UK DELIVERY ONLY FOR CHOCOLATES - EXCLUDING THE IRISH REPUBLIC
All
orders are dispatched using the Royal
Mail Next Day Special Delivery, (which is included in the
price), to ensure that they will arrive as quickly as
possible. If you want to be sure of next day delivery (available
Monday to Saturday) please order before before 3 pm UK
time the day before. If you want a guaranteed delivery on
a Monday please order before 10 am UK time on the the
Saturday before. Please note that we are not able to
deliver on Sundays.
Items sent by by Royal Mail special delivery are guaranteed by
the Royal Mail to be delivered by 12 noon the day after they are
dispatched by us, provided that the Royal Mail is not experiencing any
significant operational problems - such a postal or rail strike, or
severe weather. In
these circumstances it is possible that your order will not be
delivered the next day, and should this occur the only compensation we
can offer you for late delivery is a refund of the postage cost of
your order - as in turn , this is the limit of compensation that we are entitled
to from the Royal Mail.
*The Royal Mail will also not guarantee delivery on Saturday for items
posted Special Delivery on the Friday before - particularly if the
delivery is to a non residential address, such as to business or
commercial premises.
Please note that delivery times to some of the Scottish Islands can
take up to 2 working days from the date of dispatch.
Track and Trace
This is a special
feature of the Royal Mail next day special delivery service - we can
track your order,
from the moment we dispatch it, to the moment it arrives at it's
destination.
What happens if the recipient
is out when the chocolates are delivered?
If the recipient is out when the Royal
Mail tries to deliver your order, they will put a card through the
letter box,
which has 2 options on it:
Option 1: the recipient can call a number on
the card and the Royal Mail will attempt to deliver the following day,
which in the case of Saturday delivery, this would be on the Monday after.
Option 2: the recipient can collect the
package from
their nearest local sorting office
We cannot be held responsible for any
claims should the recipient be out, and/or the recipient does not
exercise one of these 2 options immediately upon return.
We accept all
orders subject to any National or Local restrictions which
may apply to deliveries, at the time of delivery, also the
effect of adverse weather conditions. Every effort will be made
to complete deliveries but we cannot be responsible for
restrictions out of our control. We will always contact you if
we are made aware of any problems. A delivery address telephone
number, is very important on all orders, especially for rural
deliveries.
We must stress that once we have dispatched your chocolates we are in the hands
of the Royal Mail. We are using their very best service and we
will not be responsible for any delays caused by this service
which will be out of our control.
