How long will my order take?
Please allow up to five working days for orders to be processed and delivered (unless you are ordering via our UK express delivery option). At peak delivery times such as Christmas or Easter normal deliveries may incur delays and we would advise that orders placed for any special occasions are made in good time. Deliveries are made normally Monday to Friday, excluding Public Holidays. If there is no one in to receive the parcel then the carrier will follow any delivery instructions given by the sender ie “Leave with neighbour”. Where gifts cannot be delivered they will be returned to the local delivery depot - either a Royal Mail depot or a depot operated by our couriers. In both instances a card will be left at the recipient address notifying the occupier that a delivery was attempted. Collection details and/or options for a redelivery at a convenient other time will be provided on the card. Gifts that cannot be delivered (incorrect addresses, ‘gone-aways’, no response from recipient following delivery attempt etc) will be returned to our offices after two weeks. At this point we will notify the sender that the gift has not been delivered. If you think your recipient may not be at home to receive their gift it may be a good idea to send your gift to the recipient’s place of work. Please allow up to 20 days for delivery to destinations outside of the UK. We aim to ship out your order within 3 days of purchase. It is our policy to despatch items ordered in the shortest possible time, but we cannot be held responsible for any delays or damages occurred while in transit.

I haven't recieved my order?
All of our deliveries in the UK are sent via recorded delivery - so that we are aware when you have recieved your order. If you have not got your order within 7 days of purchase please get in touch with us and let us know and we will try our best to resolve the issue: hellothere@ellbie.co

All deliveries outside of the UK are sent via Royal Mail Airmail, unfortunately we are unable to provide tracking codes once these items leave the UK. We can only guarantee the item will be shipped to your country from the UK. After that - it is down to the postal service within your country to deliver items on time. Ellbie Co. Cannot be held responsible for this. Please allow up to 18 days for delivery to destinations outside of the UK.

My order arrived damaged?
Whilst we make every effort to ensure that our products are packaged correctly and in protective packaging.
Unfortunately once goods leave Ellbie Co. We cannot be held responsible for any damage that occurs during shipping as this is the couriers/delivery companies responsibility. If the interior of your kit is damaged then we will be able to provide you with a refund via our returns policy. However if damage has been caused by means outside of our control - then we will be unable to offer a refund in this case.
