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 three working days.

UK Express deliveries are sent using the Royal Mail Tracked Express service and aim to arrive one working days after you've placed your order provided you order before midday, Monday to Friday. Orders placed after 12pm on weekday – 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 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 subjects 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 there may be unforeseen postal delays outside of our control. To guarantee you have yours items for 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:
Midnight, Wednesday 18th December

UK Express:
11am, Friday 20th 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 an estimate so we always recommend ordering as early as possible.

Please note that no orders will be dispatched between 25th-30th December.
Normal delivery times will resume on January 2nd.

If you 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 need further help, please drop us a line at hello@busbyandfox.com and include your name and order reference number in the 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 (100% recyclable and made using a high recycled, chlorine-free pulp), packed inside a brown paper mailing bag or brown cardboard box (both 100% recyclable) and sealed with branded masking tape.

Our tissue paper, mailing bags and cardboard boxes as well as our 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.
