SHOPPING AND ORDERING

Here you can find information about how to use the online shop and how the order process works.

HOW DO I ORDER FROM AVESU?

For legal reasons, it is only possible to order from us via our online shop. Unfortunately we cannot accept orders via phone, e-mail or fax.

We have however worked on making our online shop simple and intuitive. Once you select the department (e.g. women’s, men’s), you can sort items according to their style, size, colour, price and brand using the filter on the left side of the page. You can find more information about each item on their respective product page by clicking on the item, and can select a size by clicking on the respective size button. Once you have selected a size, click on “Add to Cart”. The item is then added to your virtual cart, which you can view by moving the mouse over the small box icon on the top right of the page. You can edit the size or quantity of an item in your cart by clicking on the pencil icon or can remove an item by clicking on the “X” icon. When you are ready to complete your order, simply click on the “Go to Checkout” button in the cart and follow the instructions.

You can pay via credit card, bank transfer or paypal. Shopping with us is safe, as all your data will be kept confidential. Find out more about our privacy policy on the following page: PRIVACY POLICY & DATA PROTECTION

WHY CAN’T I SELECT MY SIZE?

If a size is greyed out, it means the item isn’t available in that size. A dark grey size button means that the item can be reordered from the manufacturer, and the additional delivery time is shown underneath the size box.

ARE OUT OF STOCK ITEMS/MODELS REORDERED?

We often reorder models from the manufacturer, but we unfortunately can’t always say, which models or sizes can be reordered. We therefore offer an e-mail notification function, where you can request to receive a notification as soon as the item is available again. In order to request an e-mail notification, select the size that is currently unavailable and click the message underneath the size box.

HOW CAN I CANCEL MY ORDER?

If you would like to cancel an order, please contact us via e-mail or phone as soon as possible.

WHAT CAN I DO IF AN ITEM IS INCORRECTLY DELIVERED?

Occasionally we might make mistake and it could happen that an incorrect item is delivered. In this case, please contact our customer service team so that we can resolve the situation as quickly as possible.

WHY DOES THE ITEM LOOK DIFFERENT THAN IT DOES IN THE PRODUCT PHOTOS?

In rare cases, it might happen that the manufacturer slightly changes the product before they enter production. For our product photos, we often use sample models, and it is therefore possible, that slight differences occur. If you are unsatisfied with an item, please contact our customer service team or return the item to us.

avesu is a German based company. All our orders are currently shipped from our German warehouse.

When will I get my order?

Delivery times vary depending on the availability of the item and the delivery destination. This information can be found on the product pages once you have selected a size. Items that are in stock are dispatched within 1-3 working days from our German warehouse.

For more information on delivery times for your country, please see the following table.

As soon as your parcel leaves our warehouse in Germany, you will receive a dispatch confirmation via e-mail, which includes the tracking number for your parcel and instructions on how to track the status of your parcel.

What can I do if the delivery of my order is delayed?

Once parcels have been dispatched from our warehouse, it can sometimes happen that they aren’t delivered within the specified time due to customs controls, a high volume of parcels being sent or for other unknown reasons. If you have checked the parcel tracking from your dispatch confirmation e-mail and find that there has been no update for over 1 week, please contact us and we’ll do our best to find out the status of your parcel. If necessary, we will then launch a complaint with DHL. Please bear in mind that DHL’s investigation procedure can take up to 4-6 weeks. All parcels we send are insured against loss, so in the case that a parcel can’t be delivered after this period, we will refund you the full order amount.

If you receive a parcel with damaged or missing contents, please immediately contact the shipping provider who delivered the damaged parcel.

RETURNS & EXCHANGES

HOW CAN I RETURN AN ITEM?

We give customers the opportunity to return or exchange items within 100 days. Please note that for a full refund shoes must be in their original condition and not show any signs of wear. We recommend trying on shoes indoors only until you are sure about your purchase.

Please send items back with the filled out returns form that came with your order, as well as the Customs' Return Form, that is needed so your parcel will clear German customs.

Please use the parcel to send the original shoebox (or packaging) back to us, so the shoebox won't be damaged. Place the returns form in the parcel, and the Customs' Returns Form well visible on the outside of the parcel. Please do this even if your local postal service makes you fill out a seperate customs form.

If you can’t find your return forms, please contact us by either filling in the contact form or sending an e-mail to support@avesuveganshoes.com, letting us know your order number and whether you would like to exchange or return the item(s).

Please return items to the address below:

avesu GmbH
Rosenfelder Strasse 15-16
10315 Berlin
GERMANY

Once returns reach us, we aim to process them within approximately 5 working days.

CAN SHOES THAT HAVE BEEN WORN ALSO BE RETURNED?

To return shoes, they must be in their original condition, which means they mustn’t show any signs of wear. For this reason, please try on shoes indoors only.

DO I HAVE TO PAY FOR THE DELIVERY COSTS FOR RETURNS?

Unfortunately we currently aren’t able to offer free postage for returns. If you decide to exchange an item, we are happy to cover the cost of the delivery of the new item. Please return items with sufficient postage to the address below:

avesu GmbH
Rosenfelder Strasse 15-16
10315 Berlin
GERMANY

We strongly recommend that you check the shipping costs with your local postal service and/or parcel delivery services for returning any ordered items from your country to Germany.

CAN I EXCHANGE AN ITEM?

If a shoe doesn’t fit, you can exchange it by filling out the returns form that you should have received in the parcel that we sent, telling us which size you would to exchange it for.

If you prefer to get a different colour or a different item instead, please place a new order in our online shop and return the item(s) you have already received back to us to be refunded. Once your parcel reaches us, we aim to process it within approximately 5 working days.

PRODUCTS & GENERAL

ARE ALL PRODUCTS AT AVESU VEGAN?

All products from avesu are 100% vegan. We only work with manufacturers that consciously avoid using animal materials and can guarantee this.

WHICH MATERIALS ARE ITEMS PRODUCED FROM?

The majority of the ‘leather-look’ shoes are made from synthetic microfibres such as polyurethane. Additionally there are also a variety of natural materials used such as canvas, cork and nartural rubber. You can find more information about the materials here.

ARE THE PRODUCTS ON OFFER ETHICAL?

Fair working conditions are an important criterion for the selection of our products. All the manufacturers we work with produce fairly and/or support local projects for the improvement of working conditions in the region.

Furthermore we have carried out quality assurance of manufacturers‘ factories since 2014 in order to see for ourselves how the products we offer are made. We are working hard on making the information we gather transparent to you in reports about the brands like this one about the Brazilian brand ahimsa.

Any manufacturers that refuse to work with us in this respect are not included in our product range. Read more about this in our section about ethical responsibility.

CAN I ONLY ORDER ONLINE?

You can only place orders in our online shop using our website. Unfortunately we currently aren’t able to take orders via e-mail, letter, fax or phone.

IS AVESU A SUSTAINABLE ENTERPRISE?

With our holistic approach, we try to combine animal and environmental protection. Our use of green energy from Greenpeace Energy, environmen- tally friendly shipping and the energy saving fittings in our stores contribute to this. You can find more information about this here.

SHOW DOES THE ENVIRONMENTALLY FRIENDLY SHIPPING WORK?

Orders are delivered with environmentally friendly and climate neutral DHL GoGreen shipping, where the average emissions from transport is calculated and is offset via investment in various certified climate protection projects.
