DHL Express continues to be our most reliable and timely service, with their deliveries usually taking place within 5 - 7 working days of dispatch.
All our international delivery options are detailed below:
Royal Mail Tracked and Parcelforce (10 - 14 working days)
Please allow up to 21 working days (1 month) for delivery, due to new Brexit regulations. We recommend DHL for a guaranteed and quicker service.
DHL Express Orders (5 - 7 working days)
DHL Express remains one of the best services we offer for international customers. However, due to our remote location, DHL has a +2 days on their service times. The collection is handled by a subcontracted local carrier, and it typically takes 2 business days after you receive our order dispatch confirmation email for active tracking updates from DHL to appear on your parcel.
DHL Express ODD (On-Demand Delivery) Service
The DHL Express service also includes their ODD (On-Demand Delivery) Service. This gives the customer in-flight options, allowing the freedom to choose when and where their parcel is delivered while still in transit if circumstances change. Once dispatched, these options are automatically available. See this link for more information: https://dhlexpress.com.sg/articles/on-demand-delivery
Additional Information:
As a small team, dispatching orders is prioritised over monitoring emails, which means if you have emailed requesting this, your order could be dispatched before we read your email (especially likely during busy times).
If you wish to amend or cancel an order you've recently placed and have not yet received an order processing update email, you can try calling our packing team on 0330 043 9063 to see if we can help.
If you have already received the goods or your order has been processed by the time we read your cancellation request, you are welcome to return the items to us as per our return policies here
Please note that once you receive a delivery notification, this means the order has been packed and processed, and we are no longer able to amend it or cancel it.
Discount codes must be used at the time of checkout - we have no way to add a discount code once the order has been placed. Only one discount code can be used at a time during checkout, so, for example, a discount code redeemed via the gemstones program cannot be used in conjunction with any other discount code. For free UK shipping over £50, the cart must still be over £50 after the discount has been added for free shipping to be applied.
Please also note that once a code has been generated from your gemstones, we are unable to cancel the discount code and reapply the gemstones to it. We cannot add gemstones to your account retrospectively after an order has been placed. Therefore, it is a requirement that the correct email address be used for the account when placing an order if you wish to collect the gemstones generated from the order.
International Orders, Customs Processes, Fees and Import Restrictions
It is the customer's responsibility to ensure that any items purchased are eligible for import into the destination country. We cannot be held responsible for any items that are opened for inspection or examination, detained, or destroyed at the point of entry into the destination country. The same applies to any import taxes, duties or clearance fees, the customer is solely responsible, and if a parcel is refused or returned due to unpaid fees, we are unable to refund the original shipping cost or any additional fees incurred in the return, and these will be deducted from any refund that is issued.
Delivered... but there is no package?
It's vital that you let us know as soon as possible, as the carriers offer a limited window to claim in these cases. We send out an email when your parcel is 'out for delivery' and again when it is delivered. If you receive these emails and do not have a package, please contact us right away.
Delayed / Lost orders
Our delivery service considers a parcel lost after it has been in the postal system for 14 working days for UK orders and 21 days for International orders. Although it is highly unlikely that deliveries will take this long, we are unable to dispatch a replacement until this period has elapsed.
Recipient's Signature
Some deliveries may require a signature upon receipt. If you will not be at your usual address during normal office hours, please provide an alternative delivery address with your order, where someone will be available to sign for your parcel. If you are unable to sign for your parcel, you should receive a card with written instructions explaining where and when to collect it. If you do not collect your parcel within the specified time frame (usually 7 days or after 3 delivery attempts), it will be returned to us. If this happens and you would like us to resend the parcel, the resending cost must be paid in advance.
Processing Orders
We dispatch orders Monday through Friday. Orders are usually dispatched within 24 to 48 hours. Orders received after 11 am or on a non-working day will be dispatched the next working day. Note: Delivery to rural addresses may take an additional day or two.
If a product you have ordered is out of stock, we will contact you as soon as possible. If you place multiple orders within a short period (generally 24-48 hours), your orders may be consolidated and delivered as a single order. If your order contains multiple items, some may be dispatched separately. If this does happen, we will send you a confirmation e-mail to let you know that there is more than one parcel.
Wrong Address
We are not responsible for the loss of your order if the delivery address you provided at checkout is incorrect or incomplete. If your address is incorrect or incomplete, your order may be returned to us, or the courier may apply a charge to your delivery cost, which will be added to your order. If your package is returned to us due to an incorrect or incomplete address, you will be responsible for the delivery cost to re-deliver your order to the corrected address.
Delivery Returned or Refused & Eligible Refunds
If delivery is attempted and you are not available to receive your order, the carrier will advise you on how to collect your order or arrange re-delivery.
If you do not arrange this within a certain timescale, the goods are likely to be returned to us. When this happens (or if the delivery is refused outright by the addressee), you are entitled to a refund for any non-perishable items, minus the actual p&p charges incurred when sending out the original order. This also means that if an order has free or subsidised delivery (meaning we have covered all or part of your postage), our actual postage costs will be deducted from the refund given.
Refusing a delivery
Please note that if you refuse delivery of the goods once they have been sent to you, we reserve the right to bill you for both the cost of sending the item(s) to you AND the cost of returning the item(s) to us. If you refuse an order without our instructions and it is lost in transit, we will not refund the value of the goods. All liability for the goods will have passed to the person who refused the delivery. Any losses or damage that occurs to any lost parcels will be the responsibility of the person who ordered the goods.
Please note that for larger or heavier items delivered by courier, an additional fee may be charged to return the order to us. If this is the case, any additional fees will also be deducted from any refund issued. Please note that any perishable or semi-perishable items are not eligible for refunds as per below:
Perishable, Semi-perishable Items and Digital Items
Please note that any perishable or semi-perishable items (such as miso, which must be refrigerated upon delivery) returned are not eligible for a refund, as they cannot be resold to another customer. We cannot offer refunds on digital items such as gift cards.
Damaged goods in transit:
If any goods are damaged in transit, please take a photo and email us. We will then be happy to offer a discount or send a replacement. Please note that we are unable to resolve issues of faulty or damaged products without a photo for our records.
