Part Delivered

If you receive part of your order, please inform within 3 days of receipt of order via email: [email protected] or telephone: 01245 471115.

We need to contact the courier companies to find out more information about your parcel/s. If the goods are lost within the courier companies’ system, then we will ask for you to complete a courier disclaimer form in order for us to claim for the missing goods against the courier. If the goods are classed as missing we will send replacements. 

Misrouted Goods

Some goods may unfortunately be misrouted through the courier system through no fault of our own, so you may expect a day or two delay, we can only apologise on their behalf for this error and thank you for their patience. The courier companies usually advise us if the goods are misrouted and we will contact you to advise you of the delay. Once the correct depot has received the goods, they will then deliver.
