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.

Are my items in stock?
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."
Back to top
How do backorders work?
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.

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.

Please be aware that the order confirmation email does contain pricing information for both gift orders and non-gift orders.

I want to exchange for Instant Credit. How does that work?
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.
