ORDERING

How do I make a purchase?

Shopping at Browns is easy: You can shop by product category such as dresses, clothing, bags (using navigation in the drop down menus) or you can browse directly by designer from the A TO Z OF DESIGNERS (drop down menu on top bar navigation ). Once you have found an item, select your size and click on the 'ADD TO BASKET' button next to each item. You can then continue shopping or go to the basket in the top right hand corner to complete your order. You will need to register with us before your order can be processed. At checkout, you can review and amend your order details on the BASKET menu.

Can I order by telephone or fax?

Due to security reasons, Browns Website does not offer a telephone/fax ordering system.

How do I know if an item is in stock?

Most items shown are in stock, if an item you have ordered is unavailable when we come to pick and despatch it, you will be contacted by our customer service team by email. You will not be charged for that item. If a product does not appear in a specific size in the 'Size' drop-down, this means the item is out of stock. Please be aware that even if an item is in your shopping bag, it can still be bought by another customer until you have completed your order.

Do I need an account to place an order online?

How will I know if you have received my order?

After you place your order, you will receive an email from us acknowledging that your order has been received. Please note that this is only to acknowledge that your order has been received and is not confirmation that your purchase has been made. Only after the item(s) are located, your credit card details have been approved, and the delivery address has been verified, will your order be accepted and the item(s) shipped. Should any of the item(s) you have ordered be unavailable you will be quickly informed of the out-of-stock piece(s) and your payment for the item(s) will not be processed.

What if an item is out of stock?

All items are subject to availability. If items that you order are out of stock, subject to a delay or the price is higher than that shown on your order, we will try to contact you at the email address you provided when placing your order. If we cannot contact you or receive no response to our email, we will continue to process the remaining items on your order. We will not supply a substitute product without your express authority. Once an item is sold out it will be taken off the website at the earliest opportunity.

TECHNICAL QUESTIONS

I cannot process my order?

Please could you try to place the order again – sometimes when the site is experiencing high demand orders do not get placed. If it still does not work please make a note of what happens and what messages the site gives you. It may also be necessary to try an alternative computer to ensure it is not a compatibility problem.

If you are still having problems, try deleting the cookies on your computer then logging back into your account. You will need to go to the 'Tools' tab on your internet browser, select 'Internet Options', then choose 'Delete Cookies' and hit OK. If further problems persist please do not hesitate to contact us at website@brownsfashion.com.

An Error message says my card details are incorrect?

Please ensure that you enter your card details exactly as they appear on the payment card including your name. Please enter the card number without any spaces. The CVV number is the last three digits on the signature strip on the reverse of the card. The issue may be caused by 3DSecure (Verified by Visa or MasterCard SecureCode) verification which is a system setup by your card issuer to manage online fraud and protect your account. This system is managed by your bank so it may be worth contacting them to check that there are no problems with the 3DSecure system on your account.

I am experiencing problems with my SecureCode number/3D Security pop up window?

Your SecureCode/3D Secure number is personal to your VISA or MasterCard. When you purchase from most retailers at the end of the online transaction a window appears and will ask you for this number. If you have forgotten the number you are given the option of re-setting the number. If you choose this option you will be prompted to answer some security questions. You will then be able to set a new secure number.

I have re-set my SecureCode/3D secure number and entered it into the form and it is still not working?

If your order has been successful you will receive an email with your order number. If you do not receive an email from Browns with your order number an order has not been placed. You can contact your bank to ask them why your SecureCode/3D Secure number is not working. It could be that your bank needs authorization from the cardholder to allow the payment.

I have spoken to my bank about my SecureCode/3D secure number and they are saying there is nothing wrong.

Please call or email a customer services advisor website@brownsfashion.com and we can advise you further.
