Frequently Asked Questions

Welcome to the Sneakers Villa Frequently Asked Questions page. Here you can find helpful information about ordering, payments, shipping, delivery, cancellations, returns, refunds, products, and customer support.

Please review the questions below before contacting us, as your answer may already be available here. For further assistance, contact our customer service team using the details provided at the end of this page.

Orders

How do I place an order?

Browse our website and select the product you would like to purchase. Choose the available colour, size, design, or other product option where applicable, and then click the button to add the product to your basket.

Once you are ready, proceed to checkout and enter your contact, delivery, billing, and payment details. Review all information carefully before submitting your order.

Do I need an account to place an order?

You may be able to place an order as a guest where guest checkout is available. Creating a customer account may allow you to manage your details, view previous orders, and access available account features more easily.

How will I know that my order has been received?

After successfully placing an order, you should receive an order confirmation email at the email address provided during checkout.

Please check your inbox, spam, junk, and promotions folders. If you do not receive confirmation within a reasonable time, contact us with your full name and the email address used during checkout.

Can I change my order after placing it?

Contact us as soon as possible if you need to change a product, colour, quantity, or delivery detail.

We will make reasonable efforts to help, but changes cannot be guaranteed once your order has entered processing, packing, fulfilment, or dispatch.

Can I add another product to an existing order?

Products cannot normally be added to an order after checkout has been completed. You may need to place a separate order for any additional products.

Separate orders may be processed and delivered independently.

Can I place an order by telephone or email?

Orders should normally be placed securely through our website. For your security, please do not send complete payment card information by email or telephone.

Can I order products for resale?

Our standard website orders are intended primarily for personal use. Please contact us before placing a wholesale, bulk, trade, or resale order.

Order Cancellation

Can I cancel my order?

Yes. Contact us as soon as possible after placing your order. We will make reasonable efforts to cancel it before processing or dispatch.

Cancellation cannot be guaranteed once your order has entered fulfilment, packing, or shipping.

How do I request an order cancellation?

Email us at info@sneakersvilla.co.uk and include:

  • Your full name
  • Your order number
  • The email address used for the order
  • The product or products you wish to cancel
  • A clear statement requesting cancellation
What happens if my order has already been dispatched?

Once an order has been dispatched, it can normally no longer be stopped through our fulfilment system.

You may need to wait for delivery and then request a return in accordance with our Return and Refund Policy.

How long do I have to cancel an eligible online order?

Customers may normally notify us of their decision to cancel an eligible online order within 14 calendar days after receiving it.

Certain exclusions may apply to personalised, customised, hygiene-sensitive, or other legally excluded products.

Can Sneakers Villa cancel my order?

We may cancel an order for legitimate reasons, including product unavailability, payment failure, an invalid delivery address, an obvious pricing error, suspected fraud, or a fulfilment problem.

If payment has already been collected, the relevant amount will be refunded to the original payment method.

Payment

Which payment methods do you accept?

We accept the payment methods displayed during checkout. Depending on availability, these may include:

  • Visa
  • Mastercard
  • American Express
  • Maestro
  • Apple Pay
  • Google Pay
  • Shop Pay
  • PayPal, where available
  • Other payment methods supported through Shopify

Only payment options displayed at checkout are available for the relevant order.

Is payment secure?

Yes. Our store operates through Shopify and uses secure payment processing systems. Payment information is transmitted using encrypted connections and processed by authorised payment providers.

Sneakers Villa does not normally receive or store your complete payment card number or card security code.

When will I be charged?

Your payment may be authorised or collected when you complete checkout, depending on the payment method and payment provider.

Your bank may temporarily display a pending authorisation before the transaction is fully completed.

Why was my payment declined?

A payment may be declined because of incorrect card details, insufficient funds, an expired card, an incorrect billing address, a bank security restriction, or a payment provider risk check.

Please check your information carefully or contact your bank or payment provider for further assistance.

Why is my payment showing as pending?

A pending payment may be a temporary authorisation placed by your bank or payment provider.

If an order is cancelled or unsuccessful, the bank may release the pending amount rather than showing a separate refund. Release times are controlled by the bank or payment provider.

Can I use more than one discount code?

Unless expressly stated otherwise, only one promotional or discount code may be used per order.

Discount codes may also have expiry dates, product exclusions, minimum purchase values, or other conditions.

Can I apply a discount code after placing my order?

Discount codes must normally be entered before checkout is completed. We cannot guarantee that a promotion can be applied after an order has been submitted.

Processing and Shipping

How long does order processing take?

