Undeliverable Parcels
Occasionally parcels are returned to us as undeliverable.

There are several reasons for this:

  • Incorrect address. Please double-check the address carefully when placing your order.
  • Incorrect address format. Please use the correct fields for the elements of the address.
  • Please include your phone number with your order so that, if necessary, the carrier can contact you.
  • Failed delivery attempts. Most of our carriers will make more than one attempt to deliver a parcel. If they are unsuccessful it’ll be returned to us.
    A signature is required (usually,  although while social distancing is in force, other arrangements are made) so you may have to collect the parcel from the depot if you can’t be in when delivery is due.
  • Refused by recipient.? If you want to send an item as a gift, you may want to let the recipient know that a surprise is on the way. They could refuse the parcel if they think it’s a mistake.
  • Illegible address. Address labels may become illegible in transit. This is rare, but if that happens a carrier will return the parcel to us.
  • Damaged in transit. If a parcel is damaged while it’s on its way to you the carrier may return it without attempting delivery.

Damage in Transit

In the unlikely event that your order is damaged during shipping please contact the carrier directly.
You must provide all of the original packaging for the shipper’s inspection in order to receive a full refund or replacement.
