Please note: if the order has been shipped/left our premises we are unable to cancel or refund.
Once we have posted your order, we are reliant upon royal mail to deliver your parcel. we can only guarantee delivery when next day courier service is selected by the customer.
Please note that our customers tell us they occasionally experience delays with royal mail, particularly at christmas, but this very rare.
IF YOUR ORDER HASN'T ARRIVED . . please do the following:
1) Check that you entered the correct delivery address & postcode (incorrect address is the most common reason for non delivery),
2) Contact us and we will trace your parcels delivery progress and whether it has arrived.
3) Contact your local royal mail depot/sorting office and check whether they have your parcel- even if no card was left! we cannot contact the sorting office on your behalf - it must be the addressee It is very important to do this as soon as possible after the delivery was due!
Royal mail will hold any undelivered items, not just recorded or tracked! If not collected, a parcel will be reurned to sender after 15 - 18 days.
If RM tell us that they have delivered your order, to the address supplied, we cannot consider replacement or refund.
The vast majority of orders that customers tell us have not been received are returned to us marked "not called for" - this means that the order could not be delivered (for any reason) and so was returned to the sorting office to await collection by the recipient/ customer. Items are held for 15/18 days and are then returned to sender. Unfortunately it is our experience that cards are not always left to tell the customer of attempted delivery. This is certainly true if the postperson cannot actually get to the letterbox, or front door.
If you wish us to forward to you an order that has been returned marked "not called for", additional postage charges may be applied.
In the fortunately rare event that royal mail fail to deliver your items, you must wait at least 18 working days from shipping before we can refund or replace.
Any damages or missing items - please check immediately upon delivery and notify us by email straight away - certainly within two working days. Please attach images if possible. Where there is visible damage to the parcel, please do not sign for it - or sign 'damaged'. It may not be possible for us to redress any issues that we are not informed of as indicated above.
