Thank you for buying from Ele Handmade Shoes! Shortly after your purchase, you will receive a confirmation email including your order number and a summary of the products purchased.

If you have not received the confirmation email for your order 24 hours after making the purchase, most frequently the reason is that there has been an error in the email address you provided or the mail ended into the spam folder. If the email is not in the spam folder, please contact me, I will be happy to help!

The codes will not apply to products on sale, unless otherwise specified.

- I have a problem with my order, what can I do?

If you have any issue with the following: order status, changes in delivery address, errors when placing the order, erroneous products, etc., please contact me so I can help you.

If the change is about size, style or color and it´s requested before I started to craft the shoes, it´s possible to modify it and it´s free of charge.

If the change of style, size or color is requested once I´ll already started to craft your shoes, sorry, it can´t be accepted.

If the change is about address and it´s requested before your order has shipped, it is possible to make a change in the delivery address.
