SHIPPING INFORMATION
SHIPPING TO EUROPE
Following Brexit, we re-instated shipments to Europe. Despite a significant investment in software to ensure the required paperwork was supplied with all shipments, our experience and that of too many customers in Europe has been overwhelmingly negative. We want to ensure that all of our customers have a great experience and we don't want to allow a courier service to impact on that.
We have temporarily paused shipments to Europe whilst we take time to review our options with courier partners to manage orders leaving the UK.
COLLECT IN STORE
All of our online logistics and fulfilment take place at our Putney store. This means that:
If you choose to collect your order from the Brixton store, we will pick your order from our Putney location and transfer the order over to Brixton ready for you to collect. We will transfer orders at least once a week. They will be ready to collect from Brixton on the Friday afternoon following your order being placed. We will let you know if your order has been able to be transferred sooner than that.
We are working hard to find a more streamlined solution which will allow Brixton customers to click and collect almost immediately but this is not yet possible.
If you order to collect from our Putney store, your order will be ready to collect almost immediately (within our opening hours).
SHIPPING COSTS
We provide free shipping to the UK for all orders over £70.
All orders to be shipped to UK addresses that total less than £70 costs £7.49.
DESPATCH TIMINGS
We work to the following guidelines and in almost all cases meet and even exceed these packing and shipping times. In some rare instances delivery times may take longer (such as bank holidays, Christmas/New Year or periods of unusually high ordering volumes), please bear with us, your order is coming as quickly as possible.
UK ORDERS: All orders place before 6pm will be packaged ready for our courier partners to collect from the shop the following working day. We employ a next working day courier delivery service with DPD Local for UK addresses (please note that order to Northern Ireland, Highland and island addresses may take 2-3 working days) so once DPD have collected your order from us, your parcel should be delivered to you next working day. Please note that next working day delivery is not guaranteed by DPD but is rarely not achieved.
MISSED DELIVERY
If our courier partners have attempted delivery but been unsuccessful they will leave a missed delivery card with details of how to arrange re-delivery. Please contact the courier using the details on the card to arrange re-delivery.