Our standard processing time is 1–3 business days.

Processing includes payment verification, order review, picking, quality checks, packing, and preparation for dispatch.

What is your daily order cut-off time?

Our daily order cut-off time is 9:00 PM UK time.

Orders placed after the cut-off may begin processing on the next business day.

How long does shipping take?

Our estimated shipping time is 5-7 business days after processing.

The estimated total delivery time, including processing and shipping, is 8–10 days.

Are delivery dates guaranteed?

Delivery times are estimates provided in good faith and are not guaranteed unless a specific guaranteed service is expressly offered.

Delays may occur because of carrier disruption, public holidays, severe weather, high seasonal demand, address issues, remote locations, or circumstances outside our reasonable control.

Which shipping carriers do you use?

Orders may be delivered through:

  • Royal Mail
  • FedEx
  • DHL
  • An authorised local or fulfilment delivery partner where required

The selected carrier may depend on the delivery address, parcel size, fulfilment location, and service availability.

Do you offer free shipping?

Available shipping costs and delivery options will be displayed on our website or during checkout before payment is completed.

Where free shipping is offered, any applicable conditions will be clearly stated.

Do you ship outside the United Kingdom?

Available delivery destinations are shown during checkout. If your country or postcode cannot be selected, we may not currently offer delivery to that location.

Are business days the same as calendar days?

No. Business days normally mean Monday to Friday and exclude Saturdays, Sundays, UK bank holidays, and public holidays.

Tracking and Delivery

How can I track my order?

When tracking becomes available, you will normally receive a dispatch or tracking email containing your tracking number or tracking link.

Tracking may take some time to update after a shipping label is created.

Why has my tracking information not updated?

Tracking may not update immediately after dispatch. Carriers may require time to collect, scan, sort, and enter a parcel into their network.

Tracking scans may also be delayed while a parcel is moving between facilities.

Why did I receive more than one tracking number?

An order may be divided into multiple parcels because of product availability, parcel size, or fulfilment arrangements.

Separate parcels may have different tracking numbers, carriers, dispatch dates, and delivery dates.

What should I do if my order is delayed?

Check the latest tracking information first. If your parcel has not arrived after the estimated delivery period, contact us with your order number.

We will review the available tracking information and provide reasonable assistance.

What should I do if my parcel is marked as delivered but I cannot find it?

Please check:

  • A safe place around the delivery address
  • With household members
  • With neighbours
  • A reception desk or concierge
  • Any delivery photograph or carrier notice
  • The exact address shown in your order confirmation

If the parcel still cannot be found, contact us promptly with your order number and tracking information.

What happens if nobody is available to receive my parcel?

The carrier may leave the parcel in an authorised safe place, deliver it to a neighbour, attempt redelivery, or take it to a collection point.

Please follow any instructions shown in the carrier’s tracking information.

What happens if I do not collect my parcel?

If a parcel is not collected, it may be returned to the sender. Failure to collect a parcel does not automatically cancel your order.

Additional delivery or return costs may apply where permitted, particularly where the parcel was returned because it was not collected or the customer provided incorrect information.

Can I change my delivery address?

Contact us immediately if you need to request an address change. We will try to update the address before dispatch, but we cannot guarantee changes once processing has begun.

Address changes may also be restricted for payment security reasons.

What happens if I entered the wrong address?

Contact us immediately with the correct address. If the parcel has not been dispatched, we may be able to update it.

Sneakers Villa is not responsible for delays or failed deliveries caused by incomplete or incorrect information entered by the customer.

Returns

What is your return period?

Customers may normally notify us of their decision to return an eligible product within 14 calendar days after receiving it.

After notifying us, the product should normally be returned within the period stated in our Return and Refund Policy.

How do I request a return?

Contact us at info@sneakersvilla.co.uk before sending any product.

Please provide:

  • Your full name
  • Your order number
  • The product you wish to return
  • The reason for the return
  • Photographs where the product is faulty, damaged, or incorrect

We will provide the correct return instructions and authorised return destination.

Can I return a product without contacting you?

No. Please contact us before returning a product so that we can provide the correct instructions and return destination.

Unauthorised returns may be delayed, misdirected, or difficult to identify.

Can I return an item to your business address?

Do not send returns to our business contact address unless our customer service team expressly confirms that it is the authorised return destination.

What condition must returned products be in?

Returned products should be complete and securely packaged, with all original accessories, straps, labels, dust bags, packaging, instructions, and included components wherever reasonably possible.

Products should not show damage caused by misuse, neglect, alteration, excessive handling, or improper return packaging.

