Frequently Asked Questions
How long does delivery take in the UK and what are the costs?
Most UK orders are dispatched the same working day (Monday–Friday, excluding bank holidays) if placed before our cutoff times. We ship from our warehouse in Threemilestone, near Truro, Cornwall.
Delivery times vary by method see our delivery page for more detailed information
How do I know when an item will be back in stock?
We don’t have exact restock dates for most items (as they depend on our suppliers), but you can easily get notified when something is available again:
- On the product page, look for the "Notify me when back in stock" or "Stock reminder" box (usually below the "Add to cart" button when the item is out of stock).
- Simply enter your email address and click Subscribe / Notify me.
- We’ll automatically send you an email as soon as the item is back in stock and ready to order.
No need to keep checking the site, we’ll drop you a line the moment it’s available!
How do I track my order?
Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive an automated email with tracking details and a direct link to view your parcel's status.

What happens if my parcel is lost or damaged in transit?
We do everything we can to get your order to you safely. If something goes wrong, here’s what to do:
Lost / missing parcel
- UK orders: Use the tracking link in your dispatch email. If significantly delayed (e.g., 10+ working days for Standard), email us with order number & tracking info — we’ll investigate and arrange refund/replacement if lost.
- If tracking says "delivered" but you can’t find it: Check with family/housemates, around your property (porch, side gate, shed, under doormat), neighbours, or any safe point shown in tracking.
Still missing? Contact us - International Tracked orders: Can only be declared lost 30 days after shipment. Contact us after this time, we’ll start the claim and arrange refund/replacement where possible.

How do I use a gift voucher or discount code at checkout?
It's quick and easy to redeem a gift voucher or apply a discount code:

- The amount will automatically deduct from your total.
- If there's any remaining balance, pay the rest with your preferred method (card, etc.).

How do I place an order with a special request?
For products that allow special requests (such as specific stone selection), you'll see a "Special requests" box on the product page.

- We'll do our very best to honour your request.
- If we're unable to fulfil it for any reason, we'll contact you before dispatching your order to discuss options.
If your request applies to multiple items or the whole order (and there's no per-product box), you can also add it in the "Order notes" or "Add note" field at checkout, we'll see it there too.

We deliver to a range of different countries.

Shipping to the EU
We are not currently able to ship to EU countries while we navigate the new General Product Safety Regulations (GPSR). We are actively working to meet these requirements and hope to resume shipping to the EU as soon as possible.
