Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that your slippers had a sticker on them with a reduced price. They had been reduced, but are now full price. As we have made this error and the sticker was still on the slippers, I have refunded the difference to you and this will show in your account within 4 working days. We apologise for your inconvenience. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The shoes were very good looking and high quality. However, I have quite wide feet and the wide fitting I selected was nowhere near my size - I couldn't get them on! Frustrating..”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you could not get this lovely shoe on. You may find that the one half size bigger gives you more area within the shoe for a more comfortable fit. It would be worth a try for you and you may find that you have found the perfect solution. I do hope that this helps. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Exactly the design and colour I wanted but shoes come up narrow. Im hoping leather will breathe and relax”

Thank you for your review. You may find that the Charles Clinkard Rosela Womens Moccasins is a better fitting, they are very like the shoes that you have but slightly wider. This style may be just what you are looking for. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Boots are lovely and delivery was fast, but when the knee high boots arrived they were crumpled at one end of the box. I think such expensive boots should have had some support inside them or wrapping to protect the leather and shape in transit .”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you were disappointed in the way that the boots were packaged. We agree that the boots should have had some protection in them and we are sorry that this was not the case. I do hope that this has not spoiled the boots. Thank you for letting us know, we will ask the dispatch team to ensure more packaging is put in the box if the supports are missing. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Boots in real life weren't very nice - returning them”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that you did not like the boots. We have a couple of Charles Clinkard stores not too far from you, we do hope that you will be able to take the boots back there where they will arrange for your refund. They will also have other boots in store and you may see that you find something that you like more. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Felt very disappointed that I would Have to pay the postage if I was not happy with the purchase. It would have been acceptable if I was able to return purchase to our local department store that had Clinkard concession.”

Thank you for your review. Unfortunately our till systems in Concession stores are different to our main stores and a refund would not be processed if you return to them. This is something that we are looking at for the future and that in time customers can take back to these stores too. We do deliver free of charge, but do ask cusomers to cover the cost of returns, there is a link on our website to collect+ where for £4.49 you can return up to 10 kilo, or if you have just one item, second class Royal Mail with maybe 80p extra for tracking would be a cheaper option. I hope this information is of help. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I ordered a pair of boots with half the leg comprised of stretch suede. I’m a dress size 8 and 5’ 6” so of average build but couldn’t fasten one of the boots over my calf. The foot size was perfect. Whilst all dealings with the company have been efficient, I would not order again as it cost 12.15 GBP to return by recommended method.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that you have had to return this lovely boot because they were not wide enough on the calf, your comments will help others when they are looking for something for themselves. With regard to returns, you have up to 12 month so long as unworn and can take back to a Charles Clinkard store. You have one within 9 miles of where you live. If you do post, we recommend a tracked service, but you can use this with second class mail bringing the price right down, you do not need to have a next day service which seems to be what you may have opted for. There is also a link to colect + on our website where for the low cost of £4.49 you can buy a tracked label and take the shoes to your nearest collect + store for return. I do hope that this helps for future reference. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I bought the same size of shoe that I always buy in that make but I find them rather tight. To return them I have to pay the postage which I find rather a bind. I have never had to post shoes back to you before and consider this an imposition so I will hope that they stretch in wearing”

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to har that you have found your shoes tight on this occasion. It may be that with wearing sandals etc over the summer that a new enclosed leather shoe does feel tighter. The pairs that you have already will have warmed and stretched to your feet. As this is a lovely soft and supple leather this pair will do the same and hopefully very soon, you will be finding that they are as comfortable as the pairs that you have had in the past. Kind regards Janice - customer services

“Order processed quickly ,not impressed with return options .Post office special delivery was the only straight forward way to do the return with sufficient insurance to cover in the event of loss. This has put me off using you again.”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review. We do cover the cost of delivery to our customers, and you can either return an unwanted item to one of our stores, or return by post. Most people return using second class Royal Mail and add tracking, this allows for you to see when it arrives with us. There is a link on our website to collect+ where for £4.49, you can return up to 10 kilo for this one lower price. We do have a Concession branch not to far from you, and although you cannot take back there items bought on line, you may find that they have the items that you would like and if not that they can get them for you. I hope that this information is of help. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The email confirmation of my order said a tracking number would be sent. But none was received. Exactly same as my previous order.”

Helpful Report

Posted 1 year ago

Thank you for your review. I am sorry that you were waiting for a tracking number, you had opted for a collection from the store, so this is sent differently to orders that are going direct to customers as we send all orders for that store in one package. When it is a collect in store, the store contacts you to let you know that it is ready for collection once it arrives. We apologise for any confusion. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“Ordering with Charles Clinkard is fine and speedy, but the delivery service from the Post office isn't. I had two failed delivery attempts with no time slots given. They informed me of their first failed attempt by email two hours after they tried to deliver it, which wasn't helpful. I eventually redirected it to my local post office, it was just by chance I called in, as again they had not contacted me with a time to pick it up. Other delivery services give you a time slot the post office say "before 7:30pm" which is not helpful.”

Thank you for your feedback. It's disappointing to hear about your experience with Royal Mail. As you suggested, normally you receive some correspondence concerning your delivery, before they attempt it or when it has been successful. I'm sorry that on this occasion you didn't. Please be assured, I will pass your comments to them and I hope in future you will not come across this issue again. Kind regards, Rosie, Customer Services

“Paid returns!!!”

Hello Thank you for leaving a review. I am sorry you are disappointed in our returns policy, as stated in our terms and conditions we do not cover the cost of any returns. You can return your order to any of our retail Charles Clinkard stores for free within 365 days of purchase if the shoes are unworn outside. We do offer a wide range of options to return your order to us.

“Order arrived reasonably quickly and the shoes are as I expected, so I'm pleased with that. However I was disappointed that the other pair I ordered were out of stock and couldn't be delivered, so Charles Clinkard cancelled that element of the order. I am puzzled as to why something out of stock is available to be ordered by a customer!”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry that this item was out of stock and we had to cancel it from your order. The item that was cancelled was to be sent out direct from the merchandiser and it was not until after we requested it that they let us know that it was not available at the moment. The item that was sent, was from our own warehouse. We apologise sincerely for your inconvenience and hope that the item will be available again for you soon. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“The shoes are good and the style is what I like. However, the size is slightly too big although I have bought shoes from you before and the size was fine. I have worn them now so they can't be returned, that's the trouble with closing the Cambridge store and shopping online. Newmarket could do with a decent shoe shop!”

Hello Thank you for your review. We are please to hear you like the style of the shoe; however, we are sorry to hear about the fitting. We do recommend wearing the shoes around the house to try out the fit, before wearing outside. I’m sorry to hear your local store has closed, if you ever need assistances on different methods of returning your shoes to us, please don’t hesitate to contact us. Kind regards Michael

“Beautifully made, nice design but unfortunately there is a sewn in label right under the heel which made them very uncomfortable. I could feel every stitch even with thicker socks. Luckily we have a very good cobbler in town. He is currently replacing the inner soul so I can wear them. I did think of returning then but could not find another boot that was as elegant so I decided I would prefer to have the soul with label replaced. I think I will be very happy with them now. Unfortunate, as they were not cheap.”
