Shipping Information

What are the delivery times and postage costs?

We are proud to work with DHL for our deliveries worldwide or mail providers such as Royal Mail. Please be aware that all delivery times stated are guides only and we shall not be liable for any costs incurred for late delivery.

Most of our shoes are despatched using DHL and you can track the parcel's progress by logging into your account at Herring Shoes, viewing your orders and clicking the DHL link for the order you are tracking.

We also e-mail you the tracking number so you can watch your order progress using DHL’s state of the art tracking system at www.dhl.com.

Please be aware that we use tracked delivery services due to the value of most of the items we ship, therefore we require a signature/identification on delivery. If you want a parcel left unattended at your property, we may be able to help, but you must be aware that once the item is scanned by the delivery driver as delivered we will not be liable for any loss. This means that, although we will ensure the item is delivered by the driver, we cannot accept any responsibility if the parcel is missing or damaged. We would always recommend signing for the item personally.

Please note Jersey and Guernsey are not in the UK but are Crown dependencies. It may be best to choose Royal Mail as a cheaper option.

Royal Mail

If you select the non-standard option of a Royal Mail delivery service you may have to pay different amounts to those shown above, depending on what country you are in and what products and quantities you are ordering. In all cases the delivery will be clearly displayed in your basket before you are asked to provide any personal information.

Delivery Times

UK orders via DHL are normally delivered next working day if the shoes are in stock and the order is placed before 1pm. Herring shoes are always in stock but other brands may not be. If your order is urgent please call us and check availability before ordering. Europe is normally 3-6 days from date of despatch and outside Europe is normally 3-6 Days from date of despatch.

Customs and TAX

Please note that orders from NON-UK countries have 20% tax deducted at source when you select the country of delivery on our site. Customers may incur some small Duty or Tax payment on delivery depending on your country's import laws. This is paid to DHL on delivery as they fast track customs by paying the duty for you and there may also be a handling fee. Import duties and handling fees are not Herring Shoes' responsibility. If you refuse to accept delivery and we have to get the shoes returned to us you will have to pay the courier and any duty costs out of any refund we make to you.

In the event of replacements or repairs being sent to non-UK countries no duty is normally charged.

Please read the section above regarding returns, exchanges and refunds for additional information.

Will you deliver to an address that is not my Card holder address?

Yes we will on most occasions. We may sometimes, however, have to insist that an order is delivered to the registered card address as a way to mitigate fraud which is at our discretion.

Free Delivery Offers

We are able to offer free delivery to some countries but there are some limitations that apply so please read these terms and conditions carefully.

In the UK all deliveries and returns are free.
