Tracking an Order
If you have not selected a tracked shipping option at the checkout then we cannot track your package.
If you want the reassurance of a tracked package then please select the correct shipping upgrade before you complete your order or contact us to discuss your options.
Packaging
We try to use as little plastic as possible and we're consciously trying to minimise wasteful packaging.
Stock Availability & Quantities
The quantity available on the webshop should be the amount of actual stock we have, however there can be a delay to stock updates between the store checkout and the website checkout so there is a margin for error.
Occasionally we don't have as much stock as stated, in these cases we will contact you:
- you can choose to have the the available stock
- or you can wait for more stock
- or cancel the order :-(
