To change the date of your wedding please reach out to your Wedding List Advisor.
Sadly, we are experiencing some delays to our usual quoted lead time of 6-8 weeks. We have found that some of our suppliers are experiencing delays due to supply chain disruptions, unprecedented demand for homeware items and now Brexit. We hope to have items in our warehouse within 10-12 weeks or ordering them and are in constant communication with our suppliers for the latest updates.
If we are unable to source a present for you, our standard procedure applies. We will let you know as soon as possible and offer you an alternative option. If the present has been bought from your list we will credit your account.
Our warehouse is open. We have been working hard behind the scenes to introduce new systems and safety measures; the safety and wellbeing of our incredible delivery and warehouse team remains at the forefront of every decision we make.
We are running our warehouse and deliveries with a much smaller team than usual, so please bear with us if it takes us a little longer than usual to deliver your presents.
We have introduced the following initiatives to ensure the safety of both our drivers and you, our couples:
- All our deliveries will be contactless. We will call you when we’re nearby and deliver to your doorstep. Please make sure that you have the man-power to take your presents inside your home
- We will not be delivering any furniture that requires more than one person to lift it
- We will be delivering Monday – Friday between 10am and 2pm
- Our drivers will be equipped with sufficient PPE
To arrange a delivery please reach out to our in-house delivery team here.
Yes, if you have already arranged a delivery this will still be fulfilled by our delivery team. We will be operating ‘to door’ deliveries, in line with major delivery companies. This is to protect both you and our drivers. They will call ahead to inform you of their arrival time and place your delivery on your doorstep, for you to then take into your home. They will not leave until you open the door, ensuring the security of your presents at all times.
Should anything change which affects your delivery, we will be in touch to rearrange.
We are operating our warehouse with a skeleton team and have carried out extensive training on safe working practices. We will be practicing social distancing within the warehouse and all staff will be equipped with PPE.
Our drivers have received extensive support on the importance of hygiene protocol. They all carry the necessary products in their vans to ensure they can sanitize their hands and van at any point. Drivers will also be equipped with PPE for all deliveries.
Our drivers will be conducting contactless deliveries, to protect both themselves and our customers.
To keep all of the hard work you have put into building your wedding list, we would highly recommend putting a temporary future date against your wedding list, rather than cancelling it. This will ensure that you can still access your list, should you set an alternative date for your wedding.
If this isn't possible, and you do need to cancel your wedding, then please reach out to your Wedding List Advisor. We are always here to support you and will help you through this difficult time.
The health and well-being of our customers and our staff is our utmost priority. We've been taking the necessary steps and following government guidelines to protect our employees and couples. We are ready to react to any new measures announced to ensure we are always following protocol.
Our staff have our full support to stay at home if they are feeling unwell, and are encouraged to follow government advice. It's our intention that staff will receive their regular pay during this period.
Our company ethos remains at the forefront of every decision we make. We are a small business and a family - every member of staff will be supported during this time no matter what.
Rest assured, your money is protected. All guest contributions towards wedding lists are held in a separate ring-fenced trust account. The money is held in this trust until a couple instruct us to purchase their presents on your behalf.
You have the right to cancel your order and receive a full refund if you cancel your purchase within 14 days, starting from your order confirmation date.
If a wedding gets cancelled, we will refund your order.
