Calvert Shoes – Crockett & Jones Women & Men Sale
OK so never heard of this website and I know it's showing as being in the US. So different rules may apply, import duty, etc.
But they are selling C&J shoes at about 10% of what they might sell for in the UK. And so there's a few alarm bells going off.
I can't find anything nasty about them online. Can anyone reassure me? (or not)

Given they don't provide any physical address on their site, tell you returns need to be sent to "physical address" and use a Gmail address if you need to contact them I wouldn't touch them with someone else's bargepole .3

They have a pair of boots on there that are £625 on the Crockett and Jones site. They are selling them for £67. The shoes will be poor quality knockoffs. C&J shoes are hand made in Northampton. It takes several weeks to make a pair that's why they're expensive.Come on you Irons1

So a company is offering shoes at 90% less than the company that hand makes them...
If it walks like a duck, quacks like a duck...well, you know the rest.
I suggest you read this page:
Privacy Policy – Calvert Shoes
'suggested text'?
Really?
When someone set up this website by copying and pasting from other websites, they didn't do a good enough job.
Also:
Shipping – Calvert ShoesDoes this website sell flowers?Several types of goods are exempt from being returned. Perishable goods such as food, flowers, newspapers or magazines cannot be returned. We also do not accept products that are intimate or sanitary goods, hazardous materials, or flammable liquids or gases.
Additional non-returnable items:

Food?
Newspapers?
So many red flags.
Turn around and run as fast as you can (even if it's not in a pair of Crockett & Jones shoes).1 -

Nothing about returns/refund policy
Echo above.
Just grab the door on the way out to stop other from buying from them..Life in the slow lane1 -
They say they're governed by the "laws of the USA". Shouldn't that be the laws of the US State they're based in rather than the USA as a country? (Not that they give an actual address for their company).
They say they ship TO the USA, despite supposedly being based in the USA?
Terms and Conditions look like a generic cut and paste job.
I say avoid.1 -
Thanks all for the confirmation - my main concern was that it looked too good to be true.I’m a Forum Ambassador and I support the Forum Team on Debt Free Wannabe, Old Style Money Saving and Pensions boards.
