• When will an item be back in stock?

  We receive regular deliveries and most items are usually back in stock within two weeks. Our Customer Care team can't give you a specific date for when an item will be available again, so please keep checking on the site.

  If the item was saved in your basket and is now out of stock it will be removed and you'll see a message to let you know. If any items become out of stock as you are placing your order the item will be removed and you'll be returned to your basket.

  For items marked 'Sold out' we will not be receiving any further stock.

  • Remove all packaging to confirm the item isn't hidden. Some orders may contain a cardboard wedge that products will be underneath
