Sometimes we have to cancel orders. This can be due to a number of reasons, including:

• Stock availability: It is most likely that your size ran out of stock before we could process your order.
• Payment issues: Your payment did not go through or we were not able to verify your payment details.
• Delivery address issues: You may have accidently entered an incorrect or incomplete delivery address which we couldn’t process.
• If you have requested delivery outside the UK.

You don't need to have an account to place an order.

However, having an account can save you time during checkout as it securely saves your address for future purchases.

After receiving the shipping confirmation, it can take up to 24 hours before you can track your package online. This is because the shipping company has to scan the package before you can track it. It can take even longer if the shipment is made just before a weekend.

• You can track your order by following the link in your delivery confirmation.
• Log in with your access data and click on the corresponding order number in "Orders" to get details.

If you placed the order as a guest, please refer to the emails you received from us or contact customer service.
