax will be refunded to the original payment method. Bare Necessities does not store the tax-exempt status for any organization. Please email
taxexempt@barenecessities.com for each order placed on barenecessities.com.
Bare Necessities does not honor resale exemption certificates, as purchases for resale are against the Bare Necessities Terms of Use.
We offer real-time inventory. You can check if any item is available on each product page by selecting the size and color you need. If the color/size combination is no longer available, a message will show up in
red stating "
This color/size combination is no longer available."
If the size/color you need is on backorder, a message will show up underneath the ADD TO BAG button stating Ships 2-3 weeks or Ships 6-8 weeks. You can still place an order for these items, and we recommend doing so to save your place in line! Once we receive your item back in stock, we will ship it out to you for no additional shipping cost!
Charging for backorders:
When you place your order, there will be a pending authorization hold on the total amount of the order; this charge drops a few business days after the purchase. You are not charged for backordered items until they ship. Once we receive the items in stock, we will ship them out to you via our Standard Shipping method (5-7 business days) at no additional charge. When the items ship, you will be charged for the merchandise and any applicable tax.
If backorders are discounted:
Sometimes your backordered items will get broken up into separate shipments based on availability. If the items carry a discount or promotion, the last items that ship will carry the discount or "free" status.
For example, say you take advantage of a Buy 2 Get 1 Free promotion and order 9 pairs of Maidenform Comfort Devotion hipsters that are backordered 2-3 weeks. We may receive a partial shipment and send you 6 pairs. You would be charged for the 6 pairs as they ship. The following week, we may receive another shipment from the vendor, then those 3 will ship out to you free of charge and free of any shipping charges since the final items to ship ALWAYS carry the discount.
When can I use Afterpay?
We accept Afterpay on U.S. orders that are between $1 - $2000.
Afterpay cannot be used to purchase gift certificates or backordered items,
or to place orders requiring gift receipts. Afterpay cannot be combined with the
redemption of gift certificates, vouchers or store credit.
When can I use Apple Pay?
We accept Apple Pay on compatible devices on U.S. orders.
Apple Pay cannot be used to purchase gift certificates, to place orders requiring gift receipts or to place orders shipped to APO/FPO addresses.
Orders purchased using Apple Pay cannot redeem gift certificates, vouchers or store credit.
When can I use Visa Checkout?
We accept Visa Checkout for U.S. orders. Visa Checkout accounts can use any major credit or debit card to pay for a purchase.
What are my payment options?
Online, we accept Visa, MasterCard, American Express, Discover, Apple Pay, Visa Checkout, Afterpay and PayPal. You can also place an order over the phone (877.728.9272, option 1), by
mail or fax.
When will I be billed?
You will be billed when your package is shipped from our fulfillment center, unless Afterpay is used as the payment method. We usually ship in- stock items within 1-3 business days, excluding holidays.
If you cancel your order prior to shipment, you will not be billed.
Afterpay orders are billed according to Afterpay’s schedule, which can be viewed on
Afterpay.com.
How do I order by Mail or Fax?
Is it safe to use my credit card?
Yes, shopping at Bare Necessities is safe. Our secure server software encrypts information,
ensuring that Internet transactions stay private and protected. We use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)
technology, considered the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, to protect the security
of your credit card information as it is transmitted to us.
Under the Fair Credit Billing Act, your bank or credit card company cannot hold you liable for more than
$50 of unauthorized or fraudulent charges on a credit card. Your liability for unauthorized use of a debit card may be
higher, but most debit card issuers voluntarily apply the $50 limit to their cards, as well. If your bank does hold you
liable for any amount up to $50, Bare Necessities will cover the liability imposed on you, up to $50. Bare Necessities
will cover this amount only if the unauthorized use of your credit card occurred at Bare Necessities, as determined by your
credit card company, and through no fault of your own. You must notify your card provider, in accordance with the
agreement you have with the company, if unauthorized use of your credit or debit card does occur.
Is gift wrapping available?
At this time, we do not offer gift wrapping services, although you may designate your purchase as a gift during checkout. We take great pride in our packaging. Each order is carefully wrapped in delicate tissue and placed inside an unmarked shipping box or shipping envelope. Bare Necessities packing slips for gifts do not contain pricing information. Please be aware that the order confirmation email does contain pricing information for both gift orders and non-gift orders.
Are gift receipts available?
Yes! During checkout, you will have an opportunity to designate your order as a gift. Bare Necessities packing slips for gifts serve as gift receipts, as they do not contain pricing information. Please be aware that the order confirmation email does contain pricing information for both gift orders and non-gift orders.
Where can I enter a coupon or promotional code?
Occasionally we
offer coupon or promotional codes to our customers. To use one of these codes,
please enter the code on the "bag" page of our checkout process. If you
place your order over the phone, please inform the customer service representative that
you have a code. Only one coupon code may be used per order.
How do I change my membership information?
Personal information relating to you and your order history are only available to you if you provide the correct password that you create.
To access your private information, you first sign in
here,
and then you can edit or delete your information through the "my account" page.
Your email address can only be changed by calling us at 1.877.728.9272.
How much do you charge for shipping?
Your shipping options and costs will vary based on your delivery address and package weight. Some states require we collect sales tax on shipping costs. Your actual shipping charges will be reflected at checkout.
Shipping fees are not refundable unless we fail to meet our service level for guaranteed shipping for in-stock items. Weather, natural disasters and other uncontrollable events can interrupt transportation flow, and the delivery of your package might be delayed. We apologize for any inconvenience.

Who pays for return shipping?
If you are returning a purchase, you are responsible for the return shipping. When we process your return, a fee of $6.95 will be deducted from your return credit if you choose to use the printed label through our

In our
Online Returns & Exchanges process, you may elect to receive your refund as an Instant Credit Voucher that you can use immediately to place your exchange order.
Instant Credit Vouchers are valid for a limited time. Any unused balance on an Instant Credit Voucher will be issued as a refund in accordance with our standard refund policy when our returns center receives your merchandise.
Instant Credit may be offered as a refund option on U.S. orders of $500 or less. Only one Instant Credit Voucher can be created per order. If the order was purchased using an Instant Credit Voucher, subsequent exchanges or returns will not be offered as an Instant Credit Voucher. In using an Instant Credit Voucher as payment, you are waiving your right to receive that amount of your refund back to your original payment method. Bare Necessities may, at its sole discretion, deny Instant Credit as a refund option to a customer.
