Order Journey: all ordered items are in stock in my showroom

 

What can you expect from your Kinky-shoes order for items that are in my own showroom stock:

Important; take the following into account:

This journey only applies to orders for items from my own showroom stock + if you have only ordered items that are present in my own stock.

Most of the products you can buy are not physically in stock in my own small showroom; please check whether the ordered items are actually in stock to avoid a disappointment.
Read this information on how you can see in the stock indication on the product page whether a product is in stock in my showroom or not

Does it appear that not everything you ordered is in stock? Please refer to the Order Journey: for items that are not (all) in stock in my showroom.

Kinky-shoes Order Journey 


The journey of your order:

 

If you place your order on weekdays (Mon-Fri) before 16:00, I will usually ship it to you the same day! If you place your order on workdays (Mon-Fri) after 16:00 I will ship it, if still possible*, the same day; otherwise the next business day!

    *I still do my best (and even a little extra) to ship your order to you as soon as possible; but if this really isn't possible before the last batch at the carrier, I will send it the next business day (Mon-Fri)

     

    *The following applies to all orders:

    The delivery time also depends on the carrier and how busy they are. Unfortunately, I have no influence on your shipment once I have handed over your order! I can therefore never guarantee that your order will be delivered to you within a given amount of days!**
    If you really need the ordered items quickly and would rather pay for a 'same-day-delivery' or 'priority' shipment, please contact me to inquire about the possibilities:
    info@kinky-shoes.nl

     

    **Important Notice on Delivery Times During Peak Periods:
    Please be aware that delivery times may vary during holidays and other peak seasons, such as Black Friday, sale weeks, and vacation periods. Due to increased demand with shipping carriers, I can't always meet the standard delivery times.

    Any delays resulting from these circumstances are beyond my control and do not qualify for compensation, order cancellation, or any other remedies. While I will make every effort to process and ship orders as quickly as possible, all stated delivery times are purely indicative. Thank you for your understanding.

    Shipping confirmation

    Important:

    When you receive a shipping confirmation, your order has usually already been handed over to the carrier; from that moment on, I no longer have any influence on your shipment and can no longer change anything about the shipment or delivery address.

    It is possible that your order has not yet been scanned by the carrier and that the track & trace that you received from me has not yet been updated/activated. An update will usually be available within a few hours; when the carrier scanned it.

     

    Important: if I did have to import the ordered items from the supplier and they have already been processed, I can no longer cancel or return them. On (almost) every page on my website at the bottom in a block with "general information", multiple times in the Refund- and Return Policy and in the Terms of Service, you can find information about costs that I, unfortunately, have to charge for cancellations before receipt or a return after receipt. I recommend that you read this information so that you are not faced with an unpleasant surprise!

    **Important Notice on Delivery Times During Peak Periods:
    Please be aware that delivery times may vary during holidays and other peak seasons, such as Black Friday, sale weeks, and vacation periods. Due to increased demand with shipping carriers, I can't always meet the standard delivery times.

    Any delays resulting from these circumstances are beyond my control and do not qualify for compensation, order cancellation, or any other remedies. While I will make every effort to process and ship orders as quickly as possible, all stated delivery times are purely indicative. Thank you for your understanding.

    General information

    I import most items especially for you upon your order from the supplier. The average delivery time is 1 to 1½ weeks (within the Netherlands) but this can also be longer. This is an average delivery time, therefore it's not a promise or guarantee! Please keep that in mind!**

    Please note:

    • For returning (not exchanging) items that I imported from the supplier for you upon your order, I will deduct €25,- import/postage/duty costs from your refund amount per item*.
    • I will convert €15,- from that €25,- into a shop credit.
      • Once your return has been received in good order, you will receive a return confirmation and your shop credit will be added to your account
      • Your shop credit can be redeemed in the webshop for a next order
      • Your shop credit cannot be exchanged for (cash) money
      • Your credit is valid for 12 months from the date of issue
      • If your return does not meet the return conditions and in addition to import/postage/import duty costs, a depreciation will also be applied, your right to this shop credit will lapse and all costs will be deducted from the amount to be refunded

    * When returning multiple items that have been imported, I will always calculate the costs incurred per individual situation; the amount that will be deducted and the amount that will be converted into shop credit depends on the actual costs incurred and are subject to a reasonable compensation for the losses incurred.

    More information about a reasonable compensation for the losses incurred can be found in this Dutch Law and can be read in this Dutch article here and here.

