For your security, your billing name and address must match that of the credit card used for payment. We reserve the right to cancel any order that does not match this criteria.
Payment Authorization Holds
When placing an order using a credit card or debit card, two transactions will be posted to your account.
• 1. The issuing bank for your payment card will place a hold on the funds in your account in the amount of your purchase when an order is authorized. This action reserves the funds for the pending charge
• 2. You will subsequently be charged for the order which removes the funds from your account. The charge may vary from the amount of the authorization hold if the order is altered or cancelled prior to shipment
If an order is cancelled, the authorization hold will be removed by the issuing bank. For details on the removal of authorization holds, please contact the issuing bank’s customer service. Because this process is specific to each bank, we regret that we cannot provide assistance with the removal of authorization holds.
Replenishment Service
Enjoy automatic replenishment of many of your favourite Clinique products! Items eligible for this service will appear in your Shopping Bag with a “Replenishment Service” notation—and a pulldown menu that lets you select your desired interval: 30 days, 45 days, 60 days, 75 days, 90 days or 120 days.
To activate automatic replenishment, simply select the time interval for future shipments from the pulldown menu next to the item(s). These products will be automatically shipped to you at the intervals you select. There's no minimum number of products you must order, and you can cancel at any time prior to shipment. And as an additional benefit, you’ll enjoy FREE Standard Shipping with every clinique.com replenishment order.
When your replenishment order is ready to be processed, we will send an email reminder. Within a few days thereafter, your order will be shipped to your default shipping address and charged to your default credit card. You will receive a second email confirming the shipment of the order and that your credit card has been billed.
After your first shipment, replenishment orders can be cancelled and intervals may be changed at any time except once an order has been processed for shipment. To cancel or change your replenishment order, simply click on View/Edit My Replenishment Items in Your Account section of clinique.com. Please note: Intervals must be set for more than 2 business days from the current date.
