“You have to pay £4:49 to send things back which is a lot considering most companies do it for free now. This will deter me from shopping with you again.”

Thank you for your review. The £4.49 collect + service offered on our website is for up to 10 kilo for people who order multiple items to be able to send several shoes back in one package. You can return to any Charles Clinkard store free or use Royal Mail or any other courier that you prefer. I hope that this helps for future reference should you change your mind and order again. Kind regards, Janice Ruddock Customer services

“I have bought Gabor shoes and found 6 and a half the perfect fit. The shoes I ordered on line were too small and I had expected them to be black but they were navy, not even dark navy, but obviously blue. I sent them back and bore the cost of the postage but this was actually the last straw. Shoes were too tight, the wrong colour and I paid the price. Will not order on line again.”

Hello, Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear you were unhappy with your recent purchase. You ordered the Gabor Azalea, in the colour Atlantic Metallic Caru, which is blue not black unfortunately. It is difficult to determine fit without trying on the item, as different styles within a brand can fit differently due to factors such as width and shape. We currently do not offer free returns, however we appreciate the feedback regarding the returns policy and will pass this onto the correct department, as we are constantly reviewing our policies to ensure the best service for our customers. Your return has been received and a refund has been processed accordingly. If you require any assistance in the future, please do not hesitate to contact us. Kind regards, Demi Bandeira Customer Services

Thank you for your review. I can see that your order was placed on the 16th December and dispatched on the 17th. Unfortunately as it is going from the UK to Norway it will have to pass through customs. Hopefully your order will be with you very soon. Kind regards, Janice Ruddock Customer services

“Really good quality boots, but not very well described for a really expensive item being traded over the internet, considering the buyer has to return them at his/her own expense. The cost of which, with full insurance cover was £11, that’s £11 with nothing to show for it just because the width fitting was poorly described. What would you say a knee length boot being described as extra wide was? Wide foot or leg? No leg! Sorry Gabor, very nice boots, but I can’t afford to come back, chances are I will misunderstand your description!”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. The Gabor Keates are wide fitting in the foot area and also a Large in the circumference in the calf. We are sorry if the description was not as clear and we have contacted you via your order to hopefully restore your faith in shopping with us. We do ask our customers to pay towards the cost of the return and do recommend a tracked service. The Post Office has different services available however you can also opt to use Collectplus which is £4.49 and would cover up to 10kg in weight and ideal for larger items or multiple products. If you contact us by emailing sales@clinkard.co.ukk then we can of course offer advice and measurements before you make your purchase. We are available 7 days a week and as late as 8pm Monday to Thursdays, Kind Regards Nicola-Customer Services

“The sizes are wrong and while one just fits (very uncomfortably) the other is at least 2 sizes too small. No consistency and extremely stressful as the boots were for a function last weekend. I had to purchase more from Hotter as I know their sizes are correct.”

“I searched the web with care for I really need wide fit shoes. Finally searched under “walking shoes:wide fit. Only your “rolling sole” trainers came up but the write up claimed they were equivalent of Gabor H- ideal. They were delivered very promptly and delivery company gave amazingly accurate delivery times. But neither on the shoes or on the box were there any reference to widerfit nor to Gabor H. Never had a pair of Gabor Hs that didn’t say so. I tried them on and they were ok. But after a day’s walking? No confirmation of width. £125 for discomfort. They are going back- and I am having to pay post. Nice one when Gabor’s lack of clear information is the problem.”

“The boots were so different from my previous purchase 2 years ago. The sizing was completely different and the ‘lace ups’ were false: there is a zip at the side which is uncomfortable and means you cannot tighten the ankles properly, very disappointing because my first purchase was so successful. Also, I don’t appreciate having to pay £4.90 to return the boots! I won’t be using your service again. Other retailers offer free returns!”

Thank you for your review. We are sorry to hear that the boots that you received did not match the pair that you have had previously. The leather does stretch as little as you wear them and it can feel tighter at first. However with the other things that you mention, this may not be a comfortable boot for you. With regard to the return cost, we do deliver free of charge but as if customers can return either to a Charles Clinkard store or send back to us. We do not cover the return costs, but would send out an exchange where we would cover the postage. We hope that you find something more suited to your requirments. Kind regards Janice Ruddock Customer services

“They took a lot longer than other retailers to arrive. I decided to return them as they were slightly too small. They were over £50 (£140) and so I emailed you to ask what was the best way to return them, as on your website you say returns are only insured to that amount, I didn’t have a reply so decided to take them to the post office and send them recorded delivery which cost me over £11! I don’t think I would order from you again as I think it was a costly would be purchase.”

Thank you for your review. Our delivery service is free and we do advise that it can take up to 6 working days to receive your order, however most are much sooner than this. You can pay for a delivery which would ensure that your order is with you quickly if you prefer. We are sorry to hear that the item that you ordered was not suitable and that you had to return it to us. We are also sorry to heat that you did not receive a reply to your email, we do reply to all emails within 24 hours so I do not know why you have not been replied to. With regards to Collect +, if you buy a label from our website, it covers up to 10 kilo and gives you £50 insurance. You can however go into a Collect + store and purchase a label and also extra insurance so that it will cover the full cost of your return should it go missing or be damaged in transit. Alternatively you can choose any courier of choice or take back to any Charles Clinkard store. There are several not too far from you where you could take your return for a full refund. This may help for future reference. Kind regards, Janice Ruddock Customer services

“2 things 1. delivery was poor and your customer service was unable to support said it was up to DPD but that is a shame as when ordering online delivery is essential part of my experience. 2 am returning both pairs as although the right shoe size the calf reach was insufficient and couldn’t do up the zip - I can assure you I do not have an unusual sized calf circumference! Again a shame as the boots were beautiful. All in all after waiting for them to be delivered only to discover they did not fit it was a poor experience”

Hello, Thankyou for your review. We have looked into this for you and can see there was an issue with delivery which was down to DPD. As the parcel was in their hands we hoped this would be resolved quickly for you and are sorry this has caused disappointment. With regards to the style not being suitable, as size is personal it is difficult to confirm an item will fit and the best way is to try for size. The two pairs ordered were two different calf cirumferences and we are sorry to hear neither were suitable for you. We have contacted you privately to offer a resolution and hope you will consider returning again for your Gabor purchase. Kind Regards Nicola Customer Services

“As I am between the sizes - I ordered 2 pairs shoes with the view of returning 1 pair . It was clear very visible in bold writing “ UK Free Delivery on All orders “ however, returning message was very small , you have to search properly to find the points that customer is paying for returning postage ... simply I did not notice . it should be also bold , visible message about returning policy. Usually , for shops which offer free delivery – returning is free , if I knew I have to pay returning postage I would think twice before ordering 2 pair shoes or go to the nearest store which is selling Gabor’s brand. I am really disappointed with the service – will return the shoes and will ensure I never order anything from your store. thank you . J. E.”

“The ordering, packaging and general returns experience was excellent. The problem is the product itself in that the circumference of the ankle is too small to get a foot inside. Very annoying experience as the returned article was the next size up with the same problem of being unable to access the inside of the shoe.”
