DELIVERY ARRANGEMENTS
Your shopping basket displays the goods you have purchased with an indication of the delivery timescale. We will notify you if your goods are not able to be dispatched within this timescale, e.g. some ‘made to order’ goods may take longer. The costs for delivery are shown depending on the shipping destination and the delivery service selected. Any delivery times quoted are estimates, based on availability and normal delivery time. Please note that there may be some products that we do not ship to certain destinations, which will be indicated in the shopping basket. Should a delivery of goods be returned by a courier, through no fault of our own, then we reserve the right to deduct any carriage fee charged from any subsequent refund.
Any specific timescales for delivery and/or collection which the Company gives are estimates only, this includes 24hr service. The Company shall not be deemed to be in breach of the Contract or have any liability to the Customer (whether in contract, tort, negligence or otherwise and howsoever arising) for any failure to fulfil any delivery and/or collection within any specified timescales.
If your order is under £75.00 you will have the option to pay for economy delivery or priority delivery. If we are unable to dispatch next day and it is at fault of the business you will be reimbursed the difference between Economy and Priority Shipping only.

- Most merchants will provide returns information in with the delivery note/invoice. Where you wish to return goods and do not have returns information, you can contact customer services for the returns address of the particular supplier(s) you ordered from. Whichever way, it is vital that you enclose a covering letter with the return detailing your name, full address, order number and reason for return (please also specify whether you require an exchange or refund). We recommend that you use Recorded Delivery, as proof of shipping is not proof of receipt.

Should inspection fail to take place within the said period then we will dispose of the products as we see fit. You will also be notified of the disposal.
We charge a 15% restocking fee on all returned items, and payment for the return of the products must be paid by the customer.
When a cancellation of an order has been made and a return accepted following the order being dispatched, we reserve the right to deduct the carriage paid from any subsequent refund.

Some Guidelines to help you
- Boots are leaking
Complaints about leakage without an obvious fault are mostly due to the dampness caused by sweaty feet! Please put the boots in a bucket of water
with a weight and old paper inside. This way you can easily test if the boots are indeed leaking.
- Cuts behind the toecap
Dunlop Purofort boots have a cross-linked structure that provides flexibility and strength. Purofort material does not tear.
Cuts behind the toecap or at the boot are generally caused by normal use. For instance heavy equipment and/or cattle. Also frequent kneeling on
one knee (dairy environment) can have an impact. These complaints are not covered by our warranty policy.
In case of any doubts, please check the thickness of the material. With a minimum thickness of at least 3 mm, the Purofort material offers its well knownstrength and functionality.
- Small air bubble / small pinhole
A Purofort boot can have tiny pinholes or air bubbles. This is inherent to the material. The Purofort material is a unique material with millions of evenly distributed air pockets. A tiny air bubble is one of these small air pockets and does not mean that the boot is leaking. Behind these small pinholes there is sufficient Purofort material. Small air bubbles and small pinholes do not affect the functionality of the boot.