    This applies to:
    1) cancellation of the order before it is delivered to you, but has already been imported by me
    2) returning (part of) the order you have already received.

     

    I would prefer not to have to charge these costs, but in order to cover the costs (losses) I have incurred due to the increasing number of returns, this has unfortunately proven necessary. To limit the number of returns (please think about the environment too) I would like to ask you to think just a little longer about your purchase, to make a well-considered decision and, if you are unsure, to ask me for advice or help! 

    For a single exchange for a different size, these costs will not be charged. You can read more about this in the Terms and Conditions and Refund Policy.

    **Important Notice on Delivery Times During Peak Periods:
    Please be aware that delivery times may vary during holidays and other peak seasons, such as Black Friday, sale weeks, and vacation periods. Due to increased demand at Pleaser, Sway, Lupit, and with shipping carriers, I can't always meet the standard delivery times.

    Any delays resulting from these circumstances are beyond my control and do not qualify for compensation, order cancellation, or any other remedies. While I will make every effort to process and ship orders as quickly as possible, all stated delivery times are purely indicative. Thank you for your understanding.

    Sizing and Dimensions

    Sizing for Sway polewear:

    The sizing of Sway items are indicated in the product-specifications on a product page. For most Sway polewear you can find a minimum and maximum size measurement because they are adjustable. Please measure your body at the parts where the size of the polewear is measured to ensure you will buy the right size.

    Pleaser shoes converted sizing:

    Pleaser shoes come from the USA and have American sizing (1 inch = 2.54 cm). Pleaser lists both US sizes (American shoe sizes) and EU sizes (European shoe sizes) on the shoe boxes.

    However, experience has shown that the listed, converted EU sizes are not always correct. In particular, the larger shoe sizes are often larger than stated on the shoe box. For this reason, I use my own converted EU size chart (see the Sizing page) and not the EU sizes stated on the boxes.

    From US-size 12, the sizing for most shoes is slightly adjusted:

    • US-12 -> EU size 42/43;
    • US-13 -> EU size 44;
    • US-14 -> EU size 45 and so on

     Important:

    Order the size you normally wear, I already take into account whether certain shoes have a smaller or larger fit. If you have already done that too, please let me know (at the comments section in your shopping cart or by e-mail stating your order number) so that your order won't be imported two sizes too big or too small.

    What if I want to order a specific US size?

    If you would like to order a specific US size because you know which Pleaser US size you have, this is of course possible. I always buy the US size that is indicated. For example, as shown in the image below, I buy US-16 if you buy size 47/48:

    You can see in the image above that the sizing has been adjusted slightly from US size 12 and up. For example, US-12 is a European size 42/43; US-13 is a European size 44; US-14 is a European size 45 and so on. On the shoe box, US-13 size 43 is indicated, but this conversion is not correct. So don't panic if you see another EU-size on the shoebox! ;)

    How do I calculate the right size for me?

    See how to calculate your size using a conversion table on the information page: "How do I know what size I have, and which one to order?"

    If you are between 2 sizes, I usually advise rounding up the size for a closed style such as a pump or boot with a closed toe. For an open shoe style such as a sandals, where the toes and/or heel are 'open', I advise rounding down the size. 

    Of course you can always ask me for advice about which size you need:
    info@kinky-shoes.nl

    Boot Circumference and Shaft Height:

    The calf circumference, shaft circumference and shaft height of boots can be found in the table on a product page.

    The specification table on a product page contains a lot of information about the shoes. The indicated dimensions in the upper part of the table depend on the selected size; so make sure you have selected the correct size to see the correct data.

    The table will look similar to this: In the upper part you can find the calf circumference, shaft circumference and shaft height in centimeters:

    specificationstable


    Have you already taken into account how the size fits and ordered a different size than you normally wear?

    Please let me know if you have already made a conversion yourself so that the ordered item is not imported two sizes too big or too small. This can be done in the comments section in your shopping cart:

    Of course you are always welcome to ask me for advice about which size you need:
    info@kinky-shoes.nl

    I would kindly like to ask you not to order the same item in different sizes and then return the sizes that do not fit.

    Please contact me so that I can help you determine the correct size. If the shoes do not fit after all, you can always exchange them for a different size!

    It is a waste of time and money to order an item in multiple sizes if you know in advance that some of those items will be returned. The costs for the return shipment are for your own account and if items have been imported especially for you upon your order, the import/postage/customs costs will also be charged on to you. Please refer to section 6.2: Right of withdrawal in the Terms of Service
