Missing Parcels
In the unlikely event of your parcel going missing, as the sender we will be responsible for making the enquiries and eventual claim for the lost items. This means that once the courier classes the parcel as lost, we can process a replacement or refund immediately.
If a parcel is sent on our 'Sprint' delivery service we should get a much quicker and detailed response from the courier.
Please contact us via phone or email if your parcel has not arrived within the expected time.
