If you miss both deliveries DPD will hold the parcel for 9 days, and we will get in touch with you to make arrangements. If the item is returned to us a second shipping charge may be applicable.

Split Orders (Mainland UK only)
Our policy is to wait until all the ordered goods are available prior to sending them to you. However should you order several items and some of which are out of stock you may wish to ‘split’ the shipment and have the available items to arrive first. We will contact your directly for payment of the second parcel as detailed below.

  • If the original order value is over £150 - Should you choose to 'split' the shipment and wish for the stock items to be shipped immediately, with the remainder to follow, there will be one shipping fee added to the second shipment 'if' that parcel value is less than £150. (Either £7.99 or £5.99). The first shipment will still be sent free of charge.
  • If the original order value is less than £150 - Should you choose to 'split' the shipment the standard shipping fees will be added to each parcel (Either £7.99 or £5.99) as appropriate.
  • This applies to UK mainland shipment addresses only and does not apply to overseas parcels which are shipped for the agreed fee as appropriate.
