Delivery Issues

What if I'm not home?

If you're not home when delivery is attempted, the courier will leave a card with instructions for collection or redelivery. You may also be able to redirect the package to a nearby collection point.

  1. Check the tracking information

Please ensure your delivery address is correct at checkout. If you've entered an incorrect address, contact us immediately. Once shipped, we may not be able to redirect the package, and you may be responsible for reshipping costs.

Packaging

All orders are carefully packaged to ensure products arrive in perfect condition. We use:
