The safety and wellbeing of both our staff and customers is extremely important to us. 

Strictly adhering to government guidelines, we have clear social distancing measures around our premises and keep fully up to date with new developments.  Our gift boxes are carefully packed in advance and follow a stock circulation pattern.

As to be expected under the current circumstances, our courier is most likely to leave your package at your door once answered and take a few steps back to facilitate a contact-free delivery.

We will ship your OohBox for FREE using DPD or Fedex.  For any out of area addresses including Highlands and Islands there are two options, either Royal Mail 1st class signed for at £6.50 or if you want full tracking and visibility on your delivery you can upgrade to DPD at a cost of £12.

*Exclusions apply.  For Northern Ireland, Isle of Man, Scilly Isles, Highlands and Islands there is a delivery surcharge please ensure that you tick the relevant box at checkout if you are from any of these areas.  Deliveries to these areas may take slightly longer, but usually within 72 hours.

Do you ship orders internationally?

Unfortunately not.Orders can be sent to addresses in the UK only.

What is your deadline for Next Day delivery?

As we are a small team we cannot always guarantee next day delivery, however if your order is placed before 12 noon (weekdays) we will do our utmost to get your OohBox delivered next day.  For addresses in remote or offshore areas delivery will be on a 48 hour service.

Can I choose a specific time for my delivery?

Unfortunately we cannot guarantee a time however our courier will send you a notification in the morning of the day of delivery advising a delivery window, which is usually within 2 hours.This service is not available for items sent using Royal Mail.

Will there be tracking on my order?

Yes. When we despatch your order, you will receive a confirmation containing a tracking reference, allowing you to follow its journey.

What will happen if I’m not home for delivery?

Usually our courier will attempt to deliver to a neighbour or alternatively, they will re-attempt delivery the next working day.  Please be aware that re-attempts are limited so it is advisable that you provide a suitable delivery address where there is somebody available to receive your parcel. 

For OohBoxes delivered by post you will receive a card if you are not home to sign.  This will instruct you on how and where you can retrieve your giftbox.  Gift boxes not collected from the Royal Mail will be returned to us.

Any boxes returned to us will be refunded.  For any boxes returned due to failed delivery such as inaccessibility or no-one to receive then the refund will be for the price of the giftbox only, the cost of delivery will not be refunded. If you still wish to receive the OohBox you will need to reorder. 

I haven’t received my parcel! What do I do now?

Remember you can keep any eye on the progress of your parcel through the network by clicking on the tracking link we send you.  Please remember that as above, on the occasion that our courier can’t deliver your parcel a re-attempt will be made.
