We cannot take any action during this period, but will immediately make enquiries and re-send orders if delivery has not been made following the 15 working day period. International orders are generally sent via Royal Mail International Signed For and are usually delivered within a week but can take up to 28 days due to delays at customs. Most orders require a signature. If 28 days or more have passed and your order has not been received, please contact us to inform them of the delay. We would then have to launch an international track and enquiry, and as soon as we have the results we could resend accordingly.

If returning from OUTSIDE the EU please DO NOT USE COURIER SERVICES as there will be excessive clearance fees, we will either refuse delivery or charge the fees back to you. You must ensure the value on the parcel is listed as “ZERO” and you CLEARLY write "RETURNED GOODS" on the customs form and parcel itself as we will not accept parcels that incur duty charges.

7. Reglaze Service

  1. Designer Glasses Boutique offers a reglazing service, which allows you to keep your existing glasses but have them fitted with new prescription lenses. Every effort will be taken to ensure that your glasses are returned to you in a satisfactory condition but reglazing can entail some risk to the frames, as the quality and condition cannot be guaranteed prior to reglazing. Should the frame be deemed unfit for reglazing, Designer Glasses Boutique will contact you and any payment will be refunded.
  2. Due to the delicate nature of the reglazing process, Designer Glasses Boutique cannot guarantee to return original lenses if broken or damaged during production.
  3. In the unlikely event any damage is caused during reglazing Designer Glasses Boutique cannot be held responsible. Designer Glasses Boutique will not accept liability in the unlikely event that a customer's own frame is damaged during the glazing process or is lost in the post. Sending a frame for reglaze, is at the customers own risk.
