TRYING ON AND RETURNING SHOES
Please Please Please try shoes on INDOORS with socks. If you do not like them or need to change them for a larger or smaller size, please return them in PERFECT and RE-SELLABLE CONDITION, (without being worn outside), marking the package "RETURNED GOODS" and enclose a note explaining action required.
Please package the shoes when returning rather than writing on the box, -often the original packaging can be reused.
Enclose a note or use the return form (on back of invoice) requesting action required.
Customers must pay to return the goods to us. We dispatch a second pair at no extra postage cost (UK only).
Overseas customers must also send postage when returning for a different size or style. We will charge the (encrypted) card used for the original order unless instructed otherwise.

PayPal and Credit card orders automatically convert (e.g. US Dollars) into UK Pounds. Credit cards are authorized at time of order download but are only charged when goods are shipped. Please note: although funds are not taken when a card is authorized, they are allocated/reserved until the order is dispatched. -This may appear on your bank statement as a transaction, but this should clear once the actual charge has been made.
We sometimes accept payment by bank wire if credit card or cheque is not possible. Please remember that banks often charge for this and the customer must pay all the bank charges.
Cheques: Are to be made payable to VEGETARIAN SHOES LTD (UK only)
Bank Wire: To order and pay by bank wire please contact information@vegetarian-shoes.co.uk with full delivery address and order details.

E.U Customers DO NOT pay customs charges. We send E.U. orders as D.D.P. (Delivered Duty Paid). So no extra customs charges need to be paid on delivery.
For all non-E.U. customers local customs charges may apply on delivery.
