What is your return and exchange policy?
Our no minimums ordering policy enables you to buy samples before purchasing for your event. In compliance with DSR200 we will accept cancellations and returns within seven (7) days of receipt of your order. Should you wish to return your order, please call our customer relations department for a return authorization. You will be responsible for all return shipping and duties and will be refunded only the product price, minus any shipping or other charges incurred on your behalf. If an order is returned without a return authorization, there will be a £20 processing fee. Due to the nature of these items (i.e. they cannot be resold,) personalized, cosmetic, edible and personal care favors are non-returnable and non-refundable. Due to the nature of these items, all sales are final. Some examples of non-returnable items are manicure sets, lip balms, lollipops, drink mixes, coffee, tea, jelly, honey and olive oil. We accept no liability for lost returns, so please select a method that allows for tracking.
What if I received my order, but some items are damaged?
Please inspect all items carefully when you receive your order. If there is any damage, please email us at at your earliest convenience, but no later than 7 days after the package was delivered. To request a credit or replacement on damaged or defective merchandise, we require that you email us a photograph of the damaged box and/or items. Keep the original box, packaging materials, as well as any paperwork that came in the box as FedEx may need to inspect the package. A customer relations specialist will help you file a claim with FedEx if needed.
How long before I receive my refund?
After we receive your package and inspect the items, you will receive an email confirming credit total. Credit will be issued in 3 to 5 business days. Please allow adequate time for your banking institution to process the credit.

When will my order ship?
Our shipping model is easy to understand! Processing time (pulling and packaging your order; personalising if requested) + shipping time = delivery time. We consolidate our international orders to help us give our customers the best shipping price, so please allow up to 3 to 4 weeks for processing. If an item requires personalisation, production time could take longer, depending on the item. Our "item details" provide additional information on production, so be sure to check before ordering.
Can you "rush" my order?

Currently we ship directly to Canada and the UK (England, Wales, Scotland, Northern Ireland and Lerwick & Shetland Islands). If your package needs to ship to another destination, you would have to arrange for a freight forwarder. Contact us at for more information.
