Yes, orders sent to countries outside of the EU and UK will not be charged the U.K. sales tax. However you may face local taxes and import charges levied by local customs. We would advise checking locally to find out what potential charges you may face.

I am ordering from the EU. Will there be extra charges before delivery?

No, all local taxes and duties that are applicable are calculated and shown at checkout and then the order is sent using a DDP service which means there are no extra charges once the order arrives in the EU.

I am ordering from the USA. Will there be extra charges before delivery?

Orders with a value of under $800 will not attract any charges from the U.S. customs. Orders with a value over $800 will attract customs charges so we would advise placing 2 orders of a lower value rather than one of over $800.

SIZING & STOCK AVAILABILITY.

Where is my nearest UW stockist?

You can find a list of all official UW stockists on the website here.

Which styles does my local stockist carry?

Please send an email to web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can help you with this question.

 

I have seen an item online. Is it available in your store?

There is an option on each product page to see store availability. Just highlight the size you are looking for and click on “store availability.”

 

Do you still make a certain style?

If it is not visible on the website it is unlikely but please email web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can advise you.

Do you have my size?

We only have sizes which are available on the website. That includes all the stock held in our stores.

Is my size available anywhere else?

Our product pages show availability by style and size in all of our retail stores; you can order this stock by checking out as you normally would (if your size is available). If your size is unavailable and you would like to know if the item you would like is available elsewhere, please email web@universalworks.co.uk and our customer service team can advise you of availability at independent stockists.

What size should I buy?

The best advice we can give is for you to measure a similar item you have and compare those measurements with the guideline measurements on the website. If you are still unsure please contact our customer service team at web@universalworks.co.uk or ask us on live chat.

Why don't you have inside leg measurements in the sizing chart?

As our pants typically have a deeper rise than most standard chinos and jeans we feel the inside leg measurement makes the pants seem shorter in length than they are. We would advise comparing the outside leg measurement of a pair of pants you have with the guideline measurements on the website.

What does a particular colour look like?

We do our utmost to portray each colour as accurately as possible but due to the many different screen types and settings it is difficult to ensure you are seeing colour in its true light. If you are unsure please email web@universalworks.co.uk and we will try and help.

I have seen a certain style in a magazine but don't know the style name, can you help?

Please email web@universalworks.co.uk with as much detail as possible and we will try to help.

Where is this garment manufactured?

Please email web@universalworks.co.uk with as much detail as possible and we will try to help.
