Fraud & Chargebacks:

NOCTEX strives to provide quality garments and customer service to our customers, and we are more than happy to help with order issues. Customers will always receive an email for cancelled orders notifying them if items are sold out, if the order was flagged as fraudulent, if a payment is incomplete/denied, or if there is another problem with an order.

SOLD OUT ITEMS: Should a refund email notification be received by a customer for a single item in an order with multiple items, this indicates the single item is sold out, and unavailable to be sent. Customers may also receive an email giving the option to switch out the color or size of an item, or a cancelled order email if all items in an order are unavailable. Refunds should be processed within 24 hours of an above notification, if funds were processed. If there is an issue with the refund being processed, it is advised to contact the buyer’s bank or credit card company before contacting NOCTEX.
FRAUDULENT ORDERS: Should an order be flagged as fraudulent, the customer may be contacted via the email address attached to the flagged order to verify their identity. Verification may be provided with a picture of a piece of mail or other identification which matches the name and/or shipping address used on the flagged order. High risk fraud orders will automatically be cancelled and refunded, and the customer will be notified.
INCOMPLETE/DENIED PAYMENT: Should the payment method for an order be incomplete or denied, the payment will not be processed. The order will be cancelled and refunded if applicable, or the order will not be fulfilled or shipped out.
INCORRECT OR DAMAGED ITEMS: Should an item in an order be incorrect, or received damaged due to a factory defect (ie., item was damaged PRIOR to transit), the customer must contact NOCTEX within 3 days of receiving the incorrect/damaged item in order to begin a return or exchange, or receive store credit, as stated above in our policies as well as at our Returns Center.

This fee may be anywhere between $5-$100USD, depending on the fee NOCTEX is charged. A screenshot of the fee amount is available upon request.

I love it!

I've been wanting this dress for a long time and I finally got it! It is exactly what I wanted and fits wonderfully while being very comfortable. My word of advice is to size down. I was originally going to go for a S but went with an XS as it mentioned the bust and waist are very forgiving and it was the right choice. It's loose and comfortable but still has a nice shape to it.

In love at first but it shrunk

I bought and small and medium, returned the small as the medium fit perfect. Wore it once, washed it per the tag instructions, tried to wear it again and it had shrunk. Ordered a large to see if maybe it will not be too big and maybe it'll shrink to a size medium. Really sad because this was my new favorite garment.

The best summer dress

I love this dress so much I bought another one!

Cute- wish for & function was better

It’s soft but I wish the under bra part actually fit. It didn’t come close to having a full coverage effect, and sits about halfway across my bust making An awkward line of fabric. For reference, I am a 44 B bra size with my busy being about 48 inches across total. The hips are a little tight / form fitting more than I’d like and it comes up shorter on me then the models, I am 5’10 so that not too surprising. I love the style of this dress and it’s nice on very warm days but I wouldn’t order it again.

Love it!

It’s exactly what I was looking for. Great fit, comfortable and light fabric, and I love knowing that the company is Vancouver based.
