2 Delivery

2.1 Delivery Information and Costs

The time it will take your item to arrive is the order processing time plus the delivery time for your chosen delivery method to your address. It can take up to 2 working days from the time your payment is accepted for your order to be processed for dispatch. If there is any delay in processing your order, you will be notified by email as soon as possible.

For information on the costs of delivery and destinations we deliver to, please see our Delivery page.

2.2 Delivery Times

All times quoted are Greenwich Mean Time (GMT) or British Summer Time (BST) (as applicable).

FAST & FREE UK Delivery: We aim to deliver all mainland UK orders in 1-3 working days. However, sometimes during sale periods or other busy periods, deliveries may take longer. If you have not received your delivery within 7 working days, please contact our Customer Services team. Deliveries to Northern Ireland and the Highlands and UK Offshore Islands may take longer to arrive. During busy periods, please allow up to 10 working days for delivery to Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Off Shore Islands before contacting Customer Services.

Our courier typically delivers Monday to Friday, 8AM–6PM. Please note that Saturday and Sunday are not classed as working days. If you are not in when the delivery driver first tries to deliver the package, it may be returned to the local delivery office and a card left detailing how to collect or arrange re-delivery. The parcel will be held for up to 5 working days before being returned to us. If a parcel is refused delivery, if three attempts are made to deliver the parcel, or if a parcel is not collected from a pick up shop or depot, and no attempt is made to rearrange delivery, the parcel will be returned to us by the courier as undeliverable. When this happens a charge is levied upon the sender (Scorpio Shoes) by the courier. This charge will be passed on to the customer in the form of a reduction to the amount refunded for the undeliverable order. The same applies to orders that are Returned To Consignor from the courier.

Please allow 7 working days from dispatch before querying your order. The courier will contact you via email or SMS (text message) with details of your delivery once we have released the parcel to the courier.

Next Day UK Delivery: Next Day UK Delivery is not available on all items as inventory is located across three premises. Please call Customer Services to enquire about the availability of stock for next day deliveries before placing your order over the telephone. We aim to deliver all next-day delivery orders within 24 hours for all orders received before midday, Monday-Thursday (excluding Bank Holidays). Deliveries to the Highlands and UK Off Shore Islands/Remote Area locations may take longer to arrive.

International Delivery: We aim to deliver orders usually 5-7 Working Days for Europe, 7-10 Working Days for the Rest of the World. In unusual circumstances delivery may take up to 21 working days. During sale or other busy periods however, deliveries may take up to 21 days. If you have not received your delivery within 21 days of dispatch, please contact our Customer Services team. Please note that Saturday and Sunday are not classed as working days.

Your international order will be delivered to your address by DHL. We unfortunately cannot guarantee a timeframe for delivery. The courier will contact you via email or SMS (text message) with details of your delivery once we have released the parcel to the courier. Please allow 10 working days before querying your order.

3 Payment

3.1 Payment Options

We accept Visa, Visa Delta, Maestro, MasterCard, Solo, PayPal and Amazon Payments. Please see www.paypal.com for information on PayPal payments. All prices are inclusive of VAT (where applicable) at the current rate and are correct at the time of entering the information on to the system. The total cost of the order is the price of the products ordered plus the delivery charge.

Further information for International customers: Prices can be displayed on our website in British Pounds (GBP), Euros or US Dollars. All orders are placed in British Pounds and the Euro/Dollar amounts shown are estimated values based on the exchange rate (updated twice daily) for your convenience. International orders will be subject to the exchange rate and any charges applied by the customer's credit or debit card company of which we have no control or liability. Customers outside the United Kingdom will also be liable for any import duty, quotas, permits, product restrictions, and other local requirements. You are advised to check the latest applicable local requirements before placing an order.

3.2 Credit Card Validation

All credit/debit cardholders are subject to validation checks and authorisation by the card issuer. If the issuer of your payment card refuses to, or does not for any reason, authorise payment then you will be notified of this immediately at the check-out stage. In assessing your request for goods or services, we may use your information for the purposes of the prevention and detection of fraud. One of the purposes for which we may disclose your address and postcode details is to check against the IMRG Security Alert or any other Fraud Prevention Scheme. At all times where we disclose your information it will remain secure. If you believe your details are incorrect you may correct those details by following the procedure set out in our privacy policy.

