We appreciate your patience and assure you that every message is important to us.

3. Order Support

We provide comprehensive support for all aspects of your order. From the moment you place an order to the moment it arrives at your door, we are here to assist you.

3.1 Order Confirmation

After placing an order, you will receive an order confirmation email. This email contains your order number, the items purchased, the shipping address, and the total amount charged. Please review this information carefully. If you notice any errors, contact us immediately so we can correct them before the order is processed.

3.2 Order Modifications

We understand that mistakes happen. If you need to change the size, color, or shipping address on your order, please email us as soon as possible. Order modifications are only possible if the order has not yet entered the processing stage. Once an order has been processed or shipped, modifications are no longer possible, and you will need to follow our return process.

3.3 Order Cancellations

You may request to cancel your order within 12 hours of placing it. After this window, the order may already be in processing and cancellation may not be possible. If you no longer want an item that has already shipped, you can refuse delivery or initiate a return once the package is received.

3.4 Order Status and Tracking

Once your order ships, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with a tracking number. This tracking number allows you to monitor your package's progress. If you have not received a tracking email within three business days of placing your order, please contact us. We can verify whether your order has been shipped or is still being processed.

4. Shipping and Delivery Support

We offer free standard shipping on all orders, with an estimated delivery time of 6 to 12 business days. All orders are processed within 1 to 3 business days. We do not currently offer expedited shipping options.

4.1 Tracking Your Order

Tracking information is sent via email as soon as your order leaves our fulfillment center. Tracking updates may take up to 48 hours to appear in the carrier's system. If your tracking status has not updated after 48 hours, please email us and we will investigate.

4.2 Delivery Issues

If your package is marked as delivered but you have not received it, please check with household members, neighbors, or your building's mailroom. If you still cannot locate the package, contact us within 7 days of the delivery date. We will work with the shipping carrier to resolve the issue.

4.3 Incorrect or Damaged Items

We take great care in packing and inspecting every order. However, if you receive the wrong item or an item that is damaged, please contact us immediately. Include your order number, a description of the issue, and clear photos of the item and packaging. We will arrange a replacement or refund at no additional cost to you.

5.1 Initiating a Return

To start a return, email us at press@drmartensshop.net with your order number and the reason for the return. We will provide you with a return authorization and a prepaid return shipping label. Please do not send items back without a return authorization, as this may delay the process.

  • All tags and original packaging must be included
  • Shoes must be returned in the original shoebox, placed inside a protective outer box or shipping bag

You will receive an email confirmation when the refund has been processed. Depending on your bank or card issuer, it may take additional time for the refund to appear on your statement.

5.4 Exchanges

We do not offer direct exchanges. If you need a different size or color, please return the original item for a refund and place a new order. This ensures the fastest and most accurate processing of your request.
