Where tracked shipping is selected, customers will receive a tracking number via email once the order has been dispatched.
Please allow up to 24 hours for tracking information to update after dispatch.
5. Delivery Times
Delivery times are estimates only and begin from the date of dispatch, not the date of order.
We are not responsible for delays caused by courier services, postal disruptions, weather conditions, or other external factors outside our control.

It is the customer’s responsibility to ensure that all shipping details provided are accurate at checkout.
We are not liable for delays or non-delivery caused by incorrect or incomplete addresses.
