AVAILABILITY
All items are subject to availability. Our system has been designed to only allow you to order products that we have in stock. However, in the event of an error and your desired product not being available, we will inform you by email within 14 days of receipt of your order.
SHIPPING
Orders placed via www.freetbarefoot.com are only accepted from, and delivered to, residents from the UK and other countries where shipping has been enabled on the website. For other addresses please contact us by email freet@freetbarefoot.com. Although orders are usually dispatched within two working days, please allow up to 10 working days for delivery. Delivery times may vary depending on the exact location that the goods are to be delivered to. For any special requirements, please just email us. We’ll always try to help!
All orders not from the UK are ‘overseas orders’ (including European Union). On these overseas orders we do not charge VAT (UK sales tax of 20%), and so this amount is deducted on checking out. However you are responsible for paying any local tax/duty/handling fee you may be asked for.
Delivery charges vary depending on the destination. Our carriers will try to deliver your order three times, after which your package will be returned to our distribution centre and your account will then be credited for the value of the order minus delivery costs.
You will receive email notification of cancellation from our customer service department. If you would still like the goods that you originally ordered you will have to place your order again. We reserve the right not to refund delivery charges.

1. Statutory cancellation right
In accordance with the Consumer Protection (Distance Selling) Regulations 2000, you have seven working days starting from the day after receipt to notify us of your intention to cancel the contract with us (ie if you wish to return the goods that you ordered from us). A working day means Monday to Friday not including bank or public holidays.

If you wish to cancel the contract (ie return the goods to us) you must inform us in the first instance by email to freet@freetbarefoot.com. quoting your order number so that we can supply you with our returns address. You must return the goods to us immediately in the same condition in which you received them and at your own risk. You have a legal obligation to take reasonable care of the goods while they are in your possession. If you cancel the contract in accordance with this provision we will process your refund as soon as possible and in any event within 30 days. Replacement goods must be ordered by placing a new order. All goods, including any gift with purchase, must be returned to us unworn and in their original packaging, complete with all labels, swing tags and boxes. We recommend that you return goods using recorded delivery at the Post Office with proof of postage. The goods are your responsibility whilst in transit to us and Freet Footwear cannot be held responsible for any returns which we do not receive.
2. Faulty Goods
Without prejudice to your statutory rights, if you think that your goods are faulty please contact us as soon as possible via email to freet@freetbarefoot.com. We recommend that you get proof of postage from the Post Office. The goods are your responsibility whilst in transit to us. On receipt of the goods and after inspection of the goods we will either: accept their return and refund the price of the goods plus postage or if the items are found not to be faulty, return them to you at your cost. Please note that goods will not be deemed faulty if the fault is not a result of manufacture, but has instead been caused by wear and tear or misuse. For the purposes of this procedure, goods that have been worn for more than four-six months (depending on usage) will be considered by us to have undergone normal wear and tear (based on industry standards).

If you have a promotional code, you need to enter this into the box at checkout. Only one promotional code can be used per order.
