3. EXCHANGE POLICY
The Exchange Processing Fee(s) must be pre-paid before the REQUIRED Authorization Form can be released so that we can process and ship your exchange BACK to you. Customers are still responsible for shipping item(s) TO our warehouse.
IMPORTANT!
If items are returned WITHOUT obtaining the REQUIRED Authorization Form, your exchange will be immediately treated as a “RETURN,” and your balance minus the current Restocking Fee will be refunded as outlined in our Refund Policy.
- An Authorization Form is REQUIRED using our online system ONLY. Unless you have a pre-order question, general email requests will be ignored. Phone requests will be ignored.
- Because we can now automate some of the exchange processes, we have a “One Request per Order Number per Vendor” policy.
- Requests must be made within seven (7) days of delivery receipt, or item(s) can NOT be returned. No Exceptions!
- Once Authorization has been approved, Discount Salsa Shoes will charge the credit card on file for any additional cost(s) associated with the request (ex, the requested item costs more than the original item).
- Our warehouse must have the items received within seven (7) days of the Authorization Form date.
- Shoes suspected to be defective (ex, heel comes loose) and have obvious signs of excessive wear can not be exchanged.
- Item(s) received damaged, worn, and/or soiled risk either being trashed or shipped back to you at your own expense at the discretion of Discount Salsa Shoes.
- Customers agree and understand that when placing an order with Discount Salsa Shoes, it is their responsibility to log into their accounts to check the current order status and that email notifications are considered a courtesy.
- Customers can request that we use their personal Shipping Accounts, but the pre-paid shipping must be made first. We will refund the pre-paid shipping if we can verify the shipping account and ship using your account. Shipping Account must be in Customer’s name and not an employer’s account.
- Cancellations must be made BEFORE shipping.
- See our list below for FINAL SALE items.
4. RETURN POLICY
Unfortunately, returning dance shoes and dancewear is stricter than normal retail returns/exchanges. Besides being a health risk, most online stores and storefronts are “mom-and-pop” stores. To stay competitive and offer low prices, stores simply can not absorb these additional fees from our manufacturers like normal retailers. Products are discounted so low that Discount Salsa Shoes can NOT absorb these charges on refunds/exchanges/returns.
- An Authorization Form is REQUIRED using our online system ONLY. General email requests unless you have a PRIOR question, will be ignored. Phone requests will be ignored.
- Because we can now automate some of the return processes, we have a “One Request per Order Number per Vendor” policy.
- Requests must be made within seven (7) days of receipt of delivery, or item(s) can NOT be returned. No Exceptions!
- Returns are subject to a $10.00 restocking fee per item minus any shipping and handling costs. There is a 20% restocking fee on accessories minus any shipping and handling costs.
- If you received a discounted rate on your original order because you purchased several items, that discount amount will be adjusted to the items you have chosen to keep. For example, if you ordered three (3) pairs of shoes at a discounted rate of $47.99 but decided to return one pair, your new adjusted total is $29.99 minus the $10 restocking fee minus any possible handling fees for an estimated refund total of $19.99. We HIGHLY recommend confirming sizes or processing an exchange instead.
- For credit to apply, our warehouse must receive the items within seven (7) days of the Authorization Form date.
- Shoes suspected to be defective (ex, heel comes loose) and have obvious signs of excessive wear can not be returned.
- Item(s) received damaged, worn, and/or soiled risk either being trashed or shipped back to you at your own expense at the discretion of Discount Salsa Shoes.
- Customers agree and understand that when placing an order with Discount Salsa Shoes, it is their responsibility to log into their accounts to check the current order status and that email notifications are considered a courtesy. Cancellations must be made before shipping.
- See our list below for FINAL SALE items.
5. REFUND POLICY
- Refunds for authorized returns will be issued within thirty (30) days of processing merchandise (minus the restocking fee(s), bulk discount adjustments, postage fee(s), and S&H fee(s)).
- Any item returned AFTER seven (7) days of the date of the Authorization Form without prior consent will receive a store credit (minus the restocking fee(s), postage fee(s), and S&H fee(s)).

- Customers must specify at the time of checkout if they have specific instructions on how they want out-of-stock items handled.
- All Back Orders will be charged on the day the order is placed with the manufacturer to ensure the item is reserved for the customer.
- Back Orders will take approximately 6-8 weeks to ship. Allow additional time for shipping well. If an item is out of stock, that means it is out of stock with the manufacturer. DSS recommends back ordering since that will be the only way to get that shoe, no matter which authorized dealer you purchase from.
