Order non-personalised items for Next Day delivery before 1pm Monday to Friday and your order will be dispatched the same day. Orders placed after 1pm on Friday through to Sunday evening, will not be processed until the Monday.

For personalised orders, we aim to have your artwork approved within 5 working days. Once all the artwork is approved, your order should be completed within 21 days. However, this can vary depending on the size of your order and our peak periods.

In the rare occasion that an item is unavailable, we will dispatch the rest of your order and the missing items will be refunded within 3-5 working days.

During busy periods it can sometimes take up to two working days for your order to be dispatched.

Please note that delivery times may take longer around Bank Holidays & Public Holidays (Christmas, New Year etc).

Once your order has been dispatched, you should receive a SMS or email from DPD with tracking details. We recommend downloading the DPD app for live updates from DPD.

+

All orders are dispatched via DPD and will require a signature for the goods.

On the day of delivery you should receive notification from DPD with an allocated time slot. You can use the DPD app or DPD tracking link to change the delivery date, arrange to leave your parcel somewhere safe at the delivery address, deliver it to your neighbour, drop it off at your local shop, or come to the depot to pick it up.

If you miss a delivery and do not inform DPD of an alternative means of delivery, DPD in most cases will automatically drop your parcel off at the nearest DPD Pick Up Point to your original delivery address for you to collect at a convenient time, you should be informed if this happens. DPD rarely now try multi delivery attempts on different days unless you change your delivery options via the DPD App or Link.

Please note: if your parcel is returned to us after a failed delivery attempt to the correct address, another delivery charge may be applied.

If you know you know you’re not going to be in, please select the DPD Ship to Store option and get your order delivered to your nearest store.

+

In the rare situation where your parcel is lost or mis-sorted while in transit and it isn't automatically corrected by DPD please contact our sales team who can contact DPD to get more information.

+

Unfortunately if you instruct DPD to leave your parcel in a "Safe Place" and it is no longer there when you arrive, it is best for you to contact DPD direct as we have no control over this situation, DPD should offer as much help as possible and should have photo proof of where the parcel was left.

+

On receiving your parcel, any physical damage should be reported immediately to the DPD driver. You must inform us of any discrepancies within 24 hours of signing for your order, so this can be investigated.
