Where's my stuff?

I have received a despatch note via email but nothing has arrived?

- Once you have received the despatch note your goods should normally arrive within a week, or two at the most.

I have NOT received a despatch note via email.

- This means that we have not despatched your order yet, or the despatch email has gone in your junk mail.
- The main reason for this being that some or all of the items that you ordered were not in stock and we must therefore await delivery from our suppliers.
- Handmade crafts can take time, so please be patient and check to see if your item is a 'made to order' item on the page where you purchased it and if so it will usually display the average production time.
- If you have waited longer than the estimated production time then please contact us here
