Delivery of your parcel
The delivery attempt is usually made the next business day. If the addressee is not at home, we may attempt to deliver your parcel to a neighbouring address (unless you instruct us not to do so).
If we are unable to complete delivery, your parcel will be delivered to the nearest post office where it will remain for 7 days. If no one comes to collect it in that time, the parcel will be returned to sender.
You can check the delivery status of your parcel at any time using our online tracking service.
If something goes wrong
We take the utmost care to ensure that your parcel is delivered in perfect condition. Occasionally, however, items may be lost or damaged in transit. In the event of loss or damage, we kindly ask you to contact our customer service.
