An announcement bar on the website homepage will advise if there is a longer wait expected.

What do I do if my Parcel hasn’t arrived?

We use Royal Mail and in the majority of cases it should arrive within 1 –2 days for first class and 3-4 days for second unless your particularly area has delays. On the rare occasion it has taken longer. Royal Mail do advise that we have to allow up to 10 working days from expected delivery date for the parcel to arrive. Only after the 10 days are up can you launch an investigation and ask for compensation from Royal Mail. In your despatch confirmation email, there will be a Royal Mail tracking number which will tell you whether they have attempted delivery or if the parcel has been delivered or is maybe awaiting collection from the delivery office as you may have been out when they tried to deliver.
