Why does my shoebox have postage labels and tape on it?
To cut our cardboard waste by more than 45%, we designed a durable shoebox that acts as a shipping carton so there is no excess use of cardboard. If you order 1 pair of shoes, it will be shipped by itself with no extra box to contain it, meaning it will have some tape and postage labels on it.
If you have ordered 1 pair of shoes as a gift or want to keep the shoebox in new condition to keep, you may request to have it shipped in an extra carton to protect it from postage labels. Please just add a note in the notes section in your cart.
- How much are customs fees usually? From what we know through customer experiences, it is usually a minimal fee of around $10-20 USD depending on the size of your order.
Returns for Exchange/Store Credit/Refund
- Please try on a clean carpeted surface in case exchange is required - any shoes returned with marks on the soles or upper will incur a 30 USD damage fee
- Return requests must be submitted within 14 days of receiving the parcel and in original condition with original dustbag and shoebox
- Any goods not received due to late collection or unpaid customs taxes will only be resent upon the repayment of $10 USD postage
