DELIVERY OVERVIEW

TRACKING YOUR ORDER
If your order is shipped by a tracked method, we will send you a tracking number.
MISSING ORDERS
If your order requires a signature and you are not in to sign for it, the package may then be returned to your local post sorting depot. Usually the postman will leave a “something for you” card to rearrange delivery or collection – you can arrange this here. Or they may leave it with a neighbour so don’t forget to check with them.
If you do not collect your order from your local post sorting depot it will eventually be returned to our dispatch office in UK. We can re-send parcels but this will be subject to a further shipping fee. This fee is the true cost of the re-postage charge. If you decide you would like to be refunded, the cost of the original postage will be deducted from the refund amount.
All that said, if your order has not arrived within the timescales noted above get in touch with us and we’ll do our very best find out what happened to your order and get it to your doorstep as soon as possible.
Sorry, but we cannot replace missing orders that are received by someone else on your behalf.
We also cannot replace orders where the delivery address has been entered incorrectly by the person placing the order.
MISSING ITEMS
Please contact us immediately if your order is missing any products. We'll find out what happened to your order within three (3) working days and we'll get them to you as soon as possible or give you the option of a full refund of the missing items.
