Shipping & Returns

Processing your order

Once your order has been received you should receive an email confirming such, if you have not received an email from us please check your spam folder or logon to our site and check the status of your order.

Turnaround time from receiving an order to shipping is usually 1 working day, if you time it right with an early morning weekday order (UK time) we can usually ship same day. If you have any special requirements for delivery please do let us know, as we will do our utmost to assist.

We often receive feedback such as "thank you for the bomb proof packaging" etc. Virtually everything is bubble-wrapped, ceramics & tableware are well protected in sturdy boxes with loosefill and flatware is always wrapped in thick card etc.

UK Shipping

Shipping is always via a trackable method and we will notify you with the tracking number when dispatched. Parcels are usually always shipped via a courier, we do not generally use Royal Mail for UK parcels. Please expect delivery within 3-5 working days of "Order in Progress" status. Once order status has changed to "Dispatched" it should usually take no more than 2-3 days to arrive. If you have any special requirements, e.g. "please leave in porch" please do let us know in the order comments section, but please note that depending on order value we may require a signature on delivery. Expedited delivery (i.e. next working day) is available on most orders as long as the order is placed by 11am the preceding working day, and will require a signature. Please note that we do not ship at weekends, nor guarantee any delivery at weekends.

International Shipping

Parcels are usually shipped via "Royal Mail Tracked", "Royal Mail Signed" or via Fedex/Parcelforce couriers.
