Shipping & Delivery

 

How much is postage?

Postage will vary dependant on country and order total.

Standard UK shipping is free for club members. Please be logged in to your account when checking out and FREE shipping will occur automatically.  Unfortunately, we can’t issue a credit note or refund if you didn’t sign into your account before placing your order.

If you are not a member, postage is FREE for orders over £25 within the UK. If your order is under £25, we charge a flat rate of £4.95 within the UK.

​

International shipping

We ship worldwide. Please note that the shipping costs to each country vary & we will contact you after purchase to organise shipping cost.

Please note that all import duties, taxes & charges are unable to be included in the item and are therefore the buyer’s responsibility.

 

How long will my order take to arrive?

We provide same-day despatch on orders placed before 10am each weekday. We use couriers dependant on location. Delivery is normally within 1 – 3 days.

Please note that during holiday seasons orders may be delayed by a day or so.

 

Can I have my order Express Posted?

You can select the Express Post option at our check-out, which includes Saturday delivery but this does not guarantee next day delivery. Unfortunately, we can not refund the postage cost to you if delivery does not occur next day although most of our parcels do arrive next day when using the next day delivery service.

​

Can I request my parcel be left unattended?

Our couriers will require you to sign for your delivery by default. However, if you would prefer to have your package left in a safe place you can place a note on the checkout page and write  ATL (Authority To Leave) option at checkout. You can also add further delivery instructions or where you would prefer it to be left and this will be given to the courier.

Any packages which are requested ATL can not be replaced if they go missing, so this option is at your own risk.

I entered the wrong delivery address

Please contact us by email as soon as possible. If we can we will endeavour to change the delivery address. If it has already been despatched by our despatch team we won’t be able to change it. We require signature on all of our parcels so it should be returned to depot and there will be the £5 fee to have the items re-sent to your correct address.

​

Return to sender fee & re-postage fee

As part of our service, we will happily cover the cost of the return to sender fee, however, the cost to have the package resent will be £5.

​

My package seems to be lost or stuck ‘in transit’?

If your package is showing ‘in transit’ for over a week please let us know so we can chase the courier company and lodge an investigation with the courier.

If the package was delayed because of an incorrect or incomplete address, the item will probably get returned to our warehouse. To have this package resent to the correct address, even if you are a member, there will be a £5 postage fee.

I requested ‘Authority to Leave’ but my delivery wasn’t left.

Even if you give ‘Authority to Leave’ by ticking the box at checkout the courier makes the final decision of whether to leave the parcel. If you have requested ‘ATL’ and your parcel has not been left please contact the courier or local post office to discuss this.

 

Combining orders & refund shipping

If you contact us asap we will endeavour to change your order for you if your parcel has not left the warehouse. However, once an order has been processed through our system, we are unable to make any changes or provide shipping refunds. But we do offer free shipping for our members so you can create a new order!

​

When will my order get despatched?

Can I change my order?

We despatch our packages the same day so unfortunately we can’t add or change your order after it has been submitted because it will delay. All orders are sent to despatch and packed as soon as they are placed to make sure it arrives with you as soon as possible. If you change your mind on a purchase you can return the goods within 7 days however we can not pay for your return postage costs in this case. We offer free postage within the UK if you are a club member so feel free to place another order.

Out of stock

We order stock daily so if there is any delay in the return of any stock it is most likely that the supplier is also out of stock. We will be back in stock as soon as the product is available to us. If the item is available from another merchant it could be old stock, as such we would advise waiting for it to return to stock on out site, or emailing us to see if we know how long the wait will be. Sometimes we allow purchase on back order too!

 

My pump isn’t working!?

Many pumps used in natural products are ‘air pumps’ which means that they do not contain the plastic tubes like other products and use air suction technology instead. Sometimes air gets trapped causing air pockets – a tap on a hard surface followed by a few pumps should make the product flow.

​

Ingredients 

​

Where do your products come from?

Our products come from various countries across the world including UK, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, Canada and America and most of which are certified: natural, organic, food grade and biodynamic. We believe our knowledge in toxic and harmful chemicals makes us able to provide you with only the best natural organic and pure products. This we believe that we are the most scrupulous online health and beauty store because of what products we will and won’t allow in our store in the UK.
