Delivery and Returns
ORDER IN TIME FOR CHRISTMAS
If you are shopping for the festive season, for the best chance of receiving your order by the 24th of December, please ensure that your order is placed on or before the below dates:
European Delivery - by 10am Monday 16th December
UK Standard Delivery - by 1pm Friday 20th December
Orders placed by the dates shown will be scheduled for pre-Christmas delivery with our carriers, however we suggest that your order ASAP to avoid any unforeseen delays with customs.
We are delighted to confirm that we ship to every country in Europe.
You will be pleased to know that we will ship all orders to EU member countries with VAT and duties pre-paid at no extra charge to our customers. Orders are shipped in batches to our depot in the Netherlands who then ship the orders individually with DPD. Due to this you will not receive the dispatch email with a tracking like right away.
Orders made before 1pm (GMT) will be dispatched the same day, except during very busy sale/promotion/holiday periods. During very busy sale/promotion/holiday periods, we still dispatch the vast majority of orders same day, but unfortunately cannot guarantee this for all orders. Orders placed on the weekend are dispatched on Monday.
SHIPPING COUNTRY | TIMIMGS | COST |
Europe | 8 to 10 Business Days | Free for orders over €250, €20 on orders below |
CHRISTMAS RETURNS POLICY
We know there’s nothing better than Christmas shopping to get you in the festive spirit. We also know that sometimes you might change your mind, that’s why we’ve extended our normal returns policy over the festive period.
In addition to our standard returns policy, any items ordered online between Wednesday 23rd October 2024 and Wednesday 25th December 2024 can be returned up until, and including Friday 10th January 2025 for a full refund back to your original payment method.
Just make sure your unwanted gifts are unused, in the original packaging (if appropriate) and still have the tags attached.
