Do you Ship Worldwide?

Where is my Order?

Please track via the courier website & allow 24-48 hours for updates to appear on their system. Once the order is shipped, we no longer have control over the journey or updates of the parcel. If your order is delayed for any reason, we recommend you contact the courier company for more information. Your tracking link in your dispatch email will provide you with the latest updates.

Both the websites & apps allow you to keep track of your order’s journey & manage all your delivery preferences, including safe-place delivery, delivery to a neighbour or delivery to a local pick-up shop.

The New EVRI Parcel App is here

The Evri website can be found here, or click the link on your dispatch email. You can easily divert your parcel to a preferred neighbour, safe place, ParcelShop or Locker via the Website & app.

UK Mail & DHL

DHLwebsite & app can be found  here

Track your DHL Parcel UK delivery quickly & easily using real-time track service. The online tracking system is the fastest way to get up-to-date information on your parcel’s location within the DHL/UKMAIL network.

You can rearrange a delivery online to a day that better fits you or arrange delivery to your local DHL Parcel UK ServicePoint.

On the day of delivery, you can select to receive a ‘You’re next’ notification when the driver is one stop away, typically 5-15 minutes before the delivery. This is available either from the link on the 1-hour delivery window notification, or you can opt for this notification by visiting the track a parcel area.

Reduced air & freight capacity, high volumes, postal strikes & ongoing Covid restrictions are all impacting transportation & local delivery across the globe. This is entirely beyond our control, & we cannot be held responsible for delays within the postal service.

Please note; that when requesting to ‘leave in a safe place’, you are doing so at your own risk, & we accept no liability for lost or stolen goods.

Tracking isn't working

Please allow up to 48 hours from the dispatch of your order for the tracking to become available. Track the order via the courier website & check for updates to appear on their system. It can take a few business days for some shipping couriers to update further tracking details on their Website.

Please get in touch with us if your tracking number does not work or hasn’t been updated within 5 business days. Our Customer service team will get right on that for you!

 

Missed a Delivery?

Contact your local postal service or sorting office to see if the item has been returned to the depot as undelivered & or awaiting collection. Use your tracking ref to arrange a redelivery with the courier.

If you are unavailable to receive or refuse the package, it will typically be returned to send.

Order returned to sender

Customers are responsible for tracking their parcels. Shipments may be returned to the sender by the courier due to an incorrect address or a delivery issue. Updates specific to the reason will be available on the tracking details of your order.

Depending on the return reason, re-shipping fees will be due if you would like us to resend your parcel.

The following return reasons require a re-shipping fee –

• Refused or Rejected –  Parcel refused or rejected by the addressee.
• Unpaid customs taxes – import tax or extra fees not settled by the recipient.
• Insufficient/Incorrect address – recipient incorrectly inputs a wrong addressee or incorrect address information supplied by the customer.
• Unclaimed – Parcels left in local customs & post office & were not claimed during the allotted time.

Upon receiving returned/refused packages, we can attempt to resend the package; however, the customer will need to pay additional shipping costs, we cannot recover the shipping charges on returned/refused packages. Keep in mind, for international shipments, it can take up to 6 weeks for returned/refused packages to be returned to sender. When the carrier returns an undeliverable package to us, we will reach out to arrange a second shipment or issue a refund for the item(s) minus any return fees & shipping charges.

Please note: Orders returned to sender by the recipient’s refusal are considered an unauthorised return & may be subject to a restocking fee. Postage costs on returned orders are non-refundable.

Until a package has been returned to us or officially declared lost, we are unable to reship or refund the order.

Lost in transit claims

We kindly request that you check your tracking for an update from the local postal service; the delivery offices will have the most up-to-date information via the tracking reference. They will advise on what to do next.

Please make sure to check your surrounding area & with your neighbours. If you cannot locate your parcel, please get in touch with us so we can start an investigation with the courier concerning your missing parcel. Depending on the courier, you may be required to complete a DNOR declaration to process the claim. Investigations can take up to 10 business days to conclude.

Any domestic orders reported missing must be disputed within 10 days from the shipment date. International orders reported lost must be reported within 28 days from the shipment date. Any requests made outside of this timeframe have no guaranteed resolution.

Please note: If the courier or postal service attempts to deliver the parcel once a refund has been processed, you are required to either refuse the package – it will then be returned to us. Or contact us to arrange the return – This is a legal requirement for refunded/cancelled orders; the legal obligation is to take reasonable steps to keep the items in good condition while they are in your possession.

Until a missing package has been returned to us or officially declared lost, we are unable to reship or refund the order.

Designated Safe Space

Your chosen Safeplace should be with a neighbour or a secure, weatherproof area of the property that is out of sight & easily accessible for the postal worker. A Safeplace may be selected via your courier using your tracking reference. Claims made for lost, damaged or stolen parcels where a safe space has been requested by the addressee may be rejected.

Who pays custom fees?

Customs fees are levied by the government of the country in which the goods are shipped. As is industry standard, all custom/import fees are the customer’s responsibility. We recommend checking your country’s customs charges & threshold prior to ordering to avoid disappointment.

If you refuse to pay the charges levied by customs & excise, or the delivery is unsuccessful & the goods are returned to us. You may be liable for the return shipping fees; these will be deducted from any refund due.

We cannot assist with fees or charges related to importing of goods, & therefore are unable to support refunds of any duties or tax paid by you. Please get in touch with your local tax office for assistance.

Product & Stock

Restock

All available merch & sizes are available on the Website. Restocks occasionally happen if the artist decides demand is there. We recommend checking the social media pages; news & updates on products will be posted there first.

Size Charts

The size charts are on the listings; the link is just above the “select size” box. If you have found a product without a size chart, please get in touch with our customer service team with the product link.

Signed Merchandise

Signed copies are always very limited, which means we cannot honour special requests, personalised messages, or replacement signed sleeves.

The practice of signing means the artist(s) will open, handle & lean on the product to enable signing. This may result in small bends or creases. Sleeves on signed items will not be in perfect, untouched condition. If the condition of the sleeve is particularly important to you, we recommend purchasing an unsigned copy.

Vinyl & Cassette Colours / Designs

Colours & specific design placement may not be exactly as shown on the mock-up. Some variation in pattern & colours will occur during the manufacturing process. Marble effects vary between individual pieces & sizes; therefore, the manufacturer cannot guarantee an identical design for each article.

Marbled records are unique & no guarantees can be given about the final result: the requested colour mix may deviate from the desired result. Every record will be a unique pressing 🙂

Products Images

Despite every effort to provide accurate images of each product’s colour & design, actual colours and design may vary slightly due to different device screen settings. Final placements & colours may vary slightly in production.

Print on demand

Please allow 3-5 business days for production plus shipping time. Please allow some extra time for order processing during busier times of the year or during sale events.

Digital Download & Live Streams

A digital product, such as a download or streaming, cannot be returned
