Exchange policy

You have the option to exchange a product size within 15 days of receiving your parcel, if the desired size is in stock. When the items you want to exchange are received at the Logistic center, we will conduct an inspection to ensure they meet our requirements: unused, unworn, and unwashed. For hygiene reasons, socks cannot be returned or exchanged.

The return shipping costs of the item(s) you wish to exchange will be deducted from your purchase amount. You can refer to the Returns / Exchanges page to confirm the return costs. A Coupon will be sent to your email, so you can re-purchase the desired size.

Payment methods

By purchasing one of our Services, you are authorizing us and our adjacent payment processor to charge your payment method for any purchases that may be accrued by or in connection with your purchase — this may include any applicable taxes and other potential charges. Thus, you are responsible for the prompt payment of all fees associated with your purchase, as well as providing a valid payment method. If you complete a purchase while using our Services, you’ll be asked to provide both contact and billing information such as your name, payment method information, and billing address. Additional information might be needed to verify your identity and complete your transaction. In case you’re using an adjacent payment processor to complete your purchase, e.g. Paypal, its terms and conditions must apply to your transaction.

Shipping

We work with DHL for shipping worldwide. Each order is assigned a tracking number, which you will receive via email as soon as your order is shipped. For more information about estimated delivery times, please visit the Deliveries page. Please be aware that delivery times can vary based on your location and the time of the year.

If you change your address for some reason and your order has already been confirmed, you’re responsible for any additional shipping costs. We shall not be liable for any delay caused by circumstances beyond reasonable control. If you have any questions concerning your delivery please reach out to us at customerservice@wetheknot.com.

Once you have made the full payment for your order, all EU orders are shipped such that you shouldn’t be required to make additional payments in regards to import VAT or any duties possibly charged at the point of importation of your order in the EU.


Products shipped outside the EU may be subject to charges imposed by local legislation. Thus, you are responsible for all customs and import duties needed for exporting the goods. Any additional taxes, fees, levies, or other charges necessary to clear the package through customs will also be covered in full by you.

Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. As a result, we will be unable to advise or provide any assistance on these processes. We can only recommend our customers to contact their local customs office for further information.

Once your payment is received, it can take up to 3 business days for us to send the package from our logistic center. During a busy holiday season, it may take up to 5 business days, though this is unusual. We endeavor to get your order to you in the outlined timescale, but sometimes this is out of our control. The courier’s website should be able to give you information on your order’s status, so please track it using the link in your confirmation email to see if they have more details regarding your parcel.

However, please be aware of your computer monitor’s calibration because it may not match ours — we cannot guarantee that your device’s display of colors will accurately reflect the color of our products.
