When will an item be back in stock?
We receive regular deliveries and most items are usually back in stock within two weeks. Our Customer Care team can't give you a specific date for when an item will be available again, so please keep checking on the site.
If the item was saved in your basket and is now out of stock it will be removed and you'll see a message to let you know. If any items become out of stock as you are placing your order the item will be removed and you'll be returned to your basket.
For items marked 'Sold out' we will not be receiving any further stock.
I haven't received all of my order
Check the confirmation e-mail to see if all items were ordered
Check the despatch email to see if items have been cancelled. Occasionally when we pack an order some of the items may not be available. We don't want to delay the rest of your order so we cancel the out of stock item and despatch the rest. We?ll send you an email to update you. The paperwork for your order will show everything included and we only charge you for the items we send but you will earn all of the Advantage points we promised
Check the paperwork included in your parcel as your order may be despatched in more than one parcel and arrive at different times (orders containing items despatched direct from the supplier for example)
The despatch email and 'My orders' area of 'My Account' section of the website will also show the number of parcels sent
Remove all packaging to confirm the item isn't hidden. Some orders may contain a cardboard wedge that products will be underneath
However, if the item is definitely missing contact our Customer Care team. Please see the ' Contact us' section of the site for more details
Where is my order?
Check your order confirmation email for the expected delivery date
We'll send you another email when we despatch your order.

If you can't access your email you can see these details in the 'My orders' area of 'My Account' section
If you miss the carrier's attempt to deliver, don't worry, you can rearrange delivery for another date by calling the number shown on the card
If your order is being delivered to store you'll receive an email when it is available for collection. You'll also receive a text if you provided us with a mobile number
