However, if you have chosen to pay the extra surcharge for Express Shipping (Nera uses FedEx International Priority®), the shipping surcharge is not refundable.
Refunds will be processed within 5-10 business days upon Nera's receipt and inspection of your package. If the shoes are in good condition, then the refund will be credited to the card you used in the initial purchase. (Please note that card refunds may take up to 5-10 business days for your bank to complete. We can also decline a refund if the returned shoes are deemed to be damaged, or having items missing, such as shoelaces)
