  4. Your order should reach you the next Business Day before 2.00pm.
  5. You should inform us of any problems with the receipt of your order within one Business Day so that they can be remedied for you. Claims may be reduced or rejected if we have not been notified within this timescale.
  6. Where the receipt date falls on a Monday, your package may be dispatched on the Friday prior as Royal Mail do not collect on a Saturday/Sunday, therefore you may receive your package on the Saturday prior to your receipt date. This is dependent upon the local Royal Mail Delivery office's services where the package is being delivered to. In instances where the package does not arrive on the Saturday, your package may be delivered on the Monday. Royal Mail cannot guarantee receipt on a Saturday.
  7. If the delivery address is to a location with a centralised reception or any kind of multiple occupancy building, be aware that Royal Mail may deliver to the reception or other delivery point only and not to the customer. Therefore, anyone at the reception can sign for and take receipt of the delivery. We are not responsible for deliveries for which Royal Mail has obtained a signature at your delivery address but which you have not received.

We advise you to place your order at least 3 Business Days before it is required, as we cannot offer you any alternative arrangements at short notice if your order is delayed in transit for whatever reason.

Lost, Delayed or Damaged Parcels

  1. We will not be held liable for any losses or expenses arising from late or non-delivery by Royal Mail.
  2. If Royal Mail fails to deliver your order, including the loss of your order, or if an order is fraudulently accepted by anyone unbeknown to you, then we will investigate the loss of your order.
  3. You accept that failed or missing deliveries will not be immediately refunded but dealt with under the terms of the Royal Mail’s investigation. Once their investigation and our subsequent insurance claim on your behalf (where appropriate) is complete only then will any refund be payable.
  4. On the whole, investigations can take up to 28 Business Days before knowing if we can offer you a full refund or not. In rare circumstances, these investigations may take longer.
  5. We cannot process a claim for loss unless 10 working days or more have passed since the item was due for receipt by the customer.
  6. Your order is subject to Royal Mail's Special Delivery terms and conditions. If you click on this link you will leave our Website and our privacy policy and terms and conditions will no longer apply.
  7. Refunds will only be issued once the claim has been processed by Royal Mail, verified as lost and compensation agreed.

Please note that Royal mail state that they will not class a parcel as lost until 10 working days have passed. We believe that this is unacceptable for our customers, but we do ask for 10 working days to be allowed for delivery. Please contact us if you have not received your order after this point.
