Can I amend an order?

Sadly, we’re unable to amend an order once it’s been placed – we’re sorry about this. 

Occasionally, we might be able to cancel an order but it’s important to note that our warehouse works extremely high speeds and therefore they process orders quickly. Due to this, we might not be able to cancel your order before it’s full processed. 

Depending on the carrier, we might be able to request a return to sender so that your order is refunded and you can place a new order with all the right details. We won’t be able to request a return to sender until the order has been dispatched so please let your customer experience team know when you have received your tracking number and we can investigate with the carrier if your order is eligible to be returned. Please note that this is only a request and cannot be guaranteed as it’s subject to the carrier. 

Alternatively, if we’re unable to request a return to sender, you’re welcome to make a return on the order when it reaches you. Further information on returns can be found here. Please note you must make the return within 14 days of receipt, failure to do this will result in the return not being accepted.   

CAN I ORDER BY TELEPHONE?

We sadly can’t take orders via phone for security purposes so please make all purchases directly through our website. If you’re having any issues with placing an order, please let our Customer Service team know; they’d be happy to help. Providing screenshots with any error messages would be really useful and may help our Customer Service team assist you more efficiently.

HOW DO I FIND A SPECIFIC ITEM?

If you know exactly what you are looking for please click on “Search” and enter the style name in the search box.

Alternatively, once you are looking at “All Shoes” you can select a category from the filter bar.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN AN ITEM IS IN STOCK?

All items shown on the website will be in stock, however, some sizes might have sold out and will be greyed out. If your size is running low then the product page will highlight that there’s only a unit or two left when you click on your size so hurry, if you want it.

Please be aware that even if the product is in your shopping bag it isn’t reserved and will therefore be available to other customers while you are browsing.

WHAT IF AN ITEM IS OUT OF STOCK?

If an item is showing as out of stock on the website, we recommend that you sign up to the stock alerts as in the event we do get more in, you’ll be notified via email when they’re available to buy on the website again.  

If we realise that an item is out of stock after you have placed the order, the customer experience team will be in touch with you via email and will refund you for the item immediately.

WHAT IF MY ORDER ARRIVES FAULTY OR DAMAGED?

If you have placed your order on sophiawebster.com and you receive faulty purchased products, you have the right to ask for a repair, exchange, reduction in the price or a full or partial refund, in accordance with United Kingdom Sale of Goods Act 1979. Please immediately email  customerservice@sophiawebster.com with images of any of your purchases, which you consider have been delivered faulty.

Products are “faulty” if they do not conform to the implied terms under the United Kingdom Sale of Goods Act 1979, which require that our products must correspond to their description and be of satisfactory quality.

Please note: If your purchased products become faulty within 6 months of your receiving them, then the law will treat them as having been faulty when you received them. Items that are damaged as a result of normal wear and tear are not considered to be faulty, you may refer to our Care Guide above for further information.

If you return an item to us as faulty it will be thoroughly inspected by our production team to determine whether an item is faulty or whether it is wear and tear. If you ask for a repair, we will do so only where possible and not disproportionate.

If you ask for a refund, we may be entitled to reduce any refund to take account of any use you have had of the products since they were delivered to you.

If you would like to exchange a faulty product instead of obtaining a refund, we can only replace it for the same product in the same size and any exchange is subject to availability.

If you ask for a repair or replacement and we do not provide one in a reasonable time or have reason for not providing one (other than due to your fault), then you will be entitled to exercise your right to ask for a reduction in price or refund.

DO YOU OFFER EXCHANGES?
