Customs and import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.

Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the cost might be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. It might be a good idea to contact your local customs office for current charges before you order, so you are not surprised by charges you were not expecting.

The customer must take full liability for any parcels returned to us due to unpaid customs charges. Postal charges, return shipment costs, customs charges and handling fees will all be deductible from any refund due.

Customs clearance, if applicable (outside the EU), is operated by DHL / DPD / GLS before the physical arrival of the goods.

We use Bpost to send all of our Belgium orders.

Depending on where you are located and the type of shipping method you choose, we use national post, DPD or DHL

We reserve the right to use discretion in circumstances where it makes more sense to use an alternative delivery method.

Should you be unavailable to sign for the parcel you can select, depending on your location, from a number of options including, collection from Depot, leave in a safe place, deliver with a neighbour.  If they attempt delivery and you are not available they will leave a card detailing how to proceed with regard to re-delivery or collection. They will usually re-attempt delivery up to 3 times before returning your parcel to us.

You will receive a dispatch confirmation email once your order has been shipped. This email will also contain your tracking information.

If we are unable to deliver your package, according to your chosen delivery option, it will automatically be returned to Sweet Lemon. We'll keep in touch with you to organize a new delivery.

Cleaning your shoes regularly gives them a longer life, so remember to wipe off mud, dust and dirt after wearing them. For suede you can remove dry dirt with a special suede rubber that brushes the surface gently.

Use shoe trees after you’ve worn the shoes and when you store them. It helps to keep their shape and also to dry them out. Just make sure the shoe trees are the correct size, and use a shoe horn when putting your shoes on so the back isn’t crushed.

Wet shoes should be dried slowly in a natural, warm environment. Avoid heat (no hair dryers, fan heaters or radiators) because it will dry out and weaken the leather which can lead to cracking. Simply fill them with newspaper to help pull out the moisture. Before the shoes have dried completely you can tuck in shoe trees to make sure they return to their proper shape. Remember to give them some love with shoe polish or spray (depending on the type of leather or suede) once they are dry.

We have leather soles on some of our shoes. Be kind to them and have your local shoemaker add a rubber sole if you plan to use them as everyday shoes in a cold, rainy or snowy climate. It’s also a good idea to check the heels for wear every once in a while and have them replaced if necessary.

New leather or suede shoes need to be treated before use so they are better protected against dirt and rainy days. Smooth and shiny leather should be conditioned with polish while a water repellent spray is the best choice for suede and dull leather.

From day one, protect your bag with a reputable cream. Remember to wipe with the grain of leather to avoid ruining it. Keep your bag stuffed while you’re not using it to help keep its shape better, and don’t leave it in direct sunlight because that could cause fading.
