Shipping and Returns

SHIPPING INFORMATION 

Most orders will ship within two business days. If your order is placed after 1 pm GMT on Friday, your order will be shipped out Monday. However, please allow for up to 48 hours for order processing during the busy times.

All orders are shipped out Monday through Friday via Royal Mail for our Untracked Services and Tracked Services. This excludes Public Bank Holidays and all other Major Holidays.

Please make sure to include any apartment, building, or suite number with your address if applicable. Any missing information from your address will effect delivery times and in some cases may cause your package to be returned to our office. In these cases, we will attempt to contact you for the correct address and additional shipping payment may occur. If no response after 72 hours, your order will be refunded, minus your original shipping charge.
