FAQs

Our policy is to size our garments generously. You can shop with confidence knowing that the size you choose will fit and that we do not skimp on fabric. On each product page you will find a size chart to correspond with the product. Size charts are available in centimetres and inches.

If your purchase does not fit correctly,  please return the item back to us within 90 days for exchange or refund. If you still have specific questions about a fit of an item or measurement guide, please email  customercare@leevalley.ie

What credit/debit cards do you accept?

We accept all major credit/debit cards, or you can pay by PayPal. 

What is 3D Secure?

For extra fraud protection, 3D Secure requires customers to complete an additional verification step with the card issuer when paying. Typically, you are directed to an authentication page on your bank’s website, and you enter a password associated with the card or a code sent to your phone. This process is familiar to customers through the card networks’ brand names, such as Verified by Visa and Mastercard Identity Check.

Is it safe to pay online?

Our store is run on the IRP commerce platform. IRP is certified Level 1 PCI DSS compliant. We use the payment gateways Sage Pay by Opayo and PayPal. Sage Pay makes payments safe and secure as all transactions are encrypted to the highest global standards. Sage Pay systems are monitored and audited regularly by Qualified Security Assessors to make sure that it is completely secure. All PayPal transaction data are sent with end-to-end encryption

A box has appeared asking for my Verified by Visa password. What is Verified by Visa?

When I went to click on 'confirm order' after entering my card information, I got a popup saying: 615 -- 001 :: do not honor, what does this mean?

The DO NOT HONOR error message means that your bank has put a block on the transaction. The best thing to do is to call your bank and explain you are ordering online from Ireland and ask them to allow the transaction. Then, try and place your order again.

My credit Card is being declined but it works perfectly on other websites

If your transaction has failed to be authorised by your bank, do not worry. It is often common procedure within banks to block overseas/online transactions to protect your credit card security.
Please call your bank and advise them that you are completing an online transaction with LeeValleyIreland.com. Your bank will then authorise the transaction to proceed, and you will then be in a position to place your order on LeeValleyIreland.com.
If you have any further issues please email our customer service desk customercare@leevalley.ie  and we will assist you in placing your order.

I get an error when I enter my shipping/billing addresses. What’s going on?

If you are receiving an error message, there may be a problem with your credit card information, billing, or shipping address. The billing address should match exactly what your bank has on file. Please review all information closely and look for any typos. Also, try re-formatting the names and addresses in your billing information (this often solves the issue).

My order will not go through. What should I do?

If you’re still receiving an error message after reviewing your credit card information, billing, and shipping address, make sure you’re using the latest version of your web browser. If you continue to receive error messages, please contact customercare@leevalley.ie

Use a cool machine wash <30°C. Do not tumble dry. There is no need to iron linen, but if you prefer to use a medium-hot iron on the steam setting. White linen is better ironed on both sides, whilst dark linen should be pressed only on the reverse side.