3.3 Verified by Visa & MasterCard SecureCode

Online shopping made safer. Scorpio is working together with Visa and MasterCard to offer you a safer shopping experience when using your credit card online. Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode follow the same principles as Chip and Pin, by helping to protect your card against unauthorised use when you shop via the Internet. If your bank or card issuer is already a part of this scheme, then you might have already noticed the Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode page appear when you last made a purchase with a participating retailer on the Internet. If your bank is yet to introduce this security measure then the following information will explain how it works and the added protection benefits of registering.

Online Protection Benefits:

Shop online with added security and peace of mind

Your personal password is linked to your card only, and not to your computer

This security scheme will help to prevent unauthorised purchases

How it Works: When you reach the checkout process at Scorpioshoes.com (or any participating retailer) you will have the opportunity to register for either Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode. Simply sign-up for the service following the online instructions that are linked directly to your card issuer, set up your new personal password once your card issuer has confirmed your identity, and continue shopping. This is a one-off registration process, so you will be able to use the same password for all future purchases you make with participating retailers. Alternatively you can contact your bank directly to register, or visit Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode for more information. Please note: If you choose not to register during the checkout process, depending on your card issuer, we may not be able to process your order. A different method of payment will be required to complete your purchase.

If you wish to cancel an order you may do so by using the CONTACT US form to initiate the cancellation process. You may also contact our Customer Service Team during office hours on (+44) 01388 814 148.

General Cancellations & Returns Policy

Your right to cancel an order starts the moment you place your order and ends 14 days from the day you receive it.

This 14 day period is the time you have to send the goods back.

During this period you may examine your goods and decide to keep them or cancel your order. Do not wear footwear outdoors during this period unless you have decided to keep them, as any cancelled orders must be returned in their original and unworn condition. You may of course try the footwear on indoors to examine if the fit is correct for you.

When your order arrives, you will find a copy of your invoice with your goods. Printed on the bottom of this invoice is your Returns Form, for you to use in the event you wish to cancel and return your order.

Scorpio Shoes will guarantee to process your refund to your original method of payment within 14 days of receipt of your accepted returned order. A returned order may not be accepted if inspection of the returned goods indicates that they have been worn outside or show excessive signs of wear, such as soles being worn down or creases in the leather, for example. I.E. The buyer has a responsibility to take reasonably good care of the goods whilst they are in their possession.

The cost of returning an order to Scorpio Shoes is to be paid by the buyer in all circumstances except where Scorpio Shoes has made an error, incorrectly supplied goods, or supplied goods that were faulty, not as described, or not suitable for the intended purpose.

Returns to Store

Scorpio Shoes reserves the right to cancel high quantity orders.

At this time, orders made on the website cannot be returned to our Newcastle store and must be returned by posting back to our Spennymoor warehouse address.

Please note that any items purchased from a retail store cannot be returned to the website and must be taken to one of our retail stores for refund or exchange.

Returns by Post

It is important that you follow the steps below to enable us to process your order efficiently and to ensure that you do not incur any unnecessary costs:

1. Detach the Returns Form from your original order invoice.

2. Fill out the Returns Form being sure to complete all the fields.

3. In the case of a fault or error, please provide a full description with your reason for return in the space provided.

4. Place your completed Returns Form with the returning item(s) (either in the original shoebox or just inside the packaging if the item was loose to begin with). The packaging is part of the product being sold and needs to be in a re-saleable condition

5. Wrap the item(s) securely in the original or suitable packaging with all tags, and accessories pertaining to the returned goods. Do not apply tape or labels directly to the branded packaging/box.

Post the item to us at the address below. We strongly recommend that you use a recorded or traceable delivery service to return your securely wrapped goods to us as we can not be responsible for goods that have not reached us because your chosen carriers have failed to deliver the goods back to us safely.

Returning goods bought as special offers

If you return all items purchased with the multi-buy discount you will be refunded with the full multi-buy value. For combination purchases ("buy one get one free" or "get the lowest priced item free"), you must return any free items or vouchers back for us to process a refund.

Returning goods which are of unsatisfactory quality, faulty, not as described or unfit for purpose

Scorpio Shoes will guarantee to refund the costs of goods that are of unsatisfactory quality, faulty, not as described or unfit for purpose.

In the event that the inspection does not confirm the complaint is genuine then a refund may be withheld or a reduction in the amount to be refunded may be made. Scorpio Shoes reserves the right to distinguish between a genuine fault and accidental, intentional or unintentional damage, or improper usage or care of a product.
