Bear in mind that parcels are dispatched early afternoon and so we cannot guarantee same-day dispatch on orders coming in after midday.
Although stock levels shown on the website are usually up to date there may be times when they are not. If items are out of stock we will let you know by email as soon as possible after your order has been placed.
Channel Island customers - most orders can be sent according to standard UK postage rates however larger/heavier items (sent via courier) may levy a higher postage rate. Please contact us for further information.
European & worldwide delivery - we do not currently ship outside of the UK.
Eco packaging: To reduce our use of plastics orders are sent out in paper mailing bags or boxes. We do occasionally re-use packaging which we ourselves receive - this includes bubble wrap (we'd much prefer to keep this in use rather then just sending it straight to landfill).
Delivery
When will my order be sent out?
As long as items are in stock, your order will be dispatched within 24 hours wherever possible.
If goods are not in stock we will contact you as soon as possible by email. You may choose to have the order sent out in more than one parcel, choose to swap the product or have a partial/full refund.
You can check on the status of your order by contacting us.
How will my order be sent out?
Parcels are sent out with either Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on the size of the item and the delivery option chosen.
You should receive your items within 2-3 days of ordering.
In a rush? If you wish to receive your order in a hurry select First Class at checkout. When this option is selected we will process your order ahead of other orders and, as long as we receive your order by midday, we will ensure that your order is sent out on the day with Royal Mail 1st Class or Special Delivery depending on the size of the parcel. There will be an extra charge for this. This does not cover Saturday or Sunday delivery. We cannot guarantee this during our holiday closures.
When you give a delivery address please consider whether you will be in to receive the parcel - it is sometimes worthwhile having the parcel delivered to your work address or that of a friend or neighbour.
Missing parcel?
If you do not receive your order within 7 days please contact us. In many cases missing parcels, sent by Royal Mail, will be found at your local sorting office. If you’re parcel does not arrive we would recommend that you give them a call.
Please note that during the Christmas period, Black Friday and strikes there are often delays as Royal Mail and other couriers struggle to cope with demand. There may also be delays during periods of severe weather.
If your order does not fit through the letterbox and there is no-one available at your specified delivery address to accept delivery, the driver will leave a card with instructions of how to obtain the parcel. Please then liaise directly with the carrier to arrange collection or re-delivery of the parcel.
In cases where courier cards have been left at your address, but parcels not collected, the parcel will be returned to us. In these cases you may be required to pay additional postage costs for the item to be resent. Please bear this in mind if you have holidays planned and won’t be available to receive your parcel.
(During the winter months please bear in mind that delivery times can be affected by the weather. During periods of snow, flooding etc delivery companies do their best to limit delays but delays are often inevitable.)
RETURNING YOUR ORDER
How do I return faulty goods?
Although we try to check all stock before being sent out, the occasional fault will go unnoticed and we will be happy to take back damaged or faulty goods, and refund your money including return postage costs. You must take responsibility for getting the goods back to us so we suggest getting a ’certificate of posting’ (free of charge) so that you can claim compensation from Royal Mail if the goods do not reach us.
Please send the faulty product to:
Lizzie’s Real Nappies
26 Sandileigh
Chester
CH2 3QP
Please be sure to include a note of what the problem is, as well as your name, address and original order number.
I’ve changed my mind. What do I do?
Goods can be returned, if unused, unwashed and in fully re-saleable condition, within 30 days of delivery. If you wish to return something beyond this time please contact us.
We will refund you the cost of the product but you must pay for the cost of returning the goods to us and postage and packing charges if applicable. We strongly suggest that you get a ’certificate of posting’ from your post office (free of charge) so that you can claim compensation from Royal Mail should the parcel not reach us.
If the goods have a retail value of more than £28.00 you will need to use a Royal Mail service that includes additional insurance to cover your goods should they go missing on route to us.
Please send all returns (including your name, address and invoice number) to:
