Postage and Delivery
We will try and dispatch your order as quick as possible and you will usually receive your item before the estimated delivery date.
If an item is sent out via free delivery this will usually be via Royal Mail and this service is not trackable. This service will be delivered by your postman. Delays to receiving your item can be caused by your Postman being unable to deliver your item as it is to big to fit through your letter box. This will result in a delay to your delivery and your item being returned to your local sorting depo awaiting collection from you. Please note, they do not always leave a card, which will result in the item being returned to us at a later date currently 18 days after it has arrived at the sorting depo for non-delivery. Please make sure your address is full and correct at the time of ordering. If your item has not turned up after the estimated delivery date given when placing your order, please first contact your local Royal Mail sorting depo or speak with your local postman. Royal Mail will not consider a parcel lost until 14 days after dispatch so we have to allow this time for your item to be delivered.
If you require your item urgently or require a trackable service then please choose the service you require before checking out as these may prove more reliable than the standard free postage option. Unfortunately sometimes items are delayed and once they have left us these are beyond our control, however we will try our very best to help and assist you.
During these unprecedented times this item could be sent from our Main business address or our Head office, which are both located within 6 miles of each other in North Cornwall. Where can I find the estimated delivery date?
You can find an estimated delivery date on any eBay listing that offers postage. After completing your purchase, you'll find the updated estimated delivery date in your purchase history
If you need your item to arrive before a specific date, check the estimated delivery on the listing before you go to checkout or contact us
As the holiday season is upon us, we want to take a moment to inform you about potential delays in delivery times, particularly with Royal Mail 2nd class and 1st class services, especially for large letters.
Recent trends have shown that these services, which were traditionally expected to be delivered in 2-3 days, are experiencing longer delivery times to some areas up to 24 days to be delivered. Unfortunately, we can no longer guarantee delivery before Christmas using our free economy service, which is 2nd class.
To ensure that your orders arrive in a timely manner and to avoid any disappointment, we strongly recommend opting for a fully tracked service such as Evri or tracked Royal Mail. These services provide greater visibility and accountability throughout the delivery process.
It's important to note that selecting our free economy service, specifically Royal Mail 2nd class, comes with an inherent risk of delays. While we will make every effort to dispatch orders promptly, we want to be transparent about the potential challenges associated with non-tracked services.
Please be aware that we will not be held responsible for any delays caused when the Royal Mail 2nd class service is chosen. We value your business and want to ensure that your shopping experience with us is as smooth as possible.
If you have any questions or concerns, please don't hesitate to reach out to our customer service team. We appreciate your understanding and cooperation during this busy holiday season.
