Once your order has been marked as delivered by the chosen courier, and detailed as such via the tracking information provided, you would need to contact the courier directly if you believe this not to be the case with the tracking number provided on your dispatch email to file a stolen mail claim, as we cannot accept responsibility once any order has been marked as delivered/received.

In the event of an order being returned to us due to the incorrect address being used on the order, delivery attempted or uncollected and returned to us the postage fee would be required to be repaid for the order to be reshipped by us on return from the courier. Returns items are not eligible for refunds.
