How can I track the status of my online order?
A shipping confirmation is emailed to you as soon as your order has been
shipped. This shipping confirmation email will allow you to track the status of your order. You
may also
log in to track your order.
Can I return or exchange my purchase if I don't like it?
Returns
If for any reason, you are not completely satisfied with your purchase, you may return it
within 60 days from the original purchase date. (See return shipping options below.)
Merchandise must be returned and received unworn, in the original packaging, with the original
shipping invoice, within 60 days of the order date, to receive a full credit in the original
form of tender. It may take up to 14 days to process your return and credit your original form
of tender. Returns or exchanges made after 60 days will be issued a merchandise credit. A $7.95
fee for shipping your return or exchange merchandise will be deducted from your refund. The
$7.95 shipping fee does not apply to same-item exchanges.
Exchanges
If you would like to exchange an item for another, fill out the exchange instructions located
on the back of the shipping invoice. (See exchange shipping options below.) Exchanges are
processed like a return and reissued as a new order. You will receive a credit for the item(s)
you are sending back and a separate charge for the exchange order placed.
Because of the time involved in shipping and processing your exchange (up to 14 days), you may
elect to place a new order right away rather than wait for your exchange to process.
Availability of items can change. If you wait for the exchange order to process, the item(s)
you want in exchange may no longer be available. If you prefer, you may place a new order
immediately and simply return the unwanted item(s).
Please send your Returns and Exchanges to :

shipping. Please bring your receipt or invoice and the original box.

How do I know that ordering online is secure?
Ensuring that you feel that your credit card information is secured is
important to dsw.com.

SSL is the gold standard in Internet encryption technology, which is another way of saying that
it's a very sophisticated method of scrambling data as it travels from your computer to our
website's servers.
CVV (credit card security code)
In an effort to make your shopping experience as secure as possible, we require that you enter
your credit card's 3- to 4-digit security code (CVV). Since the code can only be found on the
card itself, providing it helps to prevent credit card fraud.
