Delivery Times

Expected delivery dates will vary for each product and are stated in the product descriptions for each individual product.

Delivery information is sent to you via email/SMS, and enables you to communicate directly with the courier. You are able to amend delivery dates and addresses via these communications, and can also nominate a 'safeplace' or a neighbour that can take receipt of the parcel for you. In the event that you miss a delivery, and the subsequent attempts made by the courier, then the parcel will be reconsigned to us. Once it has been received by us, we will contact you regarding redelivery - please note: you will be required to pay the cost of shipping again.

Click and Collect

If you have chosen 'Click and Collect', you will be contacted with a confirmed collection date shortly after placing your order.

We aim to have all 'Click and Collect' orders ready for collection on or before the stated expected delivery date stated for each product.

When collecting your order, please bring proof of purchase, this can be your order confirmation email or a printout, or proof of ID.

If someone else is collecting on your behalf, please provide them with a copy of proof of purchase or order number.

You will be notified by email when your order is available for collection.

Please note: for a standard order you will have 28 days from when your order has arrived to collect. After this time, your order will be cancelled, and a refund will be issued to the original payment method used. If the item is personalised, then we will be unable to offer a refund - we will, however, keep the order for a period of 6 months, and will attempt further contact with yourself.
