- Q: What are cookies? Do I need to enable cookies on my browser to shop at Zappos.com?
A: A cookie is a small amount of data that is sent to your browser from a web site and is stored on your computer's hard drive. If your browser's preferences allow it (most browsers are installed with cookies enabled), each web site can send its own cookie to your browser. To protect your privacy, cookies do not store personal information but instead use anonymous unique identifiers. Each web site can only access the cookie they have sent to your hard drive, not the cookies sent by other web sites.
You need to enable cookies on your browser to enjoy all the shopping features at Zappos.com.
Cookies need to be enabled on your browser so you can add products to your shopping cart and to access your Zappos.com account information. If you share your computer with others and you do not want them to have access to your account information, be sure to log out before leaving your computer unattended. You can log out by clicking on "My Account" link at the top of the page. Then locate the "Logout" link at the top right, and click on it. For more information about how Zappos.com uses cookies, see our privacy policy. - Q: Do you charge sales tax on any item?
Sales tax will be added to orders being sent to Kentucky or Nevada. Shipments to Kentucky are subject to 6% sales tax. Shipments to Nevada are subject to 6.5% sales tax.
As of June 1, 2008 we will collect sales tax for purchases shipped to New York. Any order placed on or after June 1 will be subject to the appropriate sales tax. No sales tax will be collected for orders with a New York billing address if the order is shipped to a state other than Kentucky, Nevada or New York.
- Q: How do I know my shoe size?
If you are unsure of your shoe size, you can measure your shoe size. Because the foot is three-dimensional, any two-dimensional measuring tool, such as a ruler or Brannock device®, can only approximate your true shoe size. Please also keep in mind that manufacturers use different lasts to construct their shoes, and sizing may vary accordingly.
- Q: Does Zappos have an outlet store?
Yes! We currently have five outlet stores. Our first outlet store is located in Shepherdsville, Kentucky. Our newest store was opened in December, 2007, in Bowling Green, Kentucky. We have three outlet stores in Nevada. Two are located in Las Vegas, and one in Henderson.
2 Kentucky Outlets
3 Nevada Outlets - Q: Do you match your own prices if an item goes on sale after my purchase?
A: Yes, if an item you order from Zappos goes on sale within 10 days of your original purchase we will refund the difference.
