- Please make sure you insert the correct delivery address and postcode when you are placing your order. We cannot be responsible for incorrectly addressed orders and no credit can be given for non-delivery of incorrectly addressed orders.
- We will send you a confirmation email once your order has been dispatched.
- Items ordered online will normally be dispatched within a couple of days of them being placed. (This may be extended during busy periods such as Easter or Christmas)
- You can select either of the following delivery charge options:
- Click and Collect. This is a free of charge service, but must be collected in person from our Shop in Hurst (RG10 0SS) during our opening hours (Mon-Fri, 9-5). We will call you once your order is ready to be collected.
- Royal Mail 3 to 5 working day service £4.95. This is a tracked service for mainland UK destinations. Please contact us on 01189 321043 to request postage prices for UK offshore islands e.g. Isle Of Man, Channel Islands, Scottish Islands.
- Express Delivery service £7.50. This is a next day service for orders received before midday (Sent via Royal Mail 24 or Courier). Orders placed on Friday afternoon will be dispatched the following Monday.
Please note that although we dispatch these orders for delivery the next day it is possible that at busy times like Christmas, deliveries could take longer than next day. At peak periods we recommend that you allow extra time for your delivery. The next day service can also be affected by your location and areas like parts of Scotland and off shore islands will take longer.
- We do not deliver to destinations outside the UK.
- The Royal Mail service is not fully trackable, however they do scan all packages when they collect them from us to prove we sent it and they are then scanned again at the point of delivery including a proof of delivery image. This means that we/you can check on their website where your order is using the tracking number we send you on your dispatch email.
- Royal Mail's policy is that if the postman cannot hand the package to you then they should leave a card explaining that it was not delivered and it is then returned to the sorting office where it is scanned again to show a non-delivery. It is then your responsibility to contact the sorting office to either arrange re-delivery or to collect it yourself. They also recommend that you wait 15 days before lodging a lost parcel claim and that you check with your neighbours in case one of them agreed to hold the parcel for you
Non arrival of your order after it has been dispatched:
- If you do not contact us, or the Post office, about a missing delivery it will normally be returned to us after about three weeks. If the reason for non-delivery is that you were not there to receive it then in that case you will have the option to ask for the package to be re-delivered but this will incur an additional delivery charge. As we cannot re-sell returned items we are not able to offer credit for items that are not delivered due to the recipient being out.
- Larger orders may be delivered by Courier. When you place your order you will need to provide your mobile number or email address and the courier will use one of them to contact you with a one hour delivery time slot on the morning of your delivery before the van leaves the depot. When you receive the message you will have the option to:
- Accept it
- Ask for the package to be re-delivered another day
- Request that the package is left at a local collection point
- Courier deliveries are from Monday to Friday. For more remote areas like the Scottish highlands you may need to allow additional time for the order to arrive.
- Our Express delivery rates are for UK mainland addresses and do not include UK offshore islands e.g. Isle Of Man, Channel Islands, Scottish Islands. Some parts of rural Scotland and Northern Ireland may take longer to deliver.
- Parcels up to 2kg can be sent to offshore UK islands via our standard delivery service.
- Parcels over 2kg might be able to be sent to offshore islands via Royal Mail but this might incur an additional delivery charge.
- Our standard delivery charge only covers the UK. Deliveries to The Channel Islands, The Irish Republic, and Europe are more expensive and you will need to contact us for a quote.
- If your order arrives damaged, or is incorrect in some way, then you need to contact us by email or phone within 24 hours of the receipt of your delivery. We may ask you to photograph them and email us the images. You are entitled to a full refund of the purchase price of any damaged items. We may ask you to return the damaged item. If you have items missing from your order you must tell us within 24 hours and we will, at our choice, either replace the missing items or offer a refund.
