Where's my stuff?
- Once you have received the despatch note your goods should normally arrive within a week, or two at the most. Please note though postal delays can occur, especially over busy holiday periods, so please allow 7 days for UK deliveries and 35 days for international post before contacting us about a missing parcel.
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
- Stock items can sometimes be out of stock due to supplier problems or sudden high demand, if this is the case we will email you within 1 working day to inform you.
