“Service was very good however I ordered two sizes of same shoe and had to pay for return of pair not required. Over the last couple off years I have ordered on line from many companies and have been entitled to free returns even if ordering two sizes of a particular item. Hence the three stars.”

Thank you for your review. We deliver free of charge, but do ask customers to cover the cost of returns, or you can take back to a Charles Clinkard store. There is a link on our webiste to Collect + where for £4.49 you can return up to 10 kilo or you may return by any postal service that you wish.

“My choice of style was great as was the speedy delivery and communication but sadly I paid 20% more than I should as the shoes came with a further reduction sticker still in place which would have made them a far better deal. Note to self - shop around more”

Thank you for your review. Our delivery is free within the UK, but we do ask customers to cover the cost of returns. There is a link on our website with Collect + where you can buy a label for £4.49 and this will cover up to 10 kilo in returns. You can also take to any Charles Clinkard store and they will issue a refund or arrange an exchange for you. We do allow up to a year for this, so long as the shoe is unworn. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I was sent the wrong size of shoe. I made a round trip of 20 miles to return the shoes rather than incur a postal charge. I have now reordered the item in store and await the arrival of the correct size The staff in my nearest store were very pleasant and helpful.”

“When I went into the shop in York I knew which shoes I wanted I asked for my size and was told that it was only available in a blue I wanted black but was told it could be sent to me post free so I agreed I needed to wait as the sales assistant was serving another customer while she was ring up the other sale a different assistant appeared I explained about the shoes being in wrong colour and I would pay for them and they would be posted to me this is where I think things got mixed up with the other customer I was sent the wrong shoes”

“Happy with the shoes, but unhappy with the delivery process. I paid for next day delivery. Instead you tried to deliver a day later when I was out so I eventually got them on Tuesday having ordered and paid for the shoes and next day delivery on Saturday.”

Hello Thankyou for your review Next day delivery is a guaranteed next working day service for orders placed before 5pm. Orders placed after 5pm will be processed as soon as possible, but may be dispatched the next working day. Any orders placed at the weekend will not be dispatched until the Monday for Tuesday delivery. Next day delivery is charged at £5.99 and is available on items that we have in our central warehouse. This is because some items have to be sourced from our stores and will take a little longer to process. If next day delivery is available, you will be able to select the service at the checkout. We have checked your order and this was placed on the Saturday, the delivery for this would be Tuesday at the latest An attempt was made on the Monday however there as no one available so DPD reattempted and posted the item on the Tuesday. We are sorry you were disappointed on this occasion. Please do not hesitate to cotnact us further if we can offer assistance. Kind regards Nicola-Customer Services

“The shoes I received felt as if one was slightly bigger than the other although they were both stated as being the same size, I also felt one was slightly faded than the other, but I have bought before and was pleased with my purchase.”

“I ordered Ecco shoes size 11 and received shoes size 11.5. Fortunately they still fit so I have not returned them. Delivery was prompt so no complaints otherwise.”

Hello Thankyou for your review. Ecco do convert their EU sizes differently and the EU46 is marked as an 11.5 Many brands do not follow a standard conversion and we are sorry if this caused confusion however are delighted the items fit. If we can offer assistance in the future please do get in touch Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“Brilliant communication and fast delivery but the box arrived bashed and tattered and there was no free gift included, a little disappointed that its clearly been a return that hasn't been checked before being sent back out! The shoes themselves were brilliant, excellent fit and my daughter loves the dogs on the front, and for that reason I just kept them but probably wouldn't order again.”

“Normally very good company to deal with but the last shoes I bought were obviously returns. The labels had been torn out and the white soles dirty where they’d been worn by someone else. Not too keen to use Clinkards again”

Thank you for your review. We are disappointed to hear your shoes were not of the high standard you would expect. We do source items from both our warehouse and our stores, where they may have been on display or tried on. However, this should not affect the quality of the product and items which are not of a high standard should not be sent out. We would like to apologise thoroughly for this and hope we can restore your faith in shopping online with ourselves in the future. Kind Regards, Nicola-Customer Services

“The ordering was good and in the past have spoke to customer service who are very helpful don’t mind paying for delivering but I had to pay £4.20 through the post office to return the item tracked as you recommend to do that. The item was too narrow for my foot or else I wouldn’t have sent them back. So in future won’t be ordering again due to having to pay for returning item.”

“The slippers are acceptable but the soles are too thin. Clarks used to make better ones but seem to have ceased production.”

“Unfortunately I have had to return the item l purchased because they were ruckled at the front, the right trainer being more noticeable than the left. This l believe is down to Reikers quality control as the stitching was sub standard and l would consider them to be seconds. If the cost was half of what l was paying maybe l could have lived with it. The cost of delivery may have been free but I was shocked this morning at the Post Office at how much I had to pay for the return. I could have purchased the item locally for £2.99 extra than I paid and now the cost of return exceeds the saving.”

Hello Thankyou for your review. We are sorry you found the style unsuitable and also that the standard of the stitching was not up to the quality you would expect for Rieker. We look forward to your return and have sent a private email to offer further advice Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“The red moccasin shoes I purchased have stained the hem of my white jeans.Very annoying.”

Helpful Report

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that this has happened. When shoes are new, there can be a little residual dye and this will wer off as you wear them. With your jeans being white, we can understand that it was annoying and hope that you are able to get the colour out. Kind regards, Janice - customer services

“I like the shoes and decided to keep them even though they looked like they’d been through the wars when they arrived. Thrown into the box, the cardboard insert underneath the tissue, not what I would expect after spending this amount of money on a pair of sandals. Poor customer service in this respect.”

Thank you for taking the time to leave us your review. We are sorry the shoes have arrived in this way. Shoes should be checked at point of dispatch, and it seems that this hasn't happened in this case. We have highlighted this with our warehouse so we can avoid this happening again. I hope that this experience hasn't put you off purchasing from Charles Clinkard in the future. Kind regards, Dawn - Customer services

“No problems with Charles clinkard very disappointed with Gabor bag said it was yellow but it was a deep gold”

Helpful Report

Posted 3 years ago

Thank you for your review. I am sorry to hear that the bag was not the colour that you expected. I can see that you have returned the bag to our Bristol store for refund and apologise for any onconvenience you have had. Colour on the website is a guide and may differ on different browsers, but the colour is described as you said, as yellow and not as gold so would have expected a yellow bag. We hope that you found a bag that was the colour that you wanted. Kind regards, Janice - customer service.
