Q. Why haven’t I received confirmation of my order?

A. Some e-mail services incorrectly flag automated messages as spam – if you don´t receive anything, please check your spam/junk folders first. You may also accidentally have provided an incorrect e-mail address – in this case please contact our Support to check whether we received your order.   Alternatively, if you created an account you can log in to check the status of your order.

Q.  What if I haven’t received my order?

A.  On rare occasions, or for some remote areas, there can be a delay in receiving your order. Unfortunately, we cannot be held responsible for delayed arrivals as we rely on Royal Mail to delivery within their specified time frame, although 99% do arrive on time.   If the shipping time is significantly late, please contact our Support with your order number.   Most items are sent Tracked 24 or Tracked 48 so do receive delivery scans.   If you chose Guaranteed Next Day delivery this will require a signature.   If no-one is available to sign, the item will need to be collected from your local sorting office.  We do know that on occasion, a card is not left so it is worth checking with your sorting office first.
