Can I cancel my order?
If you’ve placed an order with us and qualify for a cancellation (the item has not been dispatched), please note that there will be a £5.00 restocking/admin fee applied to the order.

My parcel is missing, what should I do?

While we’re not responsible for lost/stolen packages once the courier marks them as delivered, we’d be happy to help you locate your missing order. Please follow the steps below:

  • Check with your family or neighbours as it’s possible that one of them received the package on your behalf.
  • Check exterior doors or other places where the courier may have left your package (e.g. behind a plant). There’s a possibility that the courier left the package out of plain sight to ensure its safety (especially since these parcels do not require a signature)
  • If you still can’t locate the package after this, please let our Customer Service team know that your order is missing and share your order number with them.
Why was my parcel returned to sender?

Below are the common reasons why packages get sent back to us:

  • The address on file is incorrect. To ensure the smooth delivery of your package, please double check your shipping address before placing your order.
  • The recipient isn’t available to accept the delivery.
  • The recipient or a family member refused to accept the delivery.

If the courier wasn’t able to successfully deliver the package, they’ll hold on to it in a nearby distribution center. If the retaining period is exceeded and the package remains unclaimed, it gets returned to the sender.

If your package has been returned to us, we’d be happy to reship. Simply send your updated shipping address and order number to our Customer Service team via our contact page. We can also provide a refund (less shipping and handling charges).

Something is missing from my order

Will my return postage be refunded?

Unfortunately we are unable to refund the £2.70 (postage cost from us to you) which was a cost incurred through sending the item to yourself. This service was undertaken by Royal Mail (a third party organisation) and was undeniably executed. Therefore this is a cost which was incurred by us (on your behalf due to it being free shipping) which we are unable to be refunded due to the aforementioned reason. 

We are also unable to refund the postage cost of your return (from you to us).

if the item is ‘faulty’ then we can refund this cost up to £2.70 through refunding you in full for your original transaction.

We appreciate that the aesthetics of your book might not have been up to our usual standard and to your full satisfaction. However if the team inspected the book before (through your photos provided) and after it’s returned to us (physically) and it is still found to be since this was an ‘aesthetic imperfection’ opposed to something which would affect the function of the item, the book will be deemed as being returned out of choice opposed to the inability for it to function so to speak. We will have offered an exchange to improve your satisfaction of the product, opposed to it being a necessity for its full use.

Can I have a refund?

We are so sorry that you feel this way, and were wondering if there was anything that we could do to increase your satisfaction with your order?
