It is for the delivery company to contact you in case of any difficulties they have with your delivery. If you did not provide us with a telephone number and there were any issues with the delivery of your order, the delivery company would not be able to contact you.

What to do if your delivery doesn't arrive

It always makes us very happy when things run like clockwork but on occasion due to circumstances outside of our control your order may take a little longer to get to you than expected, please remember this is usually down to the courier.

Royal Mail will not class an item as lost or missing for 15 working days but we always ask that you wait for 7, we can not take action until this time has passed. During this time we recommend that you ask your local sorting office if they've already tried to deliver (even if they haven't left a card) and ask your neighbours if your order has been left with them. You should also check that the delivery address you gave us is correct, this can be found in your shipping confirmation email.

If your delivery still hasn't arrived after 7 days, please contact us with your order number (HB2009-******) so we can investigate further.
