Delayed Deliveries and Returns
Delayed Deliveries
It is our aim to deliver your goods promptly, however in order to achieve this a third party is involved and they may not always be as helpful as we would like.
Your order will be despatched as quickly as possible after receipt (most ship the same day). During very busy periods (typically spring time) some delays may occur. Where there are stock shortages or other issues we will inform you of any delays by email. Once a parcel leaves our premises they are beyond our control and delays can happen from time to time. If you have issues with a delivery please contact us directly.
In our experience 99.9% of all parcels delayed do eventually arrive so please be patient!
Parcels are despatched by a range of courier services. For more information click here
You will receive an email from us letting you know we have despatched your parcel. You will also receive a message from our couriers with tracking information.
Where a trackable courier service is employed to deliver your parcel delays can be seen if you follow the tracking information we send you.
Should a parcel be delayed or mislaid we can instigate an official search once you let us know. If this proves unsuccessful our couriers will inform us the parcel is officially lost, this allows us to raise a claim and at that point we can issue a refund or replacement at our discretion. This process can take a few days and so we ask you to be patient.
It is your responsibility to ensure you are allowed to receive the goods you have ordered. Goods seized or returned by customs will not be refunded neither will the cost of shipping or any charges we receive for returns.
International orders shipped by non tracking services are often delayed by customs services in the destination country. It's not normal but is certainly not unknown for international parcels, particularly outside the E.U to take several weeks to arrive. A parcel is deemed to have been lost once eight weeks from the time of despatch has passed, at that point we will make a full refund or replacement at out discretion. If the delay is due to local customs service we cannot be held responsible either for charges levied or for items returned to us.
