Faulty Goods
Without prejudice to your statutory rights.
If you think that your goods are faulty please either contact our customer service team or return the goods following the returns procedure. We advise against repairing any faults as we are unable to reimburse you for the repair. It could also invalidate your return if the initial fault is no longer visible. If your invoice has been lost, please contact Customer Services on customer.services@startriteshoes.com or call 0344 561 7263 for the freepost details.
We recommend that you get proof of postage from the courier. 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 (we are unable to offer replacements)
- • if the items are found not to be faulty, return them to you
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, we would expect children's shoes to remain in good condition for three months during normal wear, however we are happy to accept them back for an assessment after this period.
If on receipt of your parcel it is damaged, please refuse to accept the parcel and our delivery company will return it to us. If you are out at the time of delivery and it is left according to your instructions and you find it to be damaged, please contact customer.services@startriteshoes.com and quote your order number.
Please note that goods purchased through a retailer need to be returned to that retailer.
