Back-Order Policy
Out of stock doesn't mean unavailable.
ALIO products that show as out of stock can still be ordered. By placing a back-order, you acknowledge and accept the following:
- Your order will be fulfilled within 14–21 working days from the date of confirmed payment.
- You will receive an email confirmation with an estimated dispatch window at the time of ordering.
- You will receive a further email notification once your order has been dispatched with a tracking number.
- If your item cannot be fulfilled within the stated window, ALIO will contact you directly with an updated timeframe or offer a full refund.
Back-orders are processed in the order they are received. If demand is high, your place in the queue is secured from the moment payment is confirmed.

Deposit & Payment Options
50% now. 50% before dispatch.
ALIO offers a 50% deposit option on all products. This allows you to secure your order with half the total amount now and settle the remaining 50% balance at any time before dispatch — using any accepted payment method.
- Deposit: 50% of total order value, payable at checkout.
- Balance: Remaining 50%, payable within 21 days of placing your order, or before dispatch — whichever comes first.
- Payment methods accepted for balance: EFT, card (Visa/Mastercard), or any other method available at checkout.
- Orders are not dispatched until the full balance is settled.
If you have paid a deposit and are ready to settle your balance, contact info@alio.co.za with your order number.
Deposit Forfeiture
Uncollected balances.
Deposits are non-refundable where an order is abandoned by the customer. Specifically:
- If the outstanding balance is not paid within 21 days of the deposit being received, ALIO reserves the right to cancel the order and retain the deposit in full.
- ALIO will send two reminder emails — at 14 days and at 20 days — before cancelling an outstanding order.
- If you are unable to settle within the 21-day window, contact us at info@alio.co.za before the deadline to arrange an extension. Extensions are granted at ALIO's discretion.
- Cancelled back-orders where the deposit has been forfeited are not eligible for a credit note.
Returns & Exchanges
14 days. Unopened only.
Returns are accepted within 14 days of receipt on unopened, unused products only. The product must be in its original, sealed packaging.
- Approved returns are subject to a 20% handling fee calculated on the amount paid.
- Return courier costs are for the customer's account.
- Hair extensions that have been opened, handled or installed are not eligible for return under any circumstances — this is a hygiene requirement, not a commercial one.
- Colour Kits are non-refundable once dispatched. One swap is offered if the shade is not a match — email info@alio.co.za within 30 days.
To initiate a return, email info@alio.co.za with your order number before returning anything. Returns sent without prior authorisation will not be accepted.
