We are not obliged to accept any orders and sometimes we reject orders, for example, because a Product(s) are unexpectedly out of stock, because you are located in a country which we do not deliver to, or because the Product(s) were mispriced by us. When this happens, we will let you know as soon as possible and refund any sums you have paid.

The Product(s) shown for sale on this Website are intended for private, consumer use and you must not resell Product(s) or offer them as a commercial enterprise. We reserve the right to limit the total value of Product(s) which can be included in an order. If the total value of Product(s) in your bag exceeds the limit which we may choose from time to time, then we will contact you.

Delivery

Delivery dates specified on our Website and in any correspondence are estimates only.

Product(s) will be delivered to the address that you provide to us during the order process. So that our Product(s) can reach you, please make sure you provide a valid address for delivery. The delivery method that we use may vary depending on the nature and number of the Product(s). Please leave it down to our carriers to choose what they think is the most appropriate delivery method for the Product(s).

We will always try our best to meet all delivery times we communicate to you, but sometimes there may be delays – e.g. because of postal/carrier delays, logistics or bad weather. We will keep you updated as much as we can and you should be able to track your parcel’s progress.

If you have specific delivery instructions, we will do our best to pass this to our delivery partners (i.e. parcel carrier and delivery companies) so they can help deliver your parcel efficiently as possible, but we cannot be held liable for any parcels that are lost or stolen as a result of any specific delivery instructions left for the carrier.

Sometimes we may have to make alternative arrangements for delivery, which will depend upon the carrier we use to deliver the Product(s). This could include leaving the Product(s) with a neighbour or in a safe place at your property if we need to.

We understand it can be disappointing if your Product(s) aren’t delivered on the date expected. We might not be aware of this, so we ask you to notify us of a non-delivery within 30 days of the failed delivery so that we can take steps to rectify this.

We do our best to offer international delivery, but we can’t promise that all Product(s) we sell are eligible for it due to the carrier’s restrictions. Don’t worry, we will make you aware of this either by detailing this in the product description of the Product(s) or at the checkout or, in limited circumstances, we may have to cancel your order and issue you with a full refund.

Delivery Restrictions

As a result of various international carrier restrictions, certain Product(s) we sell are not eligible for international delivery. This will either be detailed in the item product description, at the checkout stage when you add such items to your basket or, in limited circumstances, we may have to cancel your order and issue you with a full refund.