Can I inspect a product before deciding whether to return it?

Yes. You may inspect a product to the extent reasonably necessary to establish its appearance, nature, characteristics, fit, and basic functionality.

A refund may be reduced where permitted by law if excessive handling causes a genuine reduction in value.

Who pays the return shipping cost?

Customers are normally responsible for the direct cost of returning a product where the return is based solely on a change of mind.

Sneakers Villa will cover reasonable return costs or provide an approved return method where a product is confirmed to be faulty, damaged on arrival, incorrectly supplied, or not as described.

Can I exchange a product?

Exchanges may be available for faulty, damaged, or incorrectly supplied products, subject to stock availability.

For a preference-based change, we may ask you to return the original product for a refund and place a new order for your preferred product.

Can sale items be returned?

Eligible sale or promotional products may normally be returned subject to the same statutory rights and return requirements as regularly priced products.

Any refund will be based on the amount actually paid after discounts were applied.

Are any products excluded from change-of-mind returns?

Certain products may be excluded where permitted by law, including:

  • Personalised or customised products
  • Products made to the customer’s specifications
  • Sealed hygiene-sensitive products once unsealed
  • Products that deteriorate or expire rapidly
  • Other products lawfully excluded from cancellation rights

These exclusions do not remove your rights where a product is faulty, damaged, incorrect, or misdescribed.

Refunds

How long does a refund take?

Approved refunds are normally processed within 7 business days after an eligible return has been received and inspected, or after an approved pre-dispatch cancellation.

Your bank or payment provider may require additional time to display the refunded amount.

How will I receive my refund?

Refunds are normally issued to the original payment method used for the purchase.

For security reasons, we cannot normally refund a different card, bank account, or person.

Will my original delivery charge be refunded?

Where an entire eligible online order is validly cancelled, the least expensive standard delivery charge offered may be refundable where required by law.

Additional charges paid for an upgraded, express, premium, or enhanced service may not be refundable.

Why have I not received my refund yet?

First check whether the stated processing period has passed. After we issue a refund, your bank, card issuer, PayPal, or digital wallet provider may require additional processing time.

Contact your payment provider if the refund confirmation has been issued but the funds are not yet visible.

Can a refund be reduced?

Where permitted by law, a refund may be reduced to reflect a genuine loss in product value caused by handling beyond what was reasonably necessary to inspect it.

Any deduction will be assessed fairly and will not affect rights that cannot lawfully be limited.

Faulty, Damaged, Incorrect, or Missing Products

What should I do if my product arrives damaged?

Contact us promptly and provide:

  • Your order number
  • A description of the damage
  • Clear photographs of the product
  • Photographs of the outer packaging
  • A photograph of the shipping label

Please keep the product and packaging while we review the issue.

What should I do if I receive the wrong product?

Contact us promptly with your order number and photographs of the product, packaging, and shipping label.

We will review the issue and provide an appropriate resolution.

What should I do if an item is missing from my order?

Check your dispatch emails first, as products may have been sent in separate parcels.

If all parcels have arrived and an item is still missing, contact us with photographs of everything received, the packaging, shipping label, and any packing document.

What happens if my product is faulty?

Contact us with details and supporting photographs. Depending on the circumstances and your legal rights, an appropriate remedy may include a repair, replacement, price reduction, or refund.

Should I dispose of a damaged product?

No. Please keep the product, packaging, labels, and accessories until we confirm the next steps.

Disposing of the product before the issue is reviewed may affect our ability to assess the claim.

Products

Are your product images accurate?

We aim to present product images and descriptions as accurately as possible.

Colours may appear slightly different because of lighting, photography, screen settings, and display quality. Minor variations in texture, stitching, dimensions, or finish may also occur.

Are product measurements exact?

Product measurements are approximate unless expressly stated otherwise. Small manufacturing or manual measurement variations may occur.

Please review the product description and dimensions carefully before ordering.

How should I care for my bag?

Product care depends on the relevant material. As general guidance:

  • Avoid overloading the product
  • Keep it away from excessive moisture and heat
  • Do not use harsh chemicals or abrasive cleaners
  • Wipe gently using a suitable soft cloth
  • Allow the product to dry naturally
  • Store it in a clean and dry location

Always follow any specific care information supplied with the product.

Will an out-of-stock product return?

Some products may be restocked, but availability cannot be guaranteed. Please check the relevant product page for current stock information.

Do products include accessories shown in photographs?

Only items clearly listed in the product description are included. Decorative items, personal belongings, clothing, or props used in lifestyle photographs may not be included.
