Frequently Asked Questions

1) I am trying to buy something and am unable to proceed to payment?
Have you registered yet?
Have you ticked the terms and conditions box?
Are you trying to order via a work or shared computer? Usually these computers have access to payment sites blocked for security reasons. If it's not one of these reasons then please contact shop@suede.co.uk and we will try to help you further.

2) Is it safe for me to give you my credit card details?
Yes. Please note that we take security and privacy issues very seriously. All credit card details submitted via our shop are securely encrypted before transmission over the Internet. This means that shopping online with us is not only convenient, but also safe and secure.

3) Is it safe for me to give you my personal details and my email address?
Yes. We do not sell or otherwise disclose your personal details or email addresses to any other companies.

4) Will I be charged VAT if I live outside the EU?
If you live outside the EU you will only be charged VAT on postage and packaging costs, not on the goods you are buying. You will be charged VAT on tickets for use within the EU, even if they are being posted outside the EU.

5) How long will my goods take to arrive?
UK orders are sent by First Class Royal Mail and all other orders by Airmail, with the exception of standing concert tickets which are irreplaceable and must be sent by signed for delivery. Providing products are in stock, we'll despatch to the address of your choice within 72 hours of receiving your order, the only exception being tickets which are often not posted until close to the date of the gig. Please allow approximately 5 working days for UK delivery, 5 - 20 for the rest of Europe and 10-20 for the Rest of the World. Some orders may take longer but you will be notified if unusual delays are anticipated.

6) Are goods from you under any sort of guarantee?
