DELIVERY TIMESCALES

All our footwear is hand made to order and takes around 3 weeks to be made, packaged and delivered, but this may be extended for customised footwear or more remote regions. We will always do our best to have your order with you on the specified date / time. However, unforeseen circumstances can arise that are outside the control of Highest Heels, the courier, or both which may cause a delay. Although we will do everything to prevent this happening, it may not always be possible. With this in mind, any delivery timescales should be taken as a guideline and not a guarantee of delivery date. We will make contact with you as soon as we are made aware of any delay to your order. If you have not received your order within the delivery timescale stated, please contact us no later than 10 days after the dispatch date, to allow us to look into this further. Full delivery info can be found here

MISSING ITEMS IN YOUR ORDER

We’re really sorry if part of your order is missing. For this to be looked into fully, Highest Heels must be notified directly, of any missing items, within 10 days of the dispatch date. Once a dispute has been raised, please allow 5 working days for our investigation to take place. During this time, the dispatching location(s) will be asked to review CCTV footage, where possible, of the item(s) being checked and sent for shipping. The purpose of CCTV is to ensure all orders are being pair checked for quality and sent for shipping as would be expected. We are unable to share CCTV footage with customers. Should CCTV footage show items being checked and shipped as expected, a review with the courier will then take place. During this time, customers may be asked to provide the packaging their part order has been received in. Customer will also be required to complete a declaration confirming parts of their order was missing at the point of delivery. Please note, if there are any delays in reporting your missing item to us, we might not be able to look into this further.

DELIVERY DISPUTES

In the event of a disputed delivery, Highest Heels must be notified directly, within 10 days of the dispatch date, to allow us to look into this fully and uphold any claims made. Once a dispute has been raised, please allow 5 working days for us to investigate. During this time, depending on the type of dispute, we will carry out investigations with our dispatch location(s) and the courier. We may also review CCTV at the point of dispatch to ensure the correct process has been followed. This CCTV is for review purposes only and will not be shared out with the business. Customers may be asked to complete a declaration confirming non receipt of their order. If the declaration isn’t returned as soon as possible, this may delay the investigation longer than 5 working days. The declaration should be returned within 10 days of the dispute being raised. Failure to do so may result in the investigation being delayed and/or closed without action.

ORDER ACCEPTANCE AND CONTRACT

We send you a confirmation email within 24 hours of your order being placed to confirm receipt of your order. Orders placed by you are an offer to purchase and will be accepted by us, subject to availability of colours and materials. Once you have received your confirmation email, we can't change the details of the order (product, quantities or delivery address). Please ensure you review all your details before you complete the checkout process.

There is a delay between the time when the order is placed and the time when the order is accepted and the order confirmation email is not a guarantee of availability. On occasion the stock position relating to particular colours or materials may change. If a shoe cannot be made at the time of processing your order, we will let you know as soon after the order has been placed as possible and you will not be charged for the item(s) if paying by card. If payment has been made via PayPal, a refund will be processed.

The contract for the sale of the goods will be formed when we send an e-mail confirmation to you that we've dispatched the product to you at the address you provide us with. Acceptance will be complete at the time that we send this email to you. Any products on the same order which have not been confirmed in the confirmation email do not form part of that contract. At the point of dispatch, if paying by card, you will be debited for the items that have been shipped. If your order has already been dispatched, we can no longer cancel it but you can return it within 28 days of purchase.
