Ordering an item that is currently on backorder ensures that you will be first in line for this item when it comes into stock. The entire order will be held and shipped when all the items are in stock. We don't generally part ship orders especially those for export due to the high costs of shipping and the increased environmental impact of sending multiple shipments. If you need some of the in-stock items in your order urgently, please place separate orders for the in stock and out of stock items.

You will be notified via email once your order has been shipped; you will not need to contact customer support or do anything to follow up on the backordered item. If you do want an update on your order or the expected shipping date, please contact our support team who will be happy to help.

Delivery Schedule

We endeavour to despatch within 1 - 3 working days. Items that must be manufactured or customised to order and can take up to three weeks to be completed before they are shipped.

Our working hours are 8am – 5pm Monday to Friday. This means orders placed on Saturday and Sunday will not ship until the following Monday at the earliest.

Tax Charges

UK
VAT (Value Added Tax) is applicable for all orders delivered within the UK. This is charged at a rate of 20%.

Export Shipments
The Taxes & Duties relevant to the individual counties will be charged at the point of sale where applicable.

If you do not wish to be charged tax it is your own responsibility to ensure that you keep your order below the threshold for taxation in the destination country. We are unable to split orders into multiple packages so if you do wish to avoid tax you will have to place multiple orders ensuring that each one is below the threshold for taxation.

Since a large portion of our eCommerce orders are for export from the UK, prices can be displayed both with and without VAT using the tax changer in the menu.

Payment Processing

Our global payment processing partner is Adyen. We can process payments with VISA, Mastercard, American Express and many others. You will be charged at the time you place your order.

Leon Paul cannot be held responsible for any foreign transaction fees incurred.

Guarantee

All our products are guaranteed for 28 days minimum. If a product fails outside this period and you consider it to be substandard, please contact us and we will consider replacing it at no charge. We pride ourselves on the high quality of our equipment and if you feel that anything you receive is not up to the high standards you expect from Leon Paul then please contact us at sales@leonpaul.com to offer assistance.

Shoes
When considering returning a pair of shoes please note that many fencing shoes are designed to protect the area which is damaged when a fencer over lunges and rolls the foot causing the side or upper surface of the shoe to slide across the floor. These protective areas are designed to minimise damage from occasional accidental overextended lunges. Repeated overextended lunges where the side or top of the shoe is dragged along the floor will cause damage to the shoe which is not covered by the warranty.

Bags
When considering returning a bag please note that when in transit the best way to ensure your bag does not get damaged by airport bag handlers is to take the top bag off and store it inside the bag. It fits inside the smaller weapon compartment. If it does not fit in the bag when you have fully loaded the likelihood is, you will be over the maximum weight for the bag so it may get broken in transit and you should check it as 2 separate bags. Leon Paul is not responsible for bags that are damaged by the bag being mistreated. If an airline does break your bag in transit, please claim on your travel insurance or from the airline.

Lightweight Lame Jackets
Although lightweight lame jackets are machine washable, it is vital that no bleach is used as this will oxidise the silver and stop it from conducting. Most modern washing powders contain bleach to help keep clothes whiter; we therefore recommend that you only wash the lame without soap powder on a cold cycle. If your lame is non-conductive or has developed high resistance all over, then through our extensive testing we can be sure this is due to washing with bleach. Clear washing instructions are provided both online and in the product care label. Leon Paul cannot be held responsible for damage caused by improper care of a garment.

Your Rights
You have the right to fully cancel an order with us up to the time that it’s been collected by our delivery partners. After it has been shipped, please refer to the below information.

There are certain orders we will not cancel; these are orders that include any customised items, please see below.

Leon Paul reserves the right to cancel and refund orders if a product is discontinued or it becomes impossible to obtain stock. Whilst we make every effort to ensure prices on the website are accurate. Leon Paul reserves the right to cancel and refund an order if there has been a typographical error.

Customised Items
All customised items (including masks, bags and garments) cannot be returned if ordered incorrectly. For example, a jacket that does not fit and has been customised with your name. In the event of a problem, please contact our Customer Service Team as soon as possible.
