About Pleaser Clearance/Sale items

When a style is in Clearance/Sale at Pleaser, Pleaser has decided to no longer produce the items and only sell the last available sizes they have in stock; usually with a discount (but this is not always the case...)

Unfortunately, I can no longer guarantee optimal quality or availability for clearance/sale models (and unfortunately I no longer have a guarantee with Pleaser) if I still have to purchase them.

Clearance/Sale items have a warranty period of 2 months.

Various categories of Sale-products can be found in the webshop:

1) Clearance/Sale items that I do not have in my own stock and that I still have to import from Pleaser
2) Clearance/Sale items from my own stock; unused items that are discounted because they are out of the current collection/will be cleared from the current collection
3) Items sold at a discount due to depreciation or overstock
4) Other discounted items

 

1) Clearance/Sale items I still have to import from Pleaser

Unfortunately, I can no longer guarantee optimal quality or availability for clearance/sale styles if I still have to purchase them (and unfortunately, Pleaser no longer offers warranty for clearance/sale items) 

I can never guarantee that Clearance/Sale items are still available when you order them because this ultimately depends on the stock at Pleaser.
SOLD OUT = FINAL!

So please keep in mind that there is also a chance that I, unfortunately, have to disappoint you if an item turns out to be sold out. I can of course always help you search for another (comparable) item (this may result in a price difference that will have to be settled)

If I cannot help you find another item, you can of course get a refund!

(And no: I won't give an extra discount because an item appears to be sold out, sorry!)

Items that are in clearance/sale that have yet to be purchased can be recognised by these characteristics on the product page:

  • Unlike models that I do have in stock (see below), these items do not always have a specific size stated in the product title
  • The stock indication states "Available at the supplier" (or "leverbaar bij de leverancier" in Dutch)
  • The expected delivery time in this case is also 1 - 1½ weeks because they still have to be imported
  • The product is (usually) discounted
  • In the product photo you can see a "Clearance/Sale" label/badge

NB:
Items that still have to be purchased also have the usual 1 - 1½ weeks delivery time because they have to be imported, just like normal items



 2) Clearance/Sale from my own stock:

Because I cannot guarantee quality or availability when I still have to purchase items that are in Clearance/Sale at Pleaser, you can choose to search for sale items that I have in stock myself, and I have therefore been able to physically check the quality before sending it to you.

Clearance/Sale items from our own stock can be recognized by the following features:

    • A "Clearance/Sale" label/badge can be seen in the product photo
  • If there is one variant of an item in my own stock, a size is indicated in the title of the item, in the example above: [Size 39 | US-9]
  • If there are still several variants of an item for sale but there is a variant in stock, you can see this in the description, and when you click on the desired size you will see in the stock indication "in stock in the showroom" (or "op voorraad in de showroom" in Dutch) as in the example below:

If the desired size is not available in the webshop or if you cannot select/order it, then unfortunately it is no longer for sale and no longer available.

All Clearance/Sale models can be found in the Sale-collection.

 3) Items sold at a discount due to depreciation or overstock:

Overstock:

If I have too much stock of an item or just feel like discounting an item because I don't want to leave it in my stock for too long (because that's a waste!), I can decide to sell it at a nice discount. These will be items that are normally not sold at a discount; the discount will only apply to the variant/size that is indicated as 'in stock'. Other sizes of the same item that I don't have in stock will also not be discounted.

Depreciation:

The Sale collection sometimes also contains items that are sold at a discount due to depreciation*. These can also be items that are still produced by Pleaser, and are therefore not normally sold at a discount, but are sold at a discount for various reasons (which you can find below)

Of course, I only sell items that, despite the depreciation:

- are safe
- work (i.e. function well, can be used as intended)
- are as expected (always read the explanation in the description and, if applicable, view the photos with the explanation to see what you can expect)
- are still covered by the clearance/sale guarantee (if there are exceptions to the guarantee, these will also be clearly communicated)

*Depreciation can be:
- slight damage(s) to the packaging
- slight damage(s) to the item itself
- missing parts or packaging material
(for example, matching laces, interchangeable parts or the shoe box)
- returned items that can no longer be sold 'as new' because they show signs of use or have clearly visible damage
- returned items that were damaged, but that I had repaired (professionally)
- items that are no longer in 'new condition' because they have been in the box for a while

I will always clearly state when items are discounted due to depreciation, explain the reason for the depreciation in the description and if applicable place clear photos of any damage or photos of missing parts -> which will therefore not be present in the photo... ;)

 4) Other discounted items:

Very rarely I also sell items that no longer function 'as intended', but may still be used for other purposes. I do this because I think it would be a shame if 'usable' materials were thrown away and because I want to offer you the opportunity to perhaps give the product a nice second life. In most cases the price will be so low and only serve to cover the costs**. I often donate these types of items to, for example, art or fashion schools or to local upcycle workshops/activities, but sometimes I also put them for sale on the webshop.

Items that can be classified under this category are, for example:
Showroom models (items I had displayed in my showroom for example) that can be used decoratively but are no longer safe to use as 'shoes'; (showroom) models of which, for whatever crazy reason, I may only have one shoe left, or for example broken shoes that can be used as decoration (part) or of which the material can be used. This will again be clearly stated, and the price will of course be so low that you can expect that they are not usable shoes.

**Shipping costs will be charged if you cannot pick them up yourself in the showroom.

Please note: for this last category; "Other Items", there is no right to return!

Please refer to the Terms of Service and Refund policy.

 

 

Information about what Clearance/Sale from Pleaser entails:


When an item is in Clearance/Sale at Pleaser, Pleaser has decided to no longer produce it and only sell the last available sizes they have in stock; usually with a discount (but this is not always the case.)

Unfortunately, I can no longer guarantee optimal quality or availability for clearance/sale items if I still have to purchase them (and unfortunately, Pleaser no longer offers warranty) The fact that we cannot offer you this guarantee is partly due to the following:

When an item is in Clearance/Sale, I unfortunately cannot guarantee that they are still available because I have to deal with a time difference with the supplier, and because I place an order once a week. The current stock indication from Pleaser may therefore no longer be completely 'up to date' when I place the order, or another importer may have just bought up an entire Sale stock in one go.

Also, items that are in Clearance/Sale have in some cases already been in the collection for a number of years; despite the fact that Pleaser has items produced more often, it can still happen that a certain item has been in the supplier's warehouse for a long time. Now that does not always cause a problem right away; but because most (non-animal) materials do deteriorate in quality over time, the chance is greater that they will not be able to withstand the sudden change in climate. Especially due to the humidity in the Netherlands, it unfortunately sometimes happens that the material is no longer as it should be or looks strange upon arrival, and sometimes the items are damaged or start to show signs of perishability.

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.

Sizing and Dimensions

Converted sizing for Pleaser shoes:

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

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

Boot Circumference and Shaft Height:

You can find all the specifications of the shoes in the specification table below the product; such as the shaft length, shaft circumference, calf circumference and the length of the inner sole of the shoes.

The (boot) specifications are size-related! So make sure you have selected the desired size to read the correct specifications.

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:
