Delivery & Returns

Brexit Update

 

We're shipping within the UK and to the EU as normal. To our customers in England, Scotland, Wales and NI you will receive your order with Royal Mail as usual with no customs, checks or tariffs.

 

To our customers in the EU, orders are dispatched from within the EU using priority tracked airmail. You can make your purchase in exactly the same way as before and it will be delivered in exactly the same way. It will be dispatched from within the EU and so you will pay no customs fees or charges upon delivery.

 

Should you wish to return your order to us, you can still do so exactly as you normally would - just pop it in the post as usual.

 

Coronavirus (COVID-19) Update

 

It's business as usual here at LTBNHQ. Our suppliers and couriers are still operating as normal and orders are still being processed and dispatched as usual.

Our deliveries and collections are now completely contactless - our staff have no contact with any of the collection or delivery drivers, and vice versa.

Royal Mail have notified us of delivery delays due to the volume of mail they are handling. We are still dispatching orders as normal on an expedited service with Royal Mail 24, but delivery may take a few days longer. We thank you for your patience during this time.

Should you need your order by a particular date, wish to be able to track your order or receive automatic updates on delivery, we strongly recommend you choose from the Tracked 24 or Special Delivery options we have at the checkout. If you don't select from these options, we will have no way to track your order or to give delivery estimates, as this information is not available with Royal Mail 24.

Royal Mail are delivering Special Delivery items up to 9pm on the day of delivery. Whilst Special Delivery is still the fastest and most reliable way to receive parcels from us, Royal Mail are not guaranteeing delivery nor offering any compensation for delivery delays or lost parcels.

If we encounter any delays to your order we will of course let you know as soon as possible.

 

We know you'll want your order as quickly as possible, which is why we endeavour to dispatch orders within 24 hours of receipt. In fact, we dispatch most orders the same day they're placed!

For guaranteed next working day delivery, place your order by midday and select the next day shipping option at the checkout. Orders placed after midday will be dispatched the following working day, Monday - Friday.

If for any reason there will be a delay with your order, we will contact you as soon as possible. If you've any questions, please don't hesitate to contact us at mail@lovetobenatural.co.uk.
