How can I track my delivery?

You will receive a dispatch confirmation email which will include tracking information as soon as your order has been shipped. We recommend providing your contact number during checkout so that you can keep up to date with your delivery and benefit from the inflight options that all our shipping providers now use.

The tracking information available depends on the delivery service. The specifics of each individual service can be found below:

UK

Free Standard Delivery - Although we provide a ‘tracking number’ for orders shipped using this service, please note that it is not a fully tracked service. Royal Mail only scan the package once it has been delivered, so do not be alarmed if you track your order and the Royal Mail website says, 'An update will only be provided when we attempt to deliver your item'. This confirms it's on the way.

Royal Mail Tracked 24 - You can check the delivery status using the tracking ID and link shown on your Dispatch Confirmation email. The tracking link directly connects to the Royal Mail tracking website.

DPD Next Day - You can quickly track your parcel in future by clicking the 'Track Your Parcel' button in the top right of the DPD website header, and entering your DPD reference number. If your parcel tracking hasn't updated in the last two or three days, you can find out what you can do next by clicking here


International

Courier - This will be a fully tracked service. The courier we use will depend on your location. Please contact us on receipt of our dispatch confirmation email and we can provide the tracking details for your order.
