International Shipping Procedure

MensDesignerShoe.com ships to most foreign countries

How To Place an International Order

To place an international order simply add items to your shopping cart and click the Proceed to Checkout button at the bottom of the page.

If you have trouble placing an order through our shopping cart, simply contact us and we can send you a Paypal invoice for your order.

International Payment Methods We Accept

For international orders we accept all major credit cards and Paypal as the method of payment. Paypal allows you to use your credit card or bank account to fund your Paypal account and make payment for your MensDesignerShoe.com purchase.

On some international orders we will require that your Paypal account be Verified. Getting your Paypal account Verified is easy: simply login to your Paypal account and click the link to Verify your account and follow the steps. A Verified Paypal account adds extra protection to both the buyer and seller.

International Shipping

We ship via UPS or USPS Priority Mail International for all international orders. The shipping cost will be calculated at checkout. Contact us if you require USPS Express Mail Shipping.

Please note that exotic shoe orders (ostrich, deerskin, eel) to international countries will incur an $93 special handling fee. In order for us to ship exotic shoes from the USA to any foreign country a special inspection must be done to legally ship the order from the USA to the customer's country. For exotic shoe orders, once you complete your order and payment via Paypal, we will send you a Paypal invoice for the special exotic shoe handling permit fee. Please note on those exotic shoe orders requiring special inspection, please allow an additional 3-4 days for the inspection process.

Some exotic shoes made of 'protected leathers' (peccary, crocodile, caiman, alligator, lizard) that are shipped internationally require a protected leather inspection/one time permit which has a cost of $276.00. Please inquire with us about the details of these items.

International Duties & Taxes

We do not charge or collect tax on international orders. The customer's country may charge a customs duty tax on your order upon arrival. These charges are set by the customer's country and are the responsibility of the customer. Please contact your local customs office to determine what your local duty tax rate may be based upon the items you are purchasing.

How We Protect Your Personal Information

We take appropriate security measures (including physical, electronic and procedural measures) to help safeguard your personal information from unauthorized access and disclosure. For example, only authorized employees are permitted to access personal information, and they may do so only for permitted business functions. In addition, we use encryption in the transmission of your sensitive personal information between your system and ours by employing Secure Sockets Layer (SSL)* technology to insure your safety. Secure Sockets Layer encrypts your order information and sends it to a secure server, making it impossible for that information to be decoded by a party outside of the store you shop with. To check the security of your connection during checkout, look for the unbroken key or closed lock at the top or bottom of your browser window, depending on the browser you are using. This indicates SSL is active. You will also see an SSL seal at the bottom of all secure pages, simply click on it to bring up the SSL certificate information which will confirm that our SSL certificate is valid and functional. We also have the Norton Secured Trust system in place, one of the most trusted internet security trust systems available. This system ensures that our website is scanned for any malware on a daily basis. Look for the Norton Trust seal at the bottom of all pages on our website, click on this seal to confirm that the malware scan has been successfully completed by Norton for the day. We want you to feel confident using our website to transact business. However, no system can be completely secure. Therefore, although we take steps to secure your information, we do not promise, and you should not expect, that your personal information, searches, or other communications will always remain secure. Users should also take care with how they handle and disclose their personal information and should avoid sending personal information through insecure email.
