Delivery Options - Merly Impressions

Delivery - for the UK including Northern Ireland

For addresses in the UK (including Northern Ireland), when making a purchase you will be offered two delivery options:

1. Standard Delivery for £3.75. For smaller packages we will send your parcel by Royal Mail First Class while for larger packages (over 1kg in weight) we will use Royal Mail Second Class or Courier Delivery (we usually use Hermes).
2. Special Delivery (Guaranteed Next Day) by Royal Mail for £7.95. This option requires a signature on delivery and offers online tracking. Note that, for this option, parcels will only be delivered on weekdays (i.e. no deliveries on Saturdays, Sundays and Bank Holidays) and that, for the package to be guaranteed to arrive next day, it should be ordered before 11:00am. Note that for packages weighing over 2kg we may send your goods via a Courier on a similar next day, trackable, signed-for service.

For UK orders over £60 (excluding delivery charges) we offer free delivery. This will be automatically applied in the purchasing process. If you order is high value and eligable for free delivery then it may be shipped by Courier (often Hermes) since it is more secure.

We will do our best to ensure that all orders are dispatched within two working days of being placed (most orders placed before noon will be shipped on the same day). Larger packages that are sent via Courier sometimes take one extra to dispatch depending on Courier pickup times.

We find that the large majority of orders reach our customers within one or two days of dispatch. Note that we cannot be held responsible for the factors outside of our control (such as the failure of, or delays caused by, the postal service) - please allow 14 days before you contact us regarding a delayed package. Having said that, we find that the large majority of orders reach our customers within one or two days of dispatch.

Important Note - If you have received an email from us saying that your parcel has been shipped but you have not received it after about ten days, we would strongly advise that you contact your local sorting office to ask if it is there. We have heard of cases where a parcel had been held at a local Royal Mail sorting office, often because the R.M. had failed to post a card saying a parcel had arrived. In some cases parcels are delivered to a neighbour and in a few cases the parcel does arrive normally but after an inexplicable delay of several days (our experience is that this is becoming more common in recently months). 

All purchases are packed in either corrugated boxes or, for smaller products, jiffy or postal bags.
