Pickle Protection Policy: Owner

You are protected when lending out your items on Pickle. Here is exactly what you are covered for and how Renters are held liable.

Updated this week

You Are Protected When:

  • Your item is returned damaged beyond normal wear

    • If your item is returned with damage beyond normal wear, the Renter is responsible for repair costs or replacement if the item cannot be repaired.

    • To start a damage claim, you must:

      • Document the damage in the condition report

      • Contact Pickle Support within 48 hours of return

      • Provide photos and, if needed, a note from a tailor or cleaner quoting the cost to repair the damage or confirming the item cannot be repaired

    • See more in: Damage (Lender)

  • Your item is lost or not returned

    • If a Renter does not return your item, Pickle will help you replace it with an item of similar value and condition.

      • In the case that no such replacement is available, we will process a reimbursement at your original purchase price

    • To receive a replacement, you must provide proof of purchase or receipt

Situations That Do Not Qualify for Protection:

  • Sending out an item that is not ready to wear

    • Protection does not apply when an item is sent out dirty, altered without disclosure, or not as described. In these cases, the renter is eligible for a refund and must return the item to you. To avoid this, always make sure the item is clean, ready-to-wear, and be sure to document the condition of the item using Condition Reporting.

      • If you send an item out that is not ready to wear, you may be liable for the delivery & return costs.

  • Normal wear and tear

    • Some light signs of use are expected in rentals and do not fall under damage coverage. These do not qualify for repair costs or replacement. Examples include:

      • Deodorant marks

      • Wrinkles or creasing

      • Small washable stains

      • Slight pilling

      • Minor scuffs

    • These are considered a normal part of the rental process.

    • See more in: Damage (Lender)

  • Damage reported after the 48 hour window

    • To ensure fairness and clear responsibility, all damage concerns must be reported within 48 hours of the item being returned.

    • If more time has passed, we are not able to review or process the claim. This is in order to protect integrity on both sides of the marketplace.
