It has become a painful experience trying to return the boots I ordered which are so big. I am always a size 6 but these are at least a size 7. I’m still waiting for ‘authorisation’ to return them.... See more

Unlawful returns policy - very poor.
Shoes seem of good quality, but are in poor condition with black marks on the heel, hence I am returning them. The main issue though, is Cwen’s unlawful returns policy. Their policy states that the items need to have been *received by them* within 14 days from the date of delivery (indeed they recommend shipping no later than 7 days from delivery to meet this deadline).
The Consumer Contracts Regulations actually state that the consumer has 14 days to *advise* the retailer of their intention to return the goods, then they have a *further 14 days* to actually return the goods (so 28 days in total).
Even more annoyingly, the only option for return is to use Collect+ which is super inconvenient for me - there isn’t even an address to ship via Royal Mail at my own expense.
Really, really poor. At a bare minimum as a consumer, I can expect the retailer to have a policy that actually complies with current legislation. Definitely won’t be shopping here again.
Edited to reply to response from Cwen:
You have misunderstood the law, consumers only have to advise you of their intention to return the goods within 14days, they then have a further 14 days to actually ship the goods. I’d suggest you seek some further legal advice on this point.

Nice shoes but not great returns policy
The shoes are beautiful. Some marks on leather but still well made.
The online shopping experience though not ideal.
They don't offer refund on over 30% sale items. This was the first pair I have bought and unfortunately the sizing doesn't fit me. I am a size 6 but they were way too big. As no refund option, I exchanged with a size 5. They are too tight so now I can only hope that the leather will soften with wear. There is a credit option but what good would that be if their sizing doesn't fit the feet...
Also, have to pay for return and that varied from £5 to £11.
