ALL ORDERS WILL BE SHIPPED WITHIN 7 DAYS OF YOUR ORIGINAL ORDER DATE. PLEASE ALLOW UP TO 10 DAYS FOR DELIVERY WITHIN THE UK AND UP TO 14 DAYS WITHIN EUROPE AND THE REST OF THE WORLD. IN SOME RARE CASES YOU WILL RECEIVE AN EMAIL IF THIS TIME STRUCTURE CHANGES. AS A WORKING PHOTOGRAPHER I TRY MY HARDEST TO MAKE SURE I CAN HAVE YOUR PRINTS SENT ON TIME, BUT PLEASE BARE IN MIND THIS IS NOT A FULLY OPERATIONAL ONLINE STORE WITH SEVERAL MEMBERS OF STAFF. IF ANYTHING CONCERNS YOU, PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I WILL ALWAYS REPLY.
WHICH COUNTRIES DO YOU SHIP TO?
I SHIP TO ALL MAJOR COUNTRIES AND INTERNATIONAL CITIES. IF YOU HAVE A QUERY OR CONCERN, PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I'LL BE HAPPY TO HELP.
WHO DO YOU SEND YOUR PARCELS WITH?
FOR STANDARD UK DELIVERIES I USE ROYAL MAIL'S SPECIAL DELIVERY SERVICE, WHICH TAKES ROUGHLY 1-2 DAYS FOR DELIVERY (ONCE SHIPPED) AND INCLUDES INSURANCE. ROYAL MAIL WILL DELIVER MONDAY TO SATURDAY AND BEFORE 1PM, BUT THAT EXCLUDES ANY UK BANK HOLIDAYS. I SEND ALL WORLDWIDE SHIPMENTS WITH ROYAL MAIL INTERNATIONAL SIGNED FOR SERVICE WHICH IS SECURE, FAST AND INSURED. A SIGNATURE WILL BE REQUIRED BEFORE RECEIVING YOUR PARCEL LOCALLY OR INTERNATIONALLY.
HOW DO I TRACK MY ORDER?
ONCE YOUR ORDER HAS SHIPPED I WILL SUPPLY YOU WITH A TRACKING NUMBER VIA YOUR PROVIDED EMAIL. YOU CAN USE THAT TRACKING NUMBER TO CHECK ON THE STATUS OF YOUR SHIPMENT. HERE IS THE LINK TO THE TRACKING SITE: ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY.

STANDARD DELIVERIES SENT WITH ROYAL MAIL SPECIAL DELIVERY ARE USUALLY MADE WITHIN 1-2 BUSINESS DAYS OF YOUR ORDER BEING DESPATCHED, HOWEVER REMOTE AREAS MAY TAKE SLIGHTLY LONGER. INTERNATIONAL ORDERS ARE USUALLY RECEIVED WITHIN 4-5 BUSINESS DAYS OF YOUR ORDER BEING DESPATCHED, HOWEVER THESE TIMES MAY VARY DUE TO YOUR LOCATION.

FOR MORE DETAILED INFORMATION ON DELIVERY TIMES, OR SHOULD YOUR ORDER BE URGENT, PLEASE EMAIL ME.
DO I HAVE TO SIGN FOR THE PARCEL?
ALL ORDERS WILL REQUIRE A SIGNATURE. IF YOU ARE NOT IN TO SIGN FOR YOUR ORDER THE COURIER WILL LEAVE A CALLING CARD WITH INFORMATION ON HOW TO RE-ARRANGE DELIVERY OR COLLECT YOUR PARCEL IN PERSON. IF THE GOODS ARE NOT COLLECTED AND THEY ARE RETURNED TO ME, I CAN ARRANGE TO RE-SEND THEM BUT THERE WILL BE A CHARGE FOR THIS.
MY GOODS HAVEN’T BEEN SHIPPED YET, WHAT'S GOING ON?
AS A WORKING PHOTOGRAPHER I CANNOT ALWAYS SEND YOUR PRINT(S) AS SOON AS YOUR ORDER IS MADE DUE TO ANY NUMBER OF DIFFERENT CIRCUMSTANCES. I ENDEAVOUR TO SEND PRINTS WITHIN A MAXIMUM OF 7 WORKING DAYS. PLEASE CHECK YOUR SPAM AND JUNK MAIL FOLDERS INCASE ANY CORRESPONDENCE MAY HAVE BEEN MISSED. IF YOU ARE STILL UNSURE ON THE STATUS OF YOUR ORDER PLEASE EMAIL ME AND I'LL ALWAYS BE HAPPY TO HELP.
