For deliveries to the UK we use Royal Mail , please pick the delivery method of your choice. For deliveries to Europe and the rest of the World, we use International standard We post on Thursdays to Saturdays orders received on posting days before 3:30pm will be dispatched the same day any orders received after this time shall be dispatched the next available posting day. We will email you to say that your order has been dispatched. We can not be held responsible for any delay caused by Royal Mail.

Delayed or missing parcels

If a UK parcel hasn't arrived within 3 working days, please check with your sorting office to find out if they are holding a parcel for you but haven't left a card.

Although we obtain proof of posting for each parcel this doesn't give us any ability to track your parcel.

We cannot make any claim against the post office until 15 working days have passed from the posting date, so don't offer refunds or replacements for this period. Almost every parcel does turn up within 15 working days, so while we appreciate that it's hugely frustrating, we'll ask you to wait. European parcels are not considered as missing by the post office for 20 working days, and the rest of the world it is 25 working days.

We can not be held responsible for missing parcels where the incorrect address has been provided by the customer. A refund will not be issued when incorrect details have been provided by the customer.

Where an order is returned by Royal Mail undelivered, we will give you the option to have that order resent. There will, however, be an additional charge for redelivery if an order has not been collected from the sorting office or the wrong address has been provided.
