Baby Bundles of Joy - Delivery Charges
GIFTS, BABY BOXES AND GENERAL ORDERS
All gifts and orders are always despatched either by Royal Mail First Class Post, First Class Recorded Post, Royal Mail Special Delivery or by Courier (overnight delivery service), depending on the size of package, value and weight. Bundles of Joy will always endeavour to despatch your gift/order either the same day or within 24 hours, except for personalised items, where delivery times are clearly stated on our website with the product. If no timeline is given with a personalised item, it will be sent out within 1-2 days. The customer will be informed within a few hours if there is a delay in sending out any part of your order.
Free gift wrapping is provided with every order that has a gift tag message, unless we have specifically stated with the item, that no gift tag is available with that item. If you do not fill in the gift tag box, then we will not giftwrap your order.
Owing to increasing postage costs, our minimum postage cost is £3.50 and the maximum cost is £10.00 on any order going to a single address. When placing your order, the costs will be shown before any payment is requested. In exceptional In exceptional circumstances concerning furniture and very large orders, we may have to contact you to increase the postage charge, and in this case, you will have the right to cancel your order.
If your order is sent by Royal Mail Recorded Delivery, Special Delivery or Courier, please note that these parcels will have to be signed for and therefore please provide us with the most appropriate address for you to receive these goods. If in the case you are not in for delivery, the carrier will leave a card for you to contact them to arrange a new delivery.
First class post is not a guaranteed next day delivery service and may take a few days to arrive. If you have not received your order within 7 days, please contact your neighbours or local Royal Mail sorting office, in the first instance, to see if a parcel is waiting for collection, as sometimes they forget to leave a card. If the parcel is not there, then please contact us. If your order does not appear within 15 working days, then we will despatch the order again or offer a full refund. This rule does not apply during the Royal Mail Strike.
First class recorded delivery is a service that requires a signature on delivery. This is not a trackable service until signed for. If you would like to be able to track and know your parcel has arrived, then please select the next day delivery service.
Please note, on average, Bundles of Joy sends out over 70-100 packages a day by 1st class post and 1st class recorded post and we rarely have a package go missing. On our Next Day Delivery Service and Courier service, we never have a parcel go missing, although in very rare conditions, your parcel may be delayed by one day owing to national and local traffic and weather conditions and we will not refund the costs for this service, if these actions are out of our control.
