Delivery

DELIVERY

Delivery to the United Kingdom is now free! If you live outside the UK there will be a small additional charge. If you are abroad and feel the charge is unreasonable please contact us for a accurate quote.

Your order will either be delivered by Parcel Force or Royal Mail. All orders will be processed and then dispatched within 1-3 days. Our dispatch cut off time is 12pm Monday to Friday, therefore any orders placed after this cut off time will be dispatched within the next 2 working days. We don’t dispatch any orders across the weekend, only working days which is Monday to Friday.

Delivery time

When an item is in stock, as is normally the case, it will usually be dispatched within 1 -2 working days of receiving cleared payment for the order (excluding weekends and bank holidays). If there is any delay in dispatching the order or the item is temporarily out of stock we will notify the purchaser by e-mail.

We dispatch larger orders or items weighing over 1.5kg by courier service, Smaller items are sent by Royal Mail. Whilst we will always try to ensure the order reaches its destination as quickly as possible, we will not accept responsibility for any delay caused by Royal Mail or Parcel Force as all stated delivery times are a guideline only, not a guarantee.

All items dispatched by the courier are tracked and in the unlikely event of the parcel going missing, we will send out a replacement after 4 days of the expected delivery date if the item cannot be located.Any item sent by Royal Mail is not officially missing until it has been out of circulation for 15 working days. Items will be replaced or refunded only after we receive confirmation from the Royal Mail that the item is lost.

If you need a delivery date or want it by a certain date please email us on sales@a1decoy.co.uk

If you miss your delivery

Royal Mail should post a card through your letterbox should you be out and you can either contact Royal Mail to arrange re-delivery or after 24 hours you can collect the item from your local Royal Mail depot. Royal Mail will hold the item for 10 days and if it is not collected the item will be returned to us. A re-delivery charge will be incurred by the purchaser before we re-send any returned item.

Parcel Force will attempt delivery twice on most items. The couriers should leave a card should you be out or access to your property is restricted, Please read this card as it will tell you whether:

  • They attempt to deliver the parcel again tomorrow.
  • Your parcel has been left with a neighbour.
  • Your parcel has been taken to your local Post Office branch.
  • Your parcel has been returned to the Parcel Force depot.

Contact details for Parcel Force will be on the card left so if re- delivery next day is a problem then contact them ASAP to arrange a suitable date. After two failed attempts to deliver, the item will be returned to your local Post Office if it will fit through their security window, or if it is too large in size to your local Parcel Force Depot. If it is not collected from there within 16 calendar days it will be returned to us and a re-delivery charge will be incurred by the purchaser before we dispatch the item again.

After placing your order please keep an eye on your emails (junk/spam box too) as you will get a “Item dispatched” email which, If you have selected a service with one, will included a tracking number and an estimated day of delivery.

If any special delivery requirements are necessary please e-mail us before placing your order. We can send items by Royal Mail or Parcel Force to arrive on Saturday, but it does incur a greater delivery charge.

International deliveries

The majority of our items can be sent outside of the UK, the cost of this is calculated on an individual basis by both the weight of the item and the country which the item is being delivered. Due to the varying laws of different countries and the very limited courier options (due to most couriers treating batteries and aerosols as restricted items) we can no longer dispatch any items which included batteries or any aerosol products outside the UK.

Thank you for reading our terms and conditions.
