Terms and Conditions of the sale
By continuing to completion of this transaction you are confirming acceptance of our Terms and Conditions of this Sale.
1) Sending Items:
We will always aim to send items as soon as we can, but reserve the right to take up to 3 working days to dispatch an item. Once dispatched your items should arrive within 2 working days, but all items have a 15 working days time-frame before being considered undelivered; in case of delays outside of our control.
By completing the sale you agree we (us or the courier) can arrange delivery of your items to you, a neighbour or to a safe location.
1.1) Sending Items (Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands/Islands, Scilly Isles, Isle of Wright & Channel Islands):
These regions have an extra postage charge due to the extra cost to deliver your items; this charge is based on the weight of the item.
If your eBay account is set up in one of these locations all listings will show the total postage cost with these charges already included.
1.2) Sending Items (Global Shipping Programme):
Items sent via the Global Shipping Programme do not have access to postage offers and discounts.
2) Delivery Liability:
Items are sent to the shipping address in your order, we do not accept responsibility if your address details are incorrect on your order or if you change the delivery address or location with the courier at a later date, this also includes telling the courier to deliver to a neighbour or secure location of what we’d only be responsible for the delivery of the item to this location and not for its safety once delivered to said location.
It’s the customers (receivers) responsibility to make sure their personal main door (for deliveries) is accessible for the courier.
For example: making sure any driveway gates are not locked, the main door into an apartments building is able to be opened by the courier (adding a passkey etc).
If our courier does not have access to your main door they will not be able to make a successful delivery attempt and this may cause a Return to Sender, please check section 4.1)
2.1) Delivery Liability: (Return To Sender)
If an order is damaged, delayed or lost in transit, an investigation will start, this may take upto 30days. The order is normally placed on a RTS (Return To Sender) and will be Refunded upon it’s return, 30days limit or before when possible. This is done, as even though we request the RTS, the courier may not implement this service quick enough, leading to a repair (if outa packaging), finding the item etc and completing the delivery to you, the buyer.
3) Postage / Couriers:
We use Royal Mail, Evri, Yodel, DPD & DHL.
Couriers may take extra time to deliver an item from general delays, at busy periods, bank holidays, etc, at this point items may take longer than our aimed 2working days to get to you.

6.3) Items (Food) (special offer/discount):
If there is a special offer/discount on a listing these orders may be fulfilled with the same product but in alternative packaging then shown on the display picture due to us being able to get a bulk offer on larger sacks and these larger sacks are used to fill the smaller orders.
