CHRISTMAS FAQ'S

We offer two delivery services via Royal Mail. You can select your preferred method at checkout.

UK Standard costs £5.95 (unless you spend £85 or more, in which case delivery is free*) and UK Express costs £8.95.

The cut-off time for placing an order with UK Express delivery is 12pm on a standard weekday (excluding weekends or Bank Holidays), after this time your order will be dispatched on the next working day.

It’s not currently possible for you to collect your order from a Busby & Fox store.

*This may change from time to time in line with ad hoc promotions.

Orders placed with the UK Standard are sent using the Royal Mail Tracked 48 service and usually arrive within four working days.

UK Express deliveries are sent using the Royal Mail Tracked Express service and aim to arrive one working day after you've placed your order, provided you order before midday, Monday to Friday. Orders placed after 12pm on weekdays – or on a Saturday, Sunday or Bank Holiday – will be dispatched the following working day, so should be delivered on the second or third working day after the order is placed. Please note that our express service is not a guaranteed next-day delivery service.

Please note that all advertised delivery times are for guidance only. During busy periods of the year (in particular, peak Christmas shopping periods), Royal Mail services may be subject to delays beyond our control. Due to Royal Mail industrial action, there may also be additional delays outside of our control.

All orders placed before the last order dates should arrive before Christmas; however, please note that there may be unforeseen postal delays outside of our control. To ensure you receive your items on a specific date, we recommend ordering as soon as possible.

If you need your order urgently, we recommend using our UK Express service at checkout, as these orders will be dispatched first using our quickest delivery service.

UK Standard:
Midday, Thursday 18th December

UK Express:
11am, Friday 19th December

Orders received after these cut-off times will be dispatched as soon as possible, but Royal Mail advises they may not arrive before Christmas. Our delivery times are estimates, so we recommend ordering as early as possible.

Please note that no orders will be dispatched between 24th and 28th December.
Normal delivery times will resume on January 2nd.

If your order hasn't arrived within the anticipated timeframe, you can use the tracking code provided in your dispatch confirmation email to check Royal Mail for live updates or arrange a redelivery if required. If you require additional assistance, please contact us at hello@busbyandfox.com and include your name and order reference number in your message.

Please be aware that during busy times of year (in particular the peak Christmas shopping period), Royal Mail services may be subject to delays beyond our control.

Orders are hand-wrapped in tissue paper (made from 100% recyclable, high-recycled, chlorine-free pulp) and packed inside a brown paper mailing bag or a brown cardboard box (both 100% recyclable), sealed with branded masking tape.

Our tissue paper, mailing bags, cardboard boxes, and branded tape can all be recycled.

If you are ordering delicate or breakable items, your order may also include extra packaging inside the mailing bag to keep these items safe.

Gift wrap is unavailable at this time.

Orders are dispatched with a packing list which states the delivery name and address, the billing name and address, and the name and size/colour of the products included in the order. This packing list does not include any price information; however, items will be sent with price tags attached.

If you’re shopping for someone else, your name and address will appear under the billing details (which means it’s nice and easy for them to determine who the gift is from), and your recipient’s name and address will appear under the delivery details.

Gift Cards are available for purchase in all Busby & Fox stores, and E-Gift cards can be purchased via busbyandfox.com.

Gift Cards can be used to purchase goods online or at any Busby & Fox store.
The balance will be valid for 12 months from the date of purchase.
Gift cards that aren't registered to a name and email address cannot be replaced if lost.

Gift Cards and E-Gift Cards can be used both in store and online.

Any gift card balance must be redeemed within 12 months from the date on which the card was originally bought (this date will be marked on the card itself or on your invoice at the time of purchase). Any balance not spent on or before the date of expiry will be forfeited.
