Delivery & Returns

Delivery policy​

We offer free standard delivery to all orders over £50. All of our orders are despatched using a 48 hour tracking service, as standard. We do, also offer a 24 hour option, should you wish to receive your items earlier.

We process all our orders between Monday and Friday. Orders placed before 3pm, Monday to Friday, will be sent the day the order is placed, providing that payment is authorised. Orders placed after this time will be processed the following working day.

Our delivery charges start at £4.95 for a standard delivery service to mainland UK addresses. Delivery to non mainland UK destinations is available, at a cost of £9.95. Non-mainland destinations are classed as N. Ireland, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Isle of Man, Channel Islands and the Isle of Scilly. This service will take between 2-4 days and customs clearance may be required to some destinations. Please contact us at sales@woodbeenice.co.uk if you have any questions regarding these services.

The option to select a 24 hour shipment only applies Monday to Thursday and is not applicable after 3pm on Thursday. Our 24 hour service is only available to mainland UK destinations. Saturday deliveries are not included in this selection and should you select this option, you parcel will be delivered on the following Monday provided there is not a Bank Holiday.

We are able to offer Saturday delivery, at a cost of £20.95. The latest that that this service can be booked is 3pm on a Friday. You can select this service at anytime, but it is not a timed delivery service.

We will arrange for the products to be delivered to the address which you indicate at the time of placing an order. If you wish to amend this, please contact us at sales@woodbeenice.co.uk and we will make the changes provided your order has not already been despatched.

We will ensure, wherever possible, that we deliver within the timescale set out in our order confirmation. Whilst we will always do our best to adhere to this, it cannot be guaranteed, as the carriers that we use do not guarantee their services but work tirelessly to achieve the best outcome. Once the order is dispatched, an email will be sent to you to the address provided, advising you of the tracking information as appropriate.

To make a claim for an undelivered parcel, we will email a form to you, which needs to be completed within 24 hours of receipt, which is part of our claims process and is fundamental is enabling us to make a claim from the courier.

As soon as our courier accepts receipt of all the required documentation, we will issue a full refund, provided that it fails within the time to claim.
