Delivery times
Here's a rough idea of how long things take from checkout to your door:
- Order cut-off time: 4:00 PM (Irish time). Orders placed after this are processed the next business day, which may add an extra day to your delivery estimate.
- Order handling time: 1–2 business days, Monday to Friday. This is the time it takes us to pack your order and hand it over to the carrier.
- Transit time: 6–8 business days, Monday to Friday
- Estimated delivery time: 7–10 business days
 
These are estimates. Occasionally weather, customs or carrier delays can shift timings slightly, and we'll always do our best to keep you updated.
 
All prices, shipping costs and order totals are displayed and charged in euro (€).

Customs and import duties

Tracking your order
Once your order has been dispatched, we'll email you a tracking number so you can follow its journey. You can also check its status at any time on our Track your order page.

If something's not right, whether it's a delay, a missing parcel or anything else, contact us straight away. We'll look into it and make sure your order gets to you.
