Delivery
- How are my products packaged and delivered?
- How an order is packaged depends on its size and weight. All our parcels are dispatched from Göteborg. Parcels weighing up to 2 kg are normally sent in durable and padded envelopes. These packages are classed as a-letters and are delivered to your mail box. Packages heavier than 2 kg are sent in cardboard boxes and are classed as trackable packages and are given special tracking numbers. These deliveries require that you either sign for them on delivery, or pick them up at the post office.
- How much is the shipping rate?
- All orders have an additional shipping fee that depends on the weight and size of the parcel. The current shipping rates are £ 3 or £ 9 including tax. The shipping rate will be displayed in your trolley and the till. There are no additional costs besides shipping.
- My order status says that my orders have been dispatched, but I have not received my parcel. Can I trace my package in any way?
- If you paid a shipping fee of £ 3 your parcel was sent as an a-letter. This offers the fastest possible delivery, but these parcels are not trackable. We recommend you to check with your local post office, to see if i4s there.
If you paid a shipping fee of £ 9 your package was sent as a trackable package. Contact our customer support and we’ll give you your tracking number.
