A:
Shoes tend to have a high returns rate. First port of call when
visiting any online footwear retailer is to check their returns
policy. Retailers like Brantano are free of charge for all returns.
They instruct consumers to re-pack items like jeans and shoes in
the original packaging (always be careful when opening an online
order), then apply the returns label provided. You should always
ask for a free certificate of posting if using the Royal Mail. Therefore
if an accident happens in the post you have proof of postage. As
long as you keep the certificate and reference number there should
be no issues in receiving a refund. Brantano are an excellent example
of a first class returns policy. Sadly this isn't the case with
all retailers. Typically most will not refund postage and package
charges. Many will only refund the credit card used for the order.
Finally nearly every retailer will not refund items which are worn,
used or damaged. It's worth considering that retailers with real
world stores like Brantano will accept online orders returned to
their stores. M&S for example will allow the return of all their
jeans, shoes, shirts, suits and apparels.
