Q: Is it safe to use my credit card on your website?

A: Yes. We guarantee that any purchase you make on the Shoebuy.com website will be 100% safe. Every Shoebuy.com purchase is backed by the Shoebuy.com 100% Safe Purchase Guarantee and Shoebuy's servers use Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), an encryption technology that works with Microsoft Internet Explorer, Netscape, and AOL's browser, so that only Shoebuy can read a buyer's personal information. Shopping online at Shoebuy is statistically safer than using your credit card at a restaurant or department store. Technical experts point out that online purchases without human intervention are far safer than traditional credit card transactions because the information is immediately encrypted into a scrambled message that can only be decrypted by an authorized computer.

Q: Is it safe to use my debit card on your website?

A: Yes. Please note that if you choose to pay by debit card, the amount you charge will be put on "hold", meaning it will not be available to you once you place your order. When your order is shipped, your order total will be withdrawn from your account and the original "hold" will be voided.

Q: How long does it take to receive my order?

A: Allow 3-10 business days for receipt within the United States when you order with free UPS Standard Ground Service. Receipt of international orders takes 5-14 business days. As a general rule, processing time plus shipping time equals total delivery time. Due to the large number of manufacturers we deal with, processing time typically ranges from 24 hours to 5 business days. Processing time includes receiving your order, transmitting the information to the appropriate manufacturer, and packing the item for shipping. After processing is complete and shipping begins, shipping time is the UPS transit time from the manufacturer of the item you ordered to your shipping address.

Q: What are the shipping costs?

For non-U.S. orders, shipping costs are based on product weight and destination address. To see shipping costs for non-U.S. orders, add items to your shopping cart and proceed to check out. All costs and terms of service will be presented before you complete the order.

Q: Why won't my order go through?

A: Below are the most common explanations for an order not going through:

  • If the error message references billing address verification error, this typically indicates that the credit card company or the network they use has coded a different billing address than you provided. If you moved within the past 6-9 months, you may want to enter the old billing address and try again. Please note you may want to contact your credit card (or bank) first as each attempt will place a hold on the funds being attempted for pre-authorization.

  • If the error message references the order is being refused, please contact your credit card company (or bank) to determine their reason for the refusal.

  • If you experience an error after checking out of the shopping cart, but before entering any other information, this typically indicates that your computer is not set to accept cookies. You can either enable cookies on your computer or contact Shoebuy.com Customer Service toll-free at 1-888-200-8414 or from outside the U.S. at 1-617-451-2880 to complete your order over the phone.
