1. Where is my order – it has been a while since I ordered?

Every effort is made to pick, carefully wrap and dispatch your order the next working day. Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a dispatch email informing you your order is on the way. If you have not received a dispatch email within 3 days please contact us and we will be please to update you with progress of your order.

If a dispatch email has been received your order is in transit to you. All orders are sent via USPS and the delivery times are expected to be within 5-7 working days depending on the service in your area. Occasionally it can take longer to deliver your order (especially during busy periods such as Christmas and periods of extreme weather), please wait 14 working days after the dispatch email is received before contacting us about non receipt of orders and we will endeavor to resolve this for you.

2. Why do you have to wait 3 weeks before we resend you order in the event that it is lost in the post?

We are advised to give this amount of time by our carrier. We send a large volume of orders and only in a minute percentage of cases do they not arrive on time. Even if an order is delayed it normally does arrive safely. Sending a replacement order too soon would result in the customer receiving duplicate orders.

We do not to give the post office a chance to deliver the order. If your order still has not arrived after 3 weeks we will gladly refund it.
