Delivery, Refunds and Returns

Here at Laughing Hens we are completely dedicated to your total satisfaction. We do everything we can to ensure your order reaches you as soon as possible. We aim to pick, carefully wrap and dispatch your order within 2 working days, although this is not always possible during busy times such as sales. We are pleased to answer any questions or queries you have as a customer regarding the delivery of your items. Our team are able to help you via email or telephone, and if not immediately we will get back to you very shortly.

Order Amendments

PLEASE double-check that everything is correct before placing your order, as we are unable to amend details once an order has been placed.

Delivery Times and Postage Costs

Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a dispatch email informing you that your order is on the way.

Please see postage costs and estimated delivery times here. 

International customers: Please note that buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply. 

Delayed Items & Orders (Out of Stock / Split Orders)

As we are dedicated to ensuring you receive your goods as quickly as possible we may occasionally "split" your order. If an item from your order is out of stock, we will send the other items on your order that are available immediately. You will receive an email from us about a "split order" detailing the items that are out of stock, an estimate of when they will be back in stock and sent out to you, and a new order number for these out of stock items. You will then receive a dispatch notification for the items on your order that are available and have been sent. In the case of any further delays we will keep you updated by email.

In the unlikely event that your entire order is delayed, we will send you an email informing you of this along with an estimate of the expected dispatch date. 

Orders Not Received

If you have received a dispatch email and your order has not arrived, please check your tracking (if applicable) using the link provided in the dispatch email you received from us for updates. Very often the parcel was not been able to be delivered and is waiting for you at your local Royal Mail depot, in your designated "safe place" or with a neighbour.

Please leave 10 working days before contacting us regarding non-delivery. The Post Office only consider a parcel 'lost' if it has not been delivered 3 weeks after dispatch. If your order still has not arrived after this time please contact us via phone or email and we will be pleased to resend your order immediately, subject to items being available.

If you are not, we will happily accept returned items for a refund. Refund requests must be made within 30 days of receipt of your order. Please return the products in a re-saleable condition with appropriate packing along with the delivery note and why you are returning the goods. *We regret we cannot accept returns of patterns, books or leaflets due to copyright law on these items.
