Due to rising fuel costs courier companies have changed their delivery charge structure and this will affect you in the following situations: A: We arranged a certain delivery date with you, but you were not in and missed delivery. The courier company will charge our company the extra costs of re-delivery and we reserve the right to charge these extra costs to your account - each re-delivery attempt will cost from £6.95 depending on the size of the parcel. If the parcel is returned to us after delivery attempts have failed, we are charged in the region of £15.00; these return-to-sender costs will also be charged to your account. B: The above also applies to purchases, which are sent as a gift to a third party! If your gift can not be delivered, the original buyer is reponsible for the extra re-delivery or return-to-sender costs. However, we will advise you before we dispatch your parcel about the extra costs for dispatch by Parcel Force - their charges are higher than our courier companies, but the advantage is that non-delivered goods can be picked up from the nearest Parcel Force or Royal Mail depot. How will the above affect placing an order? If your order is large, bulky and/or over 2 kg in weight, dispatch will be with a courier company; their recent extra charges for re-delivery attempts force us only to accept payment by credit card, not by cheque, cash or debit card. Disclaimer: We try to update our databases as soon as possible, but cannot be held responsible for any mistakes in shipping charges and postage quotes as costs are subject to the fluctuating oil prices.
