How does it work?

When you select pay after delivery at the checkout you can purchase with one click without adding any payment details. Once confirmed, you will receive an email from Klarna explaining how to pay for your goods at a later date and we'll send out your order as usual. If you decide you're not happy with your order you can simply return it to us and the money will never leave your account.

If using the pay later option, your order will need to be paid 30 days after. If using the pay in three option, your first payment will be taken automatically from your card when you place your order. The next two payments will be automatically charged on your payment method 30 and 60 days later.

I have been redirected to Klarna’s site, is that correct?

If you have chosen to Pay Later (Klarna) Klarna will send you an email with further details on how to pay. Your email will contain a link to Klarna where you can settle your payment with your credit or debit card. If you do not pay Klarna within the grace period, late fees may apply.

Who is Klarna?

Klarna is a payment service provider, from Sweden, who take end-to-end responsibility for your payment. They support 60 million consumers worldwide in over 70,000 online stores and are very safe to use.

If Klarna gives me the option to Pay Later within 30 days, does a credit search take place against me?

Neither Klarna nor EGO run credit searches against you that could impact your credit rating. Klarna may run a quotation search which is an enquiry which only you, and no other companies, can see and which does not affect credit scoring.

How does Klarna Pay After Delivery work?

After Skinnydip London has sent your order, you will receive an email with payment instructions, telling you when you need to pay by 30 days after the order is shipped. If you do not have your email to hand, you can contact Klarna’s Customer Service here

What do I need to provide when I make a purchase?

If you want to make a purchase with Klarna you need to provide your name, address and email address. For some orders you may need to provide your mobile number or date of birth, too. All information will be sent to your email address, including payment reminders and links to your online statements. It's very important, that you give us the correct details, as otherwise you will not receive the payment information and so be liable for delayed payment fees.

Is my payment information safe?

Payment information is processed securely by Klarna. No card details are transferred to or held by Skinnydip London. All transactions take place via connections secured with the latest industry standard security protocols.

Why have I not been offered Pay After Delivery?

Although Pay Later is widely promoted it is not always universally available. The Pay Later method is automatically generated by algorithms that are dependent upon a number of factors including the amount of the order, the e-store, previous order history and item availability. Alternatively, you are able to complete your order by paying by credit or debit card at the checkout.

What are my payment options with Klarna?

You can pay immediately with debit or credit card (Visa/Mastercard) in the checkout or take advantage of our Pay Later payment option, where you can pay for the goods once you have received them via debit or credit card.

How do I pay for my order?

If you have received your goods and want to pay, either log in at www.klarna.com or click the link from the email Klarna sent you regarding this order. If you cannot log in to pay, contact Klarna’s Customer Service here

Have you received my payment?

If you pay by card, Skinnydip London will confirm your order right away. If paying by Pay Later, Klarna will send you a payment confirmation to the email address that you have used for your order. If you have made a payment but not received the payment confirmation, you can always check the status of your order and payments by logging in at www.klarna.com.

What should I do if I want to cancel my order?

If you would like to cancel your order, we ask you to contact the store where you made your purchase.

I have cancelled my order. How long will it take until I receive my refund if I paid by card?

As soon as the store have registered your cancellation or your return, the refund will be processed within 10 business days.

With Pay Later, what should I do if I want to return part or all of my order?

If you are close to your Pay Later payment due date, you should also contact our Customer Service who will make any necessary adjustments to the statement and provide further help if needed.

What happens to my invoice, when I've returned the goods?

Once the store has received the return (partial or full) and you have received their confirmation of this, an updated statement will be closed.

I've received an invoice, but I've not yet received my goods

With Klarna’s Pay Later, you have 30 days to pay, so you don’t need to pay right away. If your due date is near and there is no sign of your goods, please call or email customer services to check on your delivery. You can also contact Klarna Customer Service so that they can postpone the due date on your payment.

How will I be refunded?

If you have paid for your order with card, the refund will be made back to the same card. If you paid using bank transfer, you will need to provide Klarna with your IBAN number in order for Klarna to make the repayment. If you have not paid the invoice yet, then the refund will reduce the invoice or cancel it completely.

What if I don’t pay on time?

If you do not pay within 30 days of receiving your Klarna invoice you may be subject to charges; if you do not pay the balance within 30 days of receiving your invoice Klarna will send you a reminder, after your first reminder, if you do not pay the balance, Klarna will send you another reminder, followed by a third reminder after this if you have not paid the balance. If after your third reminder you have still not paid the balance your details will be passed to a debt collection agency which may affect your credit rating. In addition, each reminder may carry an additional charge of up to £8.
