We have tried to answer some of the questions we think you might ask.

However, if you have a query that we haven’t answered, please contact us on shop@cordings.co.uk

Question: How to order on this site
Answer: Making a purchase in the Cordings on-line store could not be easier. Simply click on the item you wish to purchase (if you wish to view the garment more closely click the zoom button or click on the garment itself), next click the size and colour you want, followed by a click on ‘Add To Basket’. You will then be shown the item you have put in your basket and can now continue shopping or choose to checkout. When checking out you can then view the contents of your shopping basket and alter quantities, remove items, return to the online store to continue shopping or clear your basket entirely.

If you are a new shopper click register, where you will be taken through the simple registration process.

Question: How does one pay & what sort of Security is in place?

Question: What happens if I don’t like the items or they do not fit?
Answer: No problem. Just send the items back to us for either exchange or a full refund. If it is convenient to you we also except returns in our Piccadilly store. We ask that all items are returned in saleable condition within 28 days of purchase.

Question: Why is this product on the site if you are completely sold out?
Answer: We are very sorry if an item you would like to order is sold out or is delayed. We really do try and make sure that as many items as possible are in stock. Having good stock availability not only means happier and better-dressed customers but also more sales and a happier accounts department. We have a team of staff dedicated to trying to predict sales and how many of each colour and each size of each individual product we should order. Unfortunately this is not an exact science - and every season some items sell far better than expected (and some not so well). In addition, since everything is made exclusively for us, it often takes three or four months to get repeat deliveries, and sometimes because of the exclusivity of our fabrics we are unable to repeat them at all. We do sincerely apologise if an item that you want to order is out of stock and hate this problem as much as you do.

Question: Can I have free postage on my order?
Answer: We know you all like free postage. We have considered offering it all the time but the costs would have to be absorbed somewhere else (i.e. the price of the clothes going up). This is a genuine charge that we have to pay and therefore we have no alternative other than to ask you to contribute to this cost.

Question: Why don't you always offer free returns when most of your competitors do?
Answer: Again, as mentioned earlier, it would mean the costs being pushed on to the clothes. The costs are more transparent this way.
