Pastori SALE & RETURN POLICY
Like all of our Style Box partners, once an item has been purchased (meaning, payment for the item has been processed on the platform), it is exchange only.
For any items either “not kept” from the Style Box, or, to be exchanged, the items must be in good condition with original boxes and all tags. Please make sure to relay this to your client prior to sending the box so they are aware!
Shoes and belts must be in unworn condition and packaged in sellable condition. If any unkept items are returned in unacceptable condition, the product will be returned to you and your customer will be charged.
Restocking or $0 BOX FEES
Restocking Fee ($0 Boxes, where no items are kept): $30 will be billed to your account for any Style Box that is returned with $0 kept/0 items kept. It is rare nothing is kept, however, this fee is required by our partners to ensure their fulfillment and shipping costs are not lost.

About Pastori
Pastori is a men’s footwear brand that combines comfort and fashion. “For so long “comfort” shoes have been, well, rather unattractive, the realm of Eastern European travelers. Fortunately, men no longer have to choose between comfort and good looks.” Pastori offers elegance and functionality.
Pastori shoes are made in Italy, created with a special technique that is not found often due to the extra steps, it is called Bologna Construction. This type of craftsmanship results in a very soft and flexible shoe that is made to last years. Pastori uses this mode of shoemaking exclusively.

Q: HOW IS Pastori DIFFERENT THAN OTHER PARTNERS?
A: With comfort and elegance in mind, Pastori is the number one footwear brand for traditional gents.
Q: HOW DO pastori STYLE BOXES LOOK WHEN THEY ARRIVE TO MY CLIENT?
A: The boxes arrive in plain, non-branded packaging with basic information inside: Pastori will include your branded “packing slip” (your logo and all!) with an item list for your client and instructions for try on and shipping back inside the box!
Q: CAN I ADD OTHER ITEMS ONTO A Pastori STYLE BOX INVOICE MYSELF?
A: You can add CUSTOM or SERVICE items onto your Style Box invoice, but not other Ready-to-Wear items, and no “credits” (negative misc. items). You can use our Shopping Extension to make it super easy!
Q: CAN I ADD ITEMS FROM DIFFERENT PARTNERS INTO THE SAME STYLE BOX INVOICE?
A: See above - please do not put items from different Garmentier partners onto the same invoice! You may send a Style Box from multiple partners to your client simultaneously, but, they cannot be combined into one invoice, and will not be shipped together.
Q: CAN GARMENTIER SCHEDULE FEDEX OR UPS PICK-UPS FOR ME OR MY CLIENTS?
A: Currently, we’re unable to schedule pick-ups for boxes as it is a paid service from UPS and FedEx. However, if you’d like to extend that to your clients yourself, you’re welcome to!
Q: WHY DON’T EXTRA DISCOUNTS OR PROMOTIONAL SALES APPLY WHEN SHOPPING FROM VARIOUS PARTNERS?
A: Each partner has their own policies regarding sale and commissions - we’re just here to respect them! Because our partners are providing a free service for Style Boxes as well as commission, they do not have the margin to pay out commission on sale items - especially when a promotion is going on! We promise we’ll always do our best to give you and your clients the best prices and experiences possible, while being respectful to the needs of our partners. Have specific questions? We’re happy to answer. Email us at info@garmentier.co .
Q: WHY IS THERE A RESTOCK FEE FOR $0 BOXES?
A: Retailers expend time, money and resources to prep, package, and ship pulls or style boxes. When these pulls or boxes come back back as a full-return, the retailer loses money - and we want to protect your ability to continue to work with them! In order to maintain great partnerships, it’s our job to ensure we are all carefully curating what’s sent out or pulled - and that enabling you to sell for them helps, not hurts, all parties.
Q: DO MOST STYLISTS CHARGE THEIR CLIENTS A FEE FOR THE STYLE BOX SERVICE?
A: We won’t tell you what to do, but if you want our opinion: if it takes you time, it’s a billable service! Shopping online for clients is just as much of an effort as anything else - albeit, a smaller time commitment (which is why we love it!). Yes, you’ll make commission, and that’s great - but you are spending time curating pieces for your clientele. Don’t undervalue your expertise or be afraid to charge for your Style Box service! As for how much - you’ll know what’s right.
