Delivery
How long will my order take to be delivered?
For Republic Of Ireland standard delivery orders are delivered within 2-5 working weekdays. The transit time of parcels to you will depend on your delivery destination. If you require an item for a specific date or event we recommend that you contact us for more information and to discuss your requirements. We cannot guarantee delivery by a specific date unless you discuss your requirements with us.
Which courier or postal service do you use?
Our orders are dispatched using An Post or FedEx. The choice of courier we use is determined by a number of factors including the weight and destination of your parcel. Our website will automatically select the most appropriate service for your order. On despatch of your order if you have provided a valid email address we will automatically email you with a parcel tracking number which you can use to track the progress of your parcel online.
What happens if I am out when the parcel is delivered?
All parcels require a signature on delivery, so it is important that you specify a delivery address where there will be someone available to sign for the parcel. If you are out when delivery is attempted the driver will usually leave you a card and they may attempt redelivery the following working weekday or deliver the parcel to your local Post Office or return it to their depot awaiting your further instructions. An Post parcels will be returned to the delivery office to await your further instructions, delivery will not be reattempted. If in doubt we recommend you track your parcel online in the first instance before contacting us as the majority of ‘missing’ parcels are either found at the local Post Office or with a neighbour.
Do I have to sign for the parcel?
For your peace of mind and security by default all parcels are dispatched using services which require a signature on delivery. If you request that your parcel is left without a signature it is done so at your risk. We will not replace missing parcels under these circumstances.
Can I have delivery to an address other than my card billing address?
Yes you may specify an alternative delivery address, but this may be subject to further security checks. Your billing address MUST be the address to which your card is registered. Please be aware that if you attempt to use a billing address that is not registered to the card then funds may be reserved in your account, but we will reject your order. Please only place orders using the correct billing address details, we will not be held liable for any attempts to use incorrect details, which may result in numerous reservations of funds on your account. Reserved funds are reserved by your bank in anticipation of your order being accepted, in the event that you use the incorrect details funds will still be reserved but we will not accept your order and cannot release the reserved funds. Reserved funds generally expire within 5 banking days, depending on the card issuer concerned.
Why is delivery outside Ireland more expensive?
We work hard to keep delivery costs to a minimum and our systems are designed to select the most appropriate delivery service for your order depending on factors such as weight, value and destination. Unfortunately delivery costs charged by couriers are often higher when delivery is outside of the Country, hence our delivery costs are also higher to these destinations.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery costs vary according to the nature of the items ordered. By logging in to your account (with correct delivery address) our website will display the cost of delivery when you add items to your basket. If your delivery country is not listed then the cost of delivery will not be correctly shown, please contact us for further assistance.
Do you deliver overseas?
Yes we deliver to Europe, USA, Canada, Australia, and Asia.
Why does standard delivery take so long?
To keep costs to a minimum standard and economy delivery generally takes advantage of courier’s services which are sometimes slightly slower than our express option. Items which are only available for standard delivery are also subject to stock transfers from reserve warehouses, this transfer will generally take between 2 and 5 working weekdays depending on the individual item. If you require an order for a specific date we recommend you contact our customer services team for further advice as we cannot guarantee the exact delivery time or date of any standard or economy delivery order.
Can I specify an exact day or time for my parcel to be delivered?
If you require a timed, Saturday or specific delivery day please contact our customer services office and we will advise the options available subject to stock availability.
Why is express delivery not available for my order?
If express delivery is not available for your order it is because one or more items is required to be transferred from a reserve warehouse, consequently this will slightly extend the delivery time for your order. We will of course do everything possible to get your order to you as quickly as possible.
Do you offer free delivery?
Our Economy delivery service is free to selected destinations on orders over €200 containing at least one full price item. Outside of these destinations our economy delivery option should be the cheapest offered by our site.
