Lost or Damaged Parcels
We make sure all our shipping is tracked to avoid any problems with lost parcels. If, in the unlikely event, the tracking for your parcel has not updated in a while, please get in touch so we can investigate.
​
We will always try to resolve the issue by either sending out a replacement or offer a full refund. However, in order for us to do this, the courier deems a domestic parcel lost if it hasn't arrived by the due date plus 7 working days.
​
If, in the unlikely even your parcel arrived damaged, please get in touch as soon as possible. In order for us to raise this with the courier, and offer a replacement or refund, we need pictures of both the damaged goods and the damaged packaging with the label clearly showing. Please be aware, without this we will be unable to assist you.
Unfortunately, once a parcel has been handed over to the courier, it is out of our control but we will do our best to assist you.
