What happens if my order is lost or damaged?
We recommend choosing shipping insurance on all forms of delivery. This will allow you to be compensated if there is any direct loss or damage arising out of the misdelivery, delayed delivery or failure to deliver the order, or any damage to the goods in delivery. If shipping insurance is not chosen, we will not be liable under any circumstances for any loss or damage, whether direct or consequential, arising from events beyond our control.
