Please note: These estimates are not guarantees. Once your order has shipped, it is passed to your postal service who will deliver it to you in keeping with their standard working practices. If your order hasn't arrived in the specified time we can only look into it if you selected tracked shipping. If your order was sent via standard (unrecorded) post we have to allow 21 days (28 days outside the UK) before we can escalate the order as lost.
*These delivery estimates do not apply to pre-orders until they have been dispatched.
HOW LONG WILL IT TAKE TO GET MY ORDER?
Because we are trying to be as sustainable as possible some of our items are made to order. This means that the lead time on an item is a little longer than you may expect. Usually we will aim to get most items shipped within 7 working days of your order date.
This does not include pre-ordered items. Once your order has been dispatched, we will send you an email informing you that your order is on its way. *Sometimes at busy periods like during special sales and seasonal periods it might take a little bit longer.
WHEN WILL I GET MY PRE-ORDER?
Pre-orders are dispatched to arrive as close to the release date as possible. International orders may take slightly longer.
WHERE CAN I TRACK MY ORDER?
You will receive an email once your order has left our warehouse. We use various couriers depending on size of the product and the destination and it will state on the email who has your item.
Below is a list of our usual couriers and links to their tracking services:
