Delivery

Do you offer free delivery?: Royal Mail delivery is free on all orders over £30. When placing an order via our DPD Courier service, a small charge applies unless your order totals more than £100.
Who will be delivering my parcel?: We provide various courier options for delivering your parcel. If you have a deadline approaching and need your order quickly, we suggest using our DPD Courier Service. This service includes full tracking, a one-hour delivery timeslot, and next working day delivery to the UK Mainland. However, if your order is not time-sensitive, we also offer an Economy delivery option through Royal Mail, which is an untracked first-class service.
Can I choose a delivery date or time?: Please note that our Royal Mail delivery service does not provide a guaranteed delivery date or time. However, our DPD courier service offers a delivery date along with a one-hour delivery window, provided by your delivery driver – we would be unable to amend this. If you need to delay the dispatch of your order until a specific date, kindly get in touch with our Customer Support Team.
Do you offer international delivery?: As the UK has now formally left the EU customs union and single market, we have unfortunately had to temporarily suspend delivery to all customers outside of the UK to enable us to update our systems to cater for the new customs and regulatory checks. This is only a temporary move, and we are working hard to find a solution and looking forward to serving you again very soon.
Can I send the gift directly to the recipient? Will they know it’s from me?: Absolutely! During checkout, you can input the recipient's preferred delivery address, allowing us to send your gift directly to them. Please note that we do not include any paperwork or information related to your order, so the recipient won’t know the cost or details of the order.
Can I click & collect my order?: Yes, we have partnered with DPD Pick-Up to offer you a Click and Collect service, allowing you to select from thousands of locations across the UK Mainland. Unfortunately, there are currently no DPD Pickup points in Ireland, the Channel Isles, and the Isle of Man.
Can I collect my order from you?: To keep our costs competitive we do not have retail outlets, as such, it is not possible for customers to collect orders directly from our warehouse premises.
What happens to my order if I'm not in when delivery is attempted?: Our delivery couriers will always try their best to deliver on their first attempt. If unsuccessful, they will attempt to deliver again. On some occasions, they may deliver to a local pick-up shop or depot for you to collect. Once the order has been dispatched, you will receive tracking information (if ordered with the DPD courier delivery), and you can manually change your delivery date.

Do you hold my card details?: All payments on our website are placed through an approved payment gateway, meaning we don’t handle or store any card information; it is all processed via a third-party payment provider who are fully PCI DSS compliant. To process a CPA for a customer we are provided with an encrypted token from the original transaction which we send to the payment gateway along with the additional amount. The payment provider then validates the token with an encrypted key on their servers to ensure the payment is genuine and safe to process. We can take a repeat payment from a customer’s credit or debit card by using Continuous Payment Authority (CPA). Once an initial transaction has been made a CPA enables us to take further payments from the same card (with the customer’s consent) without the customer needing to provide card details again. We don't have visibility of the card details; we are just able to authorise a repeat payment, with the customer’s permission.
Do your prices include V.A.T?: All of our prices include VAT. What you see is what you pay.
I live where VAT is not applicable, will you deduct this from my order?: All orders are charged inclusive of VAT at the current rate of 20%, including orders to Jersey and Guernsey for UK VAT purposes, unfortunately we cannot remove this from your order. We understand that this situation influences the cost of your order however we hope that will find that our products are still competitively priced.
