About Pre-Sample Pre-Orders
What is a "pre-sample" pre-order?
This is when you pre-order an item that doesn’t have a physical example yet. Rest assured, if you want to pre-order then change your mind, you can get a refund with no questions asked!
The pre-sample pre-order item is in digital form as a drawing! This represents what the final product will look like!
Why should I order before seeing the finished product?
If you participate in pre-ordering you get exclusive discounts and freebies! It’s a way to thank you for supporting me!
As a small business I have to work in batches and creating samples is very expensive. Rest assured that if you pre-order, your hard earned money is going straight towards the development of the designs you love!
You’ll receive timelines and updates about samples and production via email, as well as on the blog!
What are batches? What if the quota isn't met?
Since I’m a small business, I have to work in small batches. There are two batches available per design depending on the success of the first pre-order.
1st Batch ~ 135 Units: If quota is met, second batch becomes available for purchase while the first one starts the sampling and production phase.
2nd Batch ~ 135 Units: If quota is met, production begins. It may ship out later than the first batch.
If the goal of 135 units isn't met, you’ll be refunded in full, and the pre-orders will start over.
You will receive updates about your order via email. If you have questions, contact me at info@loveneptune.shop!
How long before a sample is made?
This can take anywhere from 2-7 months, but there will be timelines available on the product page as well as emails sent out with updates!
Is it REALLY going to look like the drawing?
Absolutely! I will be working closely with my manufacturer to assure that my designs come out as close as possible to how they’re drawn. There may be minor differences considering fabric and materials, but no major differences!
Can I get a refund?
Of course! Returns and refunds are welcome throughout the pre-sample phase. Once I have a sample made then there will be a 2 week grace period just in case you don’t like the finished product and want to get a refund.
Once the two week period is over and the pre-order phase begins, you cannot get a refund.

Where are the size charts?
Size charts will always be available when a pre-sample pre-order launches. However, size charts are subject to change as the sample is being worked on, but no worries as you’ll be updated with every change so you can be comfortable with your product!
The size chart changes will only be within a few inches. (Ex. Size medium bust measurement changed from 34-36 inches to 36-38)
Can I change the size I chose?
Yes! You can change the size up until the regular pre-order phase begins! If you need to change it after the pre-orders start, contact me as soon as possible!
About Pre-Orders
What is a "pre-order"?
A pre-order is when you buy a product from me before it has begun production! The reason I do this is because it is incredibly expensive to produce a collection and there would be no guarantee anyone would buy from me.
Pre-orders are just a guaranteed way for me to gauge how many people are actually interested in my product, and a way to fund production so I can bring the designs you love to life!
Can I get a refund?
Refunds are subject to a 15% restocking fee since funds very quickly go into production and business expenses!
If an item is in the pre-sample phase then you can get a refund with no fees! If a product has a sample, then you cannot receive a refund without the restocking fee, as it has probably entered the regular pre-ordering phase.
You are welcome to contact me and change your size!

How long will production take?
Production time depends on how long it takes to create the perfect sample. Here are some estimates…
Sample Timeline ~ 2-7 Months
Bulk Production ~ 4-6 Months
All production timelines will be shared via email and on the blog!
What if there's a delay in production?
If there are any delays you will be notified via email!
If you have any questions about delays, contact me at info@loveneptune.shop!
How Does This Work?
Step 1 - Design
A design is posted on social media, and if it gains enough popularity I’ll post an interest check!
Step 2 - PreOrder Phase
If a design has enough interest, I’ll launch a pre-sample pre-order that lasts 60-90 days.
If the quota of 135 units isn’t met, you’ll receive a full refund! You can request a refund throughout this phase if you change your mind.
Step 3 - Sample & Production
One the quota of 135 units is met, I’ll have a sample made! This can take between 2-7 months depending on the design so it can be perfect.
Cancellations during this phase are subject to a 15% cancellation fee due to funds quickly going into production and business expenses. This is to keep things running smoothly.
