If you bought cedar shoe trees and you are under the impression they are too small or too large, we advise you to try adjusting the nose part of the trees by turning the screw in the middle hole of the nose part tighter or looser. This will enable you to set the tension of the trees. Custom engraved products cannot be returned.
I have received a defective or an incorrect product. How do I return these products?
If we shipped a different product than the one you ordered or if you received a broken product we can in most cases we offer to send you a replacement product. If that is not possible due to time constraints or other reasons we can also offer you a full refund instead after you ship back the incorrect item. If products need to be shipped back to us we will either request you to ship back the products back to us using a local parcel service or have the package picked up and give you a pre-paid shipping label. If neither of these two are suitable solutions we can also look at different way of solving the problem depending on the situation. Of course in this case we will contact you with a fitting proposal.
