Yes. We use industry standard Secure Socket Layer (SSL) encryption; details such as your name, address and other critically sensitive information are encrypted before the information transfers from your computer to our system. You know when a page is secure because a padlock symbol shows in the status bar or address bar of your browser, (please check your individual browsers help pages if you are unsure where the padlock should appear). We do not hold any details of your Credit/Debit cards on our database to ensure your maximum security. All Credit/Debit card payment processing is actioned by our PCI payment provider Sage Pay.

- How do I change details on my fredperry.com account?

- How do I sign up for your newsletter?
If you want to be kept informed of seasonal launches, special collections & collaborations, sale information and more, you will need to create an account. You don't have to buy anything, but when you do want to start shopping, your details are already on our system.
- Do you have a size guide/conversion charts?
Yes, we have separate size guides for men's, women's and kids, as well as conversion charts for footwear and women's clothing. Sizing for accessories can be found on each individual product page, as every item is different.

- Do you offer price adjustments?
No, we do not currently offer price adjustments. The price paid at the time of payment/order confirmation is final.
- I have signed up to your newsletter, but don't seem to be receiving it
The most common reason for this is your email software is marking mailers from Fred Perry as 'junk', which sends them to your junk/spam folder. Please add '[email protected]' to your email address book to stop this happening in the future. If this has already been done, and you are still not receiving our mailers, double check the email address you signed up with is your current address. Log into 'My Account' (try your current address or an old address), or contact Customer Services, who will do their best to help you.
- What are Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode?
Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode protect your card twice when you shop online - firstly with a personal message, and secondly with your own secret password. If your card supports Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode, and you have signed up for one of these schemes, a form should appear after you have entered your credit card details asking you to enter your password to confirm your identity.
If you have not signed up for either scheme, a form may appear asking you to sign up with your bank. You can choose to do this immediately, or continue with your purchase and sign up later.
If the form does not appear, your browser may be stopping it. If you find yourself waiting on the page that appears after you have entered your credit card details for more than a minute, please click the button to continue with 3D-Secure checks.

- How do I cancel my order under the Distance Selling Regulations?
Under the EU Distance Selling Regulations, you have 7 working days (from the day after you receive your goods) to cancel the contract for your order with us. You must let us know in writing by email to [email protected], stating your wish to cancel the contract and ensuring you quote the order number in all correspondence. We will refund you the original purchase price and the delivery charge if applicable. If you have already received the goods, you will need to return the entire order at your cost or via Collect+, a free returns service offered to UK customers. If you are returning an item because of an error on our part or because it is faulty, we will be happy to refund your costs incurred in sending it back.

- I added an item to my bag and now it has disappeared
If you are simply browsing our site and are not logged in, any item(s) placed in your bag will disappear after 1 hour. If, however, you are signed in to your account, any item(s) placed in your bag will stay for up to a month, but may become out of stock if the item is purchased by another customer.
- If I put something in my bag, is it reserved?
No, if something is added to your bag it is not reserved. The item can be purchased by another customer if it is not purchased by you.
- I have ordered something but have previously seen it on your website at a different price?
Unfortunately we do not offer price adjustments, so the price stated on the site at the time of purchase is the final price. Customers are welcome to return any item(s) for a refund.
- My payment has been declined
Firstly, please check that the card details you entered are correct and the billing address matches up exactly with the information held by your card issuer. If the problem still occurs then please try another card. If you are still experiencing a problem after trying both of these options, then please contact Customer Services.
- What happens if the payment screen is timing out or appears frozen?
In a small number of cases, this may occur when connecting to your card issuer's page during their additional security check, and is probably due to your preferences set with your current browser. Please try using another browser, such as Firefox, Internet Explorer or Safari.

- Your Operating System (e.g. Windows 7, Mac OS X)

- I have tried to place an order and haven't had an order confirmation but money has left my account
Please contact Customer Services, who will check to see whether your order has been placed successfully. If you failed to reach the order confirmation screen (and receive an order number), it is likely that your order has not been successful. If this is the case and money has been removed from your account, please be assured that it will be returned. The funds will be on hold with your bank, and they will release them back into your account in due course. Fred Perry will only keep the funds if an order number is produced, and a successful order placed.

- Will I be charged import duty?
We ship to all countries outside of the EU on a DDU basis (Delivery Duty Unpaid). This means that you are liable for any local sales taxes or import duties which may be charged on your item(s). We have no control over these charges and cannot confirm how much the charges may be. You are also responsible for providing any information required by customs to ensure the goods are cleared. Occasionally goods may be subject to delays, due to customs or weather.
Fred Perry cannot be held responsible should local customs authorities wish to confiscate any items or charge any import duty. As the customer, you are responsible for paying the duty.
Customs policies vary widely from country to country so we recommend you contact your local customs office for more information.
- What do I do if my order hasn't been delivered after the specified time?
Late deliveries could be due to a number of reasons. In the first instance please check to see where your parcel is with DPD or UPS. Log in to 'My Account', click on 'View Order', and then use your tracking number to track your parcel on their respective websites. The tracking information will state if there is an issue with your order. If it has left our warehouse, and you feel it's 'severely overdue' please contact Fred Perry Customer Services, quoting your order number, and we will investigate further.
- Do I have to sign for my parcel?
Yes, all deliveries require a signature.
- What if I am out when the courier tries to deliver?
If you are out when DPD or UPS try to deliver, they will leave a card which contains their contact information and details about how to receive or request a re-delivery. Please contact DPD or UPS directly to organise a convenient re-delivery date.
- Can I send my parcel to a different address?
Yes, you have the option when ordering to choose a different delivery address to your billing address. After entering your billing address during step 1 of the checkout process, choose 'ship to different address'. Then continue to step 2, entering in your shipping/delivery information.
- Can I have my items delivered to more than one address in the same order?
No, you can only enter in one delivery address per order. If you need to enter in different delivery destinations you will have to place a separate order for each shipping address.
