Can I collect my order?

Unfortunately, we do not offer customer collection from our warehouse currently.

How will I be updated on my order?

For parcels sent via standard delivery, we will notify you via email when it leaves our warehouse and will provide you with a tracking link if available. For parcels sent express delivery via DPD, if you provide us with a mobile number we will notify you on the day of delivery of a one hour time slot you can expect your parcel, so you don't need to wait in all day. If you don't provide us with a mobile number, DPD will update you on your parcel status via email instead.

You can find out more about DPD Predict here.

Packaging

Your order will be sent out in plastic free packaging. We currently use recycled cardboard boxes or reuse the boxes in which we receive stock from our suppliers. To protect your items, we use a paper bubble wrap alternative, unbleached kraft roll and 100% recycled paper void fill. All boxes are sealed with paper tape.

Environmentally Conscious Delivery Programme

If you would like to offset the carbon emissions of your order, you can add £1 to your order in the checkout which we will donate to Trees for Life to help support their environmental conservation work, which in turn works to combat the carbon emissions related to the delivery of your order.

RETURNS POLICY

We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchases. If for any reason you are not satisfied with an item you have ordered, please return it, within the extended Christmas returns period and we will refund your money or send you a replacement.

Items returned in this extended period should be returned to us in their original condition including any packaging. Please check the ‘Products we are unable to refund’ section below for exceptions.
