What if I’m not at home to accept my delivery?

Don't worry! Here's some info to help put your mind at rest:

Express Delivery - DHL and DPD offer various options for you to choose! Often they will automatically try to deliver your parcel the next day if no one is home. There are also options for you to select a neighbour's house, a safe place to leave it or even get it delivered to one of their local pick up points.

Standard Delivery - If you are not home Royal Mail will leave a calling card to tell you that it's been delivered to a neighbour or that its been taken back to your local sorting office. They usually hold it for around 7-10 days giving you plenty of time to pop in and pick it up.

If you fail to take delivery of the ordered goods and they are returned to us, we will contact you upon their arrival via email. A refund of the cost of goods without shipping will be processed within 7 days unless you have notified us before then to advise that the goods are still required. If the goods are still required, you will be charged an additional shipping fee for a second delivery.

It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure there is someone at the delivery address at the specified date to sign for the parcel. If no one is present the courier may deliver the goods to a neighbour either side or directly opposite and should leave a card to advise where this parcel has been left. Alternatively, the parcel can be left in a safe location on the property, such as porches with a door, sheds or greenhouses and garages. If a parcel is showing as being delivered but you are claiming non receipt of a parcel, please contact Customer Services directly through our website. Notification of such failures must be made within 7 working days from last day of expected delivery. Please allow 3-5 working days from date of notifying us to allow us to investigate with the courier. If a refund is applied and the goods are later located then we reserve the right to place a debit for these goods unless you return them to us.
