1. When will my order be dispatched?
We will ask you when you want your order sent. The dispatch date is the day we post your order, and NOT the day it should arrive. If you order cards which are to be sent back to you, we will also include a blank envelope for you to use.
The following dispatch dates are relevant to when you order:
2. How will my order be delivered?
Cards, A2 and A1 sized Wrapping Paper have the option of 1st class post or our trackable deliveries.
Rolls of Wrapping Paper and all Banners are sent by tracked 24 or 48 hour courier due to their size and weight.
All printed products sent by Royal Mail First Class mail - we expect 90% of all orders to arrive the next working day, however, it may take up to 3 working days to arrive, particularly during peak periods. Royal Mail first class isn’t trackable. If you require a quicker delivery service, you should use our 24 or 48 Hour Tracked Delivery option (see below).
Orders placed before 2pm (Mon-Fri) are sent out the same day (except Bank Hols).
Items sent 24 or 48 Hour Tracked Delivery require a signature*. To avoid having to collect the package from the depot, or it being redelivered at a later date, please ensure that there is someone available to sign at the delivery address, or have it delivered to a work address.
It is recommended that you allow as much time as possible for your order to be delivered and where possible you should include a Postcode or Zip.
