Frequently Asked Questions
When I have placed an order how long will it take to arrive?
We aim to process all orders within 24 hours and unless stated differently on our website, your order will be despatched by your chosen method
Will I have to pay taxes/duties on my order if I do not not live in the UK?
​In most countries, you have to pay taxes or duties on imported goods. Sometimes goods under a certain value, or in certain categories, do not incur taxes.
The rules are different in every country. Unfortunately there is no way why for us to know the rules, regulations, customs, traditions, practices, paperwork, codes, laws, or rulings of every single country.
Therefore, we cannot, and will not be able to offer advice about taxes in your country. As the buyer, it is your responsibility to find out that information before you order.
If you have to pay import taxes and/or additional duties and sales taxes, then you would have to pay that to the courier upon receipt of the package(s). We can't calculate this for you and there is no way to pre-pay it.
The time since I placed my order has gone over this period what do I do?
First please check if the correct address including postcode was given. Replacements and refunds will not be given if you have given us the wrong postal address to send your order to. In the UK if the address is right but the postcode incorrect, those parcels are usually eventually returned to us but this takes a few weeks. Some wrongly addressed international orders also make their way back to us. We will then contact you to let you know what has happened and go through your options with you for redelivery or a refund. Note you are responsible for giving us the correct address.
Please check the estimated delivery time and then for the UK add three days in case of delays in transit. Once this delivery time has passed you should contact your local Royal Mail depot giving your house number and postcode as cards are not always left. After you have followed these steps and the Royal Mail have confirmed they do not have your order, you must contact us within 14 days in writing/email stating order number and date of order.

Overseas orders can take up to 42 days to arrive so please wait until this time has elapsed before contacting us.
