Worldwide Delivery Options
We regularly ship to our clients across the globe. The majority of these orders come from Australia, Canada, New Zealand, Norway, South Africa, Singapore and Hong Kong, but we are able to ship to just about any destination worldwide. Through the postale and courier network we are able to get your order to you within a matter of weeks if not days. The options and prices for shipping your order to you will be shown when you select your country in your shopping basket. Delivery timing estimate shown in the basket under Shipping Options. Please see terms for delivery below.
Delivery Terms
- All orders are despatched from our base in the United Kingdom (UK). All returns need to be made to our UK warehouse and returns costs are for your account.
- Please ensure that you provide the correct address for shipping/delivery, and that the address is manned by you Monday to Friday during business hours - and is a safe delivery address. A signature is often required for delivery to take place. We are not responsible for parcels or items which go missing once the shipping service which you have selected delivers to the address which you have provided. Once an order is shipped it is often too late to change the address. Where we are able to change the address we charge GBP15, EUR15, USD15 to do so as we are billed by the shipping company.
- Your order may be subject to Customs Import Duties & Taxes and courier/postal service clearance fees when your parcel enters your country. These charges are out of our control and are for your account. However, we do send full customs invoices with each shipment to assist with speeding up the clearance process.
- If your delivery is time sensitive or if you are departing for a safari, please ensure that you select a service which will get the goods you ordered from us to you before your departure or cut-off date.
- We will always send your parcel with the service you select when you checkout with us online, unless we contact you to suggest an alternative method - and you agree to the new method.
- Once orders are despatched, they are handled by the third party delivery service which you selected at checkout. From that moment on the parcel is out of our hands and we are not liable should the parcel go missing or be damaged in transit. Should this happen then we are only able to refund you for the items purchased once we receive the parcel back, and then our returns terms apply. For parcels damaged or which go missing once we have handed it over to the shipping company - such as DHL or Global Mail - and which are not returned to us in accordance with our returns terms, the refund policy of the shipping company will apply for lost, damaged, or missing items. We will assist as best we are able to to arrange for the refund, but note that it may be less than the value of the goods ordered.
- Should you wish to insure your parcel before it is shipped, please contact us and we will be able to work out a quote for you with DHL. We are not able to insure Global Mail parcels.
- Should you require your order urgently, please call or e-mail us and we will advise you accordingly and obtain a quote for expedited delivery where necessary to get your order to you on time.
- Business days refers to Monday to Friday and excludes the day of posting, Saturdays, Sundays, and Bank Holidays in the UK and overseas.
- The delivery service you select may require a form of identification to clear your parcel through customs into your country.
- As a free service to our international clients, we sometimes split larger parcels into smaller parcels. This makes the parcels you receive not too heavy and easier to carry and may also simplify and speed up the delivery of your order. We either do this split manually after you have ordered or show the split in the basket.
- Once orders are despatched, we cannot change your delivery address nor cancel the delivery, so please ensure that the delivery address you include in your order is correct. Should you wish to cancel an order after it has been sent, then you will need to receive the parcel and return it to us in accordance with our returns policy.
- Please note that all delivery service timings are estimates and may be affected by things such as customs clearance, adverse weather, traffic congestion, and busy times of the year such as the run up to Christmas. Please bear this in mind when selecting your preferred delivery option.
- We recommend that you keep an eye on the tracking page for the delivery service you select at checkout to avoid missed deliveries and so that you know where your order is at any given moment. Checking once or twice a day is a good idea.
- We usually send liquids separately using a slower service. Please ensure that the estimated time it will take for the liquids to reach you falls before the date when you require the goods.
- For larger orders, should the delivery charge not cover our costs, we may contact you for additional payment.
- For more terms which govern overseas orders, please read the Delivery Times and Charges and Overseas Orders sections in our terms and conditions.
