Missing Items – UK

For items lost in post, you must report these to us within 7 days of our dispatch notification being sent to your email address, by contacting us on the telephone, or by email. Our items are sent by Royal Mail, or by a carrier and a proof of postage is retained in both instances. Items that have been signed for at your stated delivery address, or items that show as delivered to your address, or your neighbours address, will not be considered as lost in transit. Should your item have not arrived within 14 days of dispatch we will consider them as lost and ask you to complete a declaration of this and support us as needed with information for our own claim against the courier. A replacement item will be mailed out where possible, or a refund in full will be made to the card you initially paid on within 7 days. Should the item later arrive you are required to contact us to inform us of this and we will arrange to pay postage for it to be returned to us.

Missing Items – Overseas

Whilst the UK process remains the same, items should be reported as potentially missing with 14 days of dispatch and will be considered as lost in post within 28 days, unless the country to which we are mailing has a delivery time expectation in excess of 28 days.
