DELIVERY & RETURNS
DELIVERY ~ the exciting bit…
Thank you for placing an order or checking things through before committing to buying from us, we really appreciate your custom and time. As this is a delivery for a very important little one, we will lovingly pick and inspect the toy before preparing it for dispatch. All orders will have the box carefully lined in our beautiful, branded tissue paper and sealed with a little logoed sticker. You’ll also find a short hand-written ‘Thank You’ card inside from myself and my son for supporting our family business. We also use recycled packaging where at all possible – just doing our bit for the environment.
How much is delivery?
• We offer FREE delivery on all orders £100 and more.
• For orders less than £100, then a £3.95 delivery charge will be added to your bill.
