“So disappointed. These shoes having purchased same design before have changed. It has been such a worry returning them. The Post Office wanted over £8. Was so shocked.”

Hello Thank you for your review. Unfortunately, sometimes styles do change over time to improve the product this can be visual or within the material. I’m sorry to hear the price quoted at the post office, when posting them back to us, we recommend a Royal Mail second class tracked service for as little as £3.30. We do also provide a link on our website to produce a collect plus label for £4.50. You can also return your shoes to our local stores for free, with our 365-day return policy. Kind regards Michael Customer Services

“Did not send correct boots when ordered online, sent cheaper sued boots. Had to take them back to local store in Stockton on Tees (Teesside Park). They gave me a refund and reordered the original boots that were requested which we received by post today. I must say the store staff were very good and helpfull.”

“I ordered 2 pairs of boots. The reason was I had eventually found the specific pair I was looking for and the second pair were too good to turn down in the sale. Unfortunately the specific boots I wanted were not the ones delivered. I was extremely dissapointed. I had to make three attempts to contact them to arrange the return of the boots. I was offered a refund but what I really wanted was my specific boots.”

Hello Thank you for your review. I’m sorry to hear the boot you received wasn’t as expected. After investigating, I can see the image on our website is slightly different to the stock we have available (brown stitching instead of the advertised red). We have raised this to our photography team, and it will be amended ASAP. I can understand your disappointment if you were looking for this exact style, so I hope you will accept our sincere apologies for any upset this has caused. As soon as we have received your return, we’ll refund you as requested. Kind regards Michael

Hello Thank you for your review. I’m so sorry to hear about the delay with your order. Unfortunately, it’s due to the Royal Mail strikes and the time of year. Couriers are under additional pressure, so some deliveries are taking a little longer than usual. Please accept our apologies for the inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael

“I ordered boots from your website, information re delivery was misleading and took 6 days, which was not within 5 days or over 7 and not what your emails led me to believe. However, the staff in your Warwick Store were amazing, always friendly and helpful and I would shop with them again. I would give your staff 5 stars.”

Thank you for your review. Our free delivery service is a dispatch within 5 working days, this means that you should have the order within 6 working days. On occasion if our warehouse has sold out, we recall an item from one of our stores and this is why sometimes an order may take a little longer as it comes to us first for inspection. We are sorry if you thought that our service was slow on this occasion. I am so pleased to hear that you had a good expreience in our Warwick store and thank you for sharing this with us. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I had to return the parcel today's I got the wrong color in confusion of what was shown online. Hopefully will get my corrected color show back again soon. Process of return wasn't simple though.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the shoe colour was not what you wanted. With regard to returns, you can take them back to any Charles Clinkard store, or pop them in the post to us, there is a tear off address label on the invoice. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Website was good. Order came quickly. However, and it’s a big issue for me, you don’t do free returns. With two large boxes of boots (5 pairs) it will cost me a fortune to get these back to you by recorded delivery so will need to do a 40 mile round trip to your closest store at some point in the next month so that I can return for ‘free’. Shan’t be ordering from you again unless it’s something I know for sure will fit me.”

Thank you for your review. We do deliver free of charge, but ask customers to cover the cost of returns. On our website there is a link to Collect + where for £4.49, you can send back up to 10 kilos. This would allow you to send several pair of shoes back at the same time. You are emailed a label and can print it out to attach to your package and take to your nearest Collect + point. This may be something that may help. Alternatively, you can wait and take back to store, you have up to one year to return so long as unworn. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“My boots were advertised as wide fit, but unfortunately they are most definitely not! Such a shame as I would love to wear them”

Helpful Report

Posted 2 years ago

Thank you for your review and sharing your findings with regard to the fitting of these lovely boots which will help others when they are looking for something for themselves. You may find that if you buy the next size up, this will increase the area within the boot and feel much more comfortable especially if you would like to wear socks. It doesnt work for everyone, but may be worth trying to see if the comfort is better for you. We do hope that you find something that is a better fit for you. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The service in the shop has always been very good and I have always been very happy with quality of purchases. I recently ordered some boots online however, to be delivered to the shop in Newcastle and only found out after querying by email that they’d been waiting in the shop for me. I had no notification they’d arrived.”

“Have received excellent service over recent years from the staff at Charles Clinkard. Unfortunately not the case from a newish branch in Cheshire, no one contacted me when my order was in store. Hopefully this was a one-off as great range of quality shoes and boots.”

Thank you for your review. We are really sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the service that you received in store in Cheshire. There was a dispatch email sent to you to let you know that the order was on the way, but the store should have called to let you know when they arrived, we apologise if this was not done. We look forward to seeing you shop with us again in the future, and hope that you find that the service is better next time. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“When ordering boots in store l thought the delivery was to be 3/5 days however another 2/3 is added by royal mail rather misleading!”

Thank you for your review. Our free delivery service is 3 to 5 days to dispatch, we do have a speedier paid service if needed sooner. With Royal Mail at ther moment there are delays due to disputes, you can ask for a courier if you prefer. I hope that this helps for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

Thank you for your review. Our free standard delivery is 3 to 5 working days to dispatch. We usually get things our sooner, but occasionally if we have run out of a product in our warehouse, we ask one of our stores to supply the stock from their own holding room, and have to wait for them to arrive with us. We apologise that on this occasion that you have had to wait. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Ordered lilac crocs online while they were in stock only to receive them in a different colour. Went to the store in person and they said that the colour was out of stock… even when I ordered them while they were in stock… they sent me a random colour.”

Hello Thank you for your review. I have located your order for the lavender Crocs, I’m sorry to hear you did not receive the colour you ordered. This should have been inspected by our dispatch team before being sent out. We are expecting a new batch to be delivered in March for the colour and size you requested. I’m sorry for any inconvenience caused. Kind regards Michael Customer services

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. I am sorry you're that you're unhappy with our returns policy. As you suggested, you cover the cost of sending items back to us. There are cheaper options, such as Collect + or asking Royal Mail for a cheaper insurance, you can also return to any of our retail branches - https://www.charlesclinkard.co.uk/map. I hope with the above in mind you will consider shopping with us again. Kind regards Rosie, Customer Services
