Can I order by telephone?
Yes you can now order your Dukes boots via telephone. Simply give us a call on freephone 0800 888 6268.
How do I know if an item is in stock?
Most items shown are in stock. If a product does not appear in a specific size in the 'Size' or 'Colour' drop-down, this means the item is out of stock. Please be aware that even if the product is in your shopping bag it isn't reserved and will therefore be available to other customers while you are browsing. If you complete your order and we are out of stock, we will be in touch within 5 hours to inform you. Please note that during particularly busy periods, whilst we endeavour to hold all all product variations, we do occasionally sell out and will get in touch with you ASAP.
What if you are out of stock?
If an item you are interested in is out of stock, please email us to inform us of your interest. We can order products in specifically for you, so it is worth the call! Drop us an email to hello@dukesboots.com.
How will I know if you have received my order?
After you place your order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that your order has been received. This does not mean that we have accepted your order. Only after your credit card details have been approved, the delivery address has been verified and the item(s) located, will your order be accepted and the item(s) shipped. At which point you will receive a second email from us confirming your order. Should any of the item(s) you have ordered be unavailable you will be quickly informed of the out-of-stock piece(s) and your payment for the item(s) will not be processed.
What packaging will my order arrive in?
All orders are shipped in Dukes boot boxes wrapped in heavy duty Dukes postal bags.
Delivery & Returns
What are the delivery costs and options?
All of our orders are sent out via UPS. Delivery to the UK costs £5.00 and takes between 1-2 working days. Unfortunately we do not offer a guaranteed next day delivery, although all items are sent via UPS Express and so arrive the next day.
Where does Dukes deliver to?
Dukes are delivered worldwide. Please see the note above for International postage prices.
Will I need to sign for my order?
All deliveries require a signature upon arrival: this is for security and privacy reasons. Please ensure that you are available at the delivery address to accept your delivery. If your parcel is not signed for, you will receive a card providing you with instructions to rearrange a delivery or collect your parcel from your local depot. If your delivery fails repeatedly you may be charged again to re-dispatch your order.
Can I change my delivery details once my order has been dispatched?
Unfortunately we are unable to redirect an order once it has been dispatched. Please ensure that you provide a suitable shipping address when you place an order.
What currencies can I pay in?
Unfortunately we only accept payment in Great British Pounds. Your bank will convert your currency into GBP for you.
What VAT is charged on my order?
UK VAT is charged on all orders - it is included in the product price and equates to 20%.
What happens with Customs and Duty?
If you are buying goods for delivery to an EU address, then there are no applicable local taxes or duties other than UK VAT which is already included in product prices. For deliveries outside of the EU, customs and duty will be charged by the Country to which you are having your product delivered - this is the responsibility of the customer to pay - Customs and Duties are not settled pre-shipment.
