Please check that the item is marked as “in stock” if you are expecting your order to be dispatched on the same working day it is placed (orders must be placed by 3 pm, Monday to Friday). “Pre-order” and “custom-made to order” items have a longer dispatch timeframe, which is clearly stated on the product page.

For products marked “dispatches in x working days,” the dispatch timeframe starts from the next working day after your order is placed; for example, an order placed by 3 pm on Monday would be expected to be dispatched by Thursday.

If your order contains a mix of in-stock items and items that are on back-order or pre-order, we will usually hold your order until all items are ready to dispatch.

Once the courier has confirmed that the parcel is missing, you will be required to sign a loss confirmation document which may be sent via post — this must be returned to the courier, once the signed document has been received and acknowledged by the courier, a replacement or refund will be issued.
