Hello, Thankyou for your review. Next day delivery is a guaranteed next working day service for orders placed before 3pm. Any orders placed after that time will be processed as soon as possible, but may be dispatched the next working day. Unfortunately, any orders placed over the weekend will not be dispatched until Monday for Tuesday delivery. We have contacted you regarding this and hope we can restore your faith in shopping online for your Gabor products. Kind Reagrds Nicola-Customer Services

“Most shoes I wear are a 4.5 size. So when I ordered this size for a very nice shoe, I was disappointed the style is narrow and too tight for my feet. I had to return them at once but was disappointed to see I had to pay the return postage. I dare not order another pair for fear they won’t fit and I have to pay AGAIN. This has left me with no shoes for the cost of £5. I’m not happy.”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to ehar that the shoes that ou ordered were too narrow for you. We do have a range of fittings, the sililar shoe to this one but a little wider is Kinloch Womens Dress Court Shoes. You can take your shoes back to any Charles Clinkard store if you have any near to you, I can see there are some not too far from you. You have up to 35 days to return an unworn item for full refund so this may help if you do decide to order again. With regards, Janice Ruddock Customer services.

“Had to pay to return my purchases and only one means of return. A bit antiquated when you’re spending £100 on a single order. Not sure I would order again on line from you.”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We offer free standard delivery with no minimum spend however currently ask customers to pay towards the cost of returns. You can return via a Charles Clinkard store without a cost, just pop in with your invoice and your shoes Additionally returns can be made via Collectplus, its £4.49 for up to 10kg in weight and this is ideal for larger orders/multiple items. You are welcome to also return via the Post Office which has varying costs depending on which service you opt. We are naturally disappointed with your feedback, we appreciate the time you took to leave this and will of course pass across your comments. If we can offer further assistance do not hesitate to contact us. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“I bought some boots via the Internet. I was offered a 10per cent discount as a first time buyer. This was not deducted so paid full price. When the boots arrived the outer packaging was perfect but the inner box was completely battered. The tissue paper was tatty. I wondered if the boots had been returned. The boots had a couple of scrapes. I would have sent them back but how could It be proved I hadn’t damaged them. Please ask your staff to be more careful as £165.00 is a lot of money to me. H Isitt”

Hello Heather Thankyou for your review. Items are sourced from our stores and our warehouse, they may have been tried on or on display however the quality of the boots should not have been affected and it is disappointing that this pair arrived.

We have also refunded the 10% discount that was not deducted for you and this will show in 3-4 working days. We hope you will return in the future and are sorry for any inconvenience caused.

“I paid £190 for boots and when they arrived there was a price label attached for £144. If the boots were on sale I should not have been charged the full price”

Helpful Report

Thank you for your review. We apologise that this has happened. Sometimes there is a crossover of full price items and sale items when the sale starts and we would then honour the sale price. However this boot is at full price and it looks as though there may have been an error with this sale sticker but we would have looked into this for you and may have been able to reduce the cost for you. However, I can see that you have sent them back for a full refund, so unfortunately on this occassion I cannot be of help, but if this happens in the future please do not hesitate to contact us. With regards, Janice Ruddock - customer services.

Hello, Thank you for your message. I'm sorry to hear that your order was delivered in poor condition. Can you please provide your order number so I can look into this further? Kind regards, Rosie, Customer Services.

“The wrong colour shoes were sent. I e mailed pointing this out, the customer service department said they would send out a replacement pair in the correct colour once I sent the wrong pair back. And that all items are checked before delivery - clearly not...... As I had wanted to wear them for a special event, this was no good. In the end I kept the shoes as I already have them and they are a nice colour and will come in handy at some point. I am not impressed with the service.”

“I bought them for my elderly mother & they are described as ‘wide fit’ however she could t get her feet into them! I now have to pay return postage!”

Hello Judi Thankyou for your review. The Gabor Islay are part of the Gabor Comfort Range, these offer leather linings and insoles with Soft Move technology which gives more surface area for the customers foot. Although it is classed as a wide fit we cannot guarantee this will be a good fit for every customer as size is so personal to each person an many factors can affect how a shoe will fit. We would suggest opting for the D+ in Gabor which are a little wider and some styles have removable insoles If you need assistance with choosing do get in touch by calling 03452 41 7742, lines are available 7 days a week and as late as8pm onday through to Thursdays. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“The shoes were not of acceptable standard - pen marks and dirty sticky label which couldn’t be removed on the inside of one of the shoes. Also had to pay for return. Have made recent previous purchase from same retailer (Charles Clinkard) - have shopped int he store for years so assumed all would be fine - and again had to return as substandard; on that occasion they contacted me and refunded return cost but this time have heard nothing. Will still buy Gabor/shop in Charles Clinkard but in store only as the online service is clearly unreliable.”

All orders should be quality checked before posting, please be advised that we will let the dispatch team know of your disappointment so that it will not happen to others.

“I bought a pair of shoes in store (Wards, Bakewell) but wanted another pair in a different colour. Wards ascertained that Belper had a pair and phoned to reserve. No reply and, despite the promise of a call the next day, none came. So I ordered them on line. I paid extra for fast delivery, as I was away early this week. The shoes were not delivered on the date they were promised, but on the first day of my holiday. I had asked that as that was the case, they be left with a neighbour, not in the porch. They were left on the porch. Altogether unsatisfactory”

We are Charles Clinkard and we operate www.gaborshoes.co.uk, there are other stockists of Gabor such as the one you mentioned above however we are unable to comment as to why you were not contacted back. On checking the details of your order, this was indeed on our Express Delivery Service which is dispatched within 2-3 working days. If we are unable to locate a pair from our warehouse then we look to source these from another location and this adds on time to your initial order. The delivery selected do not operate over the weekend and only Monday to Friday, this should have been processed with an alternative courier and we are very sorry for the inconvenience this caused you. We have raised this internally to ensure more care is taken and have sent you a seperate email which we hope will offer some reassurance and also restore your faith in Charles Clinkard as well as the brand Gabor.

“It took 10 days to have a delivery to DK, which I have experienced to mush faster for other suppliers of clothes/shoes from UK. Furthermore one of the shoes were rather scrathed on the leather material. When I had to return the product, I had to pay the postal cost my self (I knew that from Terms and Conditions), but all in all it rates the supplier much lower than other suppliers with higher product quality, faster delivery and no cost if products are returned.”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. Standard International Delivery is dispatched within 2-5 working days from the UK. On tracking your order it was sent out just before the Bank Holidays and this would explain the delay in receiving your order. We are naturally sorry the sandals were marked and we will inspect these on return for you. Please be assured items are checked prior to sending and it is incredibly disappointing you did not enjoy the online shopping experience. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“I ordered 5 pairs of different shoes (normal fit). All turned a way too wide for me, had to send them back. It would be good to have various options for width.”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. When you visit www.gaborshoes.co.uk and select either shoes/boots or sandals, on a desk top the options for selecting fit are to the left hand side. If using a mobile device the filter option will appear to the bottom or top and then you can choose from there. We are sorry you had to return your items and did not find a suitable fit. On checking the shoes ordered, not all the styles were a standard fit and some were even an extra wide fit (d+ or a H in the base of the shoe) however although you may have enjoyed wearing Gabor before we cannot guarantee that all styles will be suitable. This is down to how the shoe is contructed, some have larger surface area around the foot and also some styles even include a removable insole. If you need help looking for a style please can you give us a call on 0345 241 7742, we are available 7 days a week. Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services
