Tracking Update

We’re aware of an issue affecting some orders viewed through the Shop app, where incorrect tracking information (often showing DHL) may appear.

Please don’t worry if you see this. We do not use DHL for these orders, and the tracking shown in the Shop app is not connected to your parcel.

For the most accurate tracking updates, please use the Track Your Order page on our website with your order number and email address. This will always display the correct tracking information for your order.

As a reminder, our standard delivery time is 7–14 working days from dispatch, so if the Shop app suggests your order has been delivered or will arrive within a couple of days, you can safely disregard this.

We’re currently looking into the issue with the Shop app, but in the meantime, our website remains the most accurate place to track your order.

Thank you for your understanding.

Please check your inbox and junk/spam folders for any order updates before contacting us, as emails can occasionally be filtered automatically. If you have checked these folders and still cannot locate the update, please get in touch and we can reissue it to you.
