“Ordering from Charles Clinkard is fine if you keep the item/s but you have to pay the return postage yourself which is a pain!”

With regards to returns, we offer a competitive UK standard delivery , however we do ask customers to pay the return cost. You can return to a Charles Clinkard store or to our Head Office. We recommend a tracked service, as we do not take responsibility for the parcel until it has been signed for at our Head Office. A Collect Plus label can be purchased through the returns section of our website, this standardises the price to £4.49. This covers up to 10kg of returns and is useful for multiple purchases or heavier items.

“I have sent the shoes back immediately on their receipt as the shade was different on each. I have written to Clinkard to ask why their return hasn’t been acknowledged and was informed that I would be contacted shortly. That was last week. I still have had no confirmation regarding what is to happen next. I did ask for a replacement pair, without anomalies, on the form I returned but I don’t know if there are any remaining. If not I expect a refund sooner rather than later. Most disappointing. Annette Keeler.”

Hello Thankyou for your review. We are sorry you received odd coloured shoes Our Customer Services Team have now been in touch regarding this. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“I knew the shoes I order were clearance stock but was very disappointed that one shoe had clearly been used very frequently to try for size as was darker in colour and leather had been stretched. I have just checked and you can still buy the size I ordered so obviously was not the last pair.”

“Not impressed by having to pay to return a product for an exchange - really feel this should be free if requiring an exchange. Due to this I would probably not shop with you again.”

“My 10% discount didn’t appear so didn’t get 10% off disappointed”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We are sorry the discount code did not apply, we can see this was attempted and have contacted you via the order with further information Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“The website showed a special offer which wasn’t applicable to the items I ordered, even though the T’s and C’s definitely didn’t show any reason to exclude them. Customer service eventually sorted it out over the phone, but the call took ages. It wasn’t made clear that returns aren’t free. This is a ridiculous policy for a shoe retailer, whose products really need to be tried on before buying. Loads of hassle. I won’t be ordering from this retailer again.”

“Purchase arrived on time and staff notified me of its arrival so it could be collected. They also advised me of a difference in colour between the two shoes. When I went to collect it was as though two different colour shoes had been placed in the box. Very disappointing. Staff were apologetic ( although not their fault) and processed a refund. First time I've shopped online with clinkards and not a good start.”

“When I ordered the boots I saw that they cost €90 but when I got to the bottom line I noticed that VAT was added afterwards and the postage which came to €114 which I thought was very expensive. Surely footwear prices are always shown including VAT. This is the first time that I have seen it added afterwards so I was disappointed.”

Hello Thank you for taking the time to leave a review. You're correct, the VAT is inclusive in the price of the boots - €99.95. The extra added was for postage costs overseas. I am sorry for any confusion caused but if you would like to discuss anything further, our Customer Services Team will be more than happy to help. Kind regards, Rosie, Customer Services.

“It was for my little boys first pair lf shoes, I found the staff obtuse and rude. I was very disappointed and unimpressed as I used to work for the company myself when I was alot younger and we always prided ourselves on good service with a smile. Clearly not something that's important to the company now.”

“I made an initial enquiry before making a purchase but the assistant clearly did not understand the meaning of the sizing on the sandals. Otherwise, the delivery time was very quick. It's a shame one person let down what would have been a 5 star rating.”
