Shoe orders are offered on an exchange only basis unless the order has been made to include more than one pair when refunds will be processed at our discretion. This includes sale and discontinued lines.
IMPORTANT NOTE: If shoes have evidence of being worn without foot socks or scuffed / pitted soles due to not trying on a carpeted surface these are not deemed suitable for refund or exchange. Please do take extra care of all goods to ensure they remain in the same perfect new condition as despatched, unless you have decided to keep them as failure to do so will be classed as your acceptance of the goods. If any items are returned in used/marked condition, we will return them to you without processing a refund or exchange.
Comparing shoes, hair accessories or jewellery….? We will only allow a maximum of TWO pairs of shoes or hat and headwear items per customer for style comparison purposes. However, this does not include any shoes or made to order items which have to be ordered directly from our supplier in which case we will contact you to inform you of this or request further information about shoe sizes and styles which you are ordering. We do believe that this will minimise returns – for you as a customer as well as from our point of view as an efficient company – and from experience, we have found that narrowing the choice to two items means that brides are more informed about which styles they like before they place their order. We reserve the right to reject an order if we suspect that a customer is taking advantage of our returns policy. Shoe sizing is approximate in all cases and sizes vary greatly between different brands. We always recommend that if a customer is having a pair of shoes bleached to white or dyed to a colour that they select the ‘Try before you Dye’ and ‘Try before you Bleach’ options to ensure they are ordering the correct size. Crystal Bridal Accessories will not be held responsible for shoes which do not fit as all of our sizes are an approximate guide only. For instructions on how to return an item, please refer to our Returns and Refunds page.
