DELIVERY & RETURNS
Whilst every effort shall be made to despatch goods on the date requested the seller shall not accept liability for any delay in the delivery of such goods.
Delivery times are quoted in good faith and we cannot accept liability for any expenses or other costs incurred due to failed or late deliveries.
Whilst courier services may offer a timed delivery service, we offer no guarantee of these services nor can we guarantee any request that they deliver after a set time (such as after 9am). Delivery times may vary from standard business hours. Our couriers deliver up to 7pm but may go beyond this during busy periods.
Please note that in some circumstances the delivery surcharge may need to be increased for large and/or bulky items either inside or outside of the United Kingdom.
Although we can pass delivery instructions from the customer to the nominated courier, we will not be held responsible if these are not met. Where a customer’s delivery instruction is to leave a parcel in a nominated location or ‘safe place’, neither us nor the courier will be held responsible for the parcel or its contents after the parcel has been left as requested.
Our preferred courier will be used as default to deliver goods.
International Shipping
We are committed to providing an excellent delivery service to our customers who reside outside of the United Kingdom, however, please note that any orders that are despatched to destinations outside of the U.K. will be subject to tax and import duties, which would be charged upon receipt of delivery. The buyer is responsible for paying any tax or import duties applied to their parcel. We will not apply VAT on goods purchased for use outside of the U.K, where items are shipped within 3 months of purchase and delivery is to a non-U. K address – if placing an order online it is the buyer’s responsibility to ensure they use the correct VAT Exemption option for Non-UK purchases at the checkout.
Delivered-at-place
We will use the Delivered-at-place (DAP) method to deliver goods, meaning that the buyer is responsible to pay all costs and suffer any potential losses of moving goods sold to a specific location.
Whilst we will make every effort to support customers in these instances, ultimately it will be their responsibility.
Out of Stock Items
If an item on your order is currently out of stock, we will contact you via email to let you know. We are able to place the out of stock item on “backorder” for you, this means we will specifically order the item in for you. Depending on what collection the item is part of will depend on its estimated ordering time. You will be informed of this in your email that you will receive from us. If you are unable to wait for your item and can change the style/colour, we will be more than happy to exchange the item from your original order. Our customer service team are very experienced in suggesting alternative colours and styles if your preferred choice is out of stock.
Delivery Methods
All orders are sent with the courier company packaging on the outside of the parcel. There is nothing advertising our name or the contents.
