In order to ensure an item is in stock we recommend phoning our customer services to check 01885 448118. In some circumstances we may be out of stock at the time of dispatch and we will notify you accordingly

If you place an order and the item is out of stock we shall of course keep you informed.

You warrant the personal information which you are required to provide as a customer is true, accurate, current and complete in all respects. You agree not to impersonate any other person or entity or to use a false name, or a name that you are not authorized to use.

- Make sure there are no spaces in the credit card number
- Check you have entered the correct expiry date
- Ensure you have entered the 3 digit card security code from the back of your card (Amex users this is the four digit number on the front)

If you are still experiencing problems please call us and we can take the details and process the order manually.

It is possible we may have to contact you once you have completed your order online as we have secondary anti-fraud measures in place, which will flag up anything unusual with the payment details (e.g. incorrect postcode etc.) We appreciate whilst this can be frustrating it is paramount in reducing online fraud, thus benefiting both parties.

We shall contact you by email outlining the problem and requesting that you contact us so your order can be processed.

We shall always include your order number upon contacting you, so you know this is not a "phishing" email.

2.5. General

Your order is an offer to buy from us, nothing we do or say will amount to any acceptance of that offer, until we actually dispatch an item to you, at which point a contract will be made between us. At any point until then we may decline to supply an item to you, upon which we shall contact you and advise you.

We shall take all reasonable care so far as it is in our power to do so, to keep the details of your order and payment secure, but in the absence of negligence on our part we cannot be held liable for any loss you may suffer, if a third party procures unauthorized access to any data you provide when contacting us. 

Non-acceptance of an order may be a result of one of the following:
- The product you ordered being out of stock
- We are unable to obtain authorisation of your payment
- The identification of a pricing or description error

However we are not obliged to give a reason for declining an order.

Please note that all payments are handled by thelittleblueowl.co.uk and “thelittleblueowl” will appear on any bank statements.

3.7 International Deliveries*

International shipping costs are provided as an estimate only, In the majority of cases the price illustrated below is correct. However, due to some destinations and the weight of some goods, this may vary - in this instance we shall contact you with a quote prior to dispatch.

The prices quoted on our website include VAT at the current rate. If the order is being dispatched to a non-E.C. country then the VAT can be deducted, the checkout will automatically calculate the total according to the destination. Responsibility for local taxes and duties on orders sent VAT free, lie with you the customer.

The international shipping costs are calculated according to the value and destination of your goods and will be calculated at the final checkout (see delivery for costs).

* We reserve the right to quote a higher delivery charge for orders containing unusually bulky or heavy items.

3.8 Short delivered/damaged goods

Notification of goods short delivered or damaged in transit must be received by us in writing within 3 days of delivery. Failure to comply with these instructions may invalidate subsequent claims.

3.9 Part Orders

Should we be unable to fulfill all of your order, we shall dispatch items currently available and the balance of your order will follow as soon as stock has been received. 

Only one delivery charge is applicable for part orders - we shall only debit your card for items actually dispatched. If you would prefer to receive all items in one delivery please notify us at the time of placing your order. In exceptional circumstances there may be times when we are unable to fulfill your backorders i.e. if a supplier withdraws a product without prior notification. In this situation the goods already received are only eligible for a refund if unused and returned in a saleable condition as stated in our returns policy. 

We cannot guarantee to fulfill backorders although we very rarely experience such problems.

3.10 Gift Wrapping Service £3.50

If you would like your order gift-wrapped and a hand-written tag attached it is no problem.... simply select this option at the Checkout. 

Please be advised; During the Christmas period we aim to achieve standard delivery within 5 days. However, if you have requested our gift-wrapping service this may extend to 7-10 working days. We shall of course endeavour to deliver your goods as soon as possible.

All items in each order will be gift wrapped in one parcel. Alternatively if you would like items individually gift wrapped please contact customer services on 01885 448118.

If you return the item(s) the cost of the gift wrapping service is non refundable.

We do not pre-screen messages, but may monitor content from time to time for the purpose of guarding against unlawful or inappropriate gift messages and we have the right to refuse to send gift messages. In this instance your item will be just gift wrapped.

4. Returns

We hope that any product that is purchased through the webury.com group will meet your expectations. However, should you wish to return an item then we offer a refund or an exchange service.

- We do ask that all products are returned to us within 14 days of receipt, in a saleable condition.
- You are required to take reasonable care of items. 
- All returns must be in their original condition with the labels attached and in the original packaging. (Goods which are not returned in a saleable condition may be refused a refund or exchange or may incur a handling/cleaning fee. Some of our items pick up dust/fluff/pet hair very easily - please ensure they are kept and folded in a clean environment).

Please fill in the returns form and enclose it with your parcel - the returns form will have been attached to your invoice or dispatch note. If this has been mislaid a copy can be downloaded from here

We do not offer a free returns service. Depending on the weight of the package Royal Mail Special Delivery is often the best method as this gives insurance and a proof of posting. However, if your parcel is heavy this can be expensive and the Royal Mail Standard Parcel method offers a similar service, however it takes slightly longer.

We regret we cannot be responsible for returned goods, which are lost or damaged in transit, therefore please return the goods using a method which records delivery and provides insurance.

Items to be exchanged will be subject to an additional delivery charge (£3.95, £5 or £7.50 depending on the level of service required).

Upon receipt of the goods we shall email you within 24hrs to advise you of this.

4.1 Faulty Items

Some but not all items are sold with a 12 months warranty, if you have any problems with your purchase we can offer help and assistance. 

Please contact us prior to returning any faulty goods. We may ask you to initially provide images of the fault via email. In most instances it will be necessary for the goods to be returned to us for inspection, and in some cases we shall have to forward these onto the supplier. Please allow up to 28 days for an outcome, although we endeavour to do this as quickly as possible. If the goods are found to be faulty, the cost of the return postage will be refunded to you, and you will be offered a replacement or a refund. If a fault is thought to be caused by misuse or negligence or it occurs outside the warranty period, the item will be returned and a charge may be payable to us Please ensure all returned items are in a clean condition, we are unable to accept any soiled goods.

In no circumstances will a replacement item be sent out, until the goods have been received by us and inspected.

We are unable to offer a repair service for any of our products.

4.2 Promotion/Offers Return

If you received a free product or a promotional offer with your order, and this order then needs to be returned for a refund, or is to be exchanged for a different product, we would require the free item / offer to be returned to us also. 

If you wish to keep the promotional item, and return only the purchased item, we would require payment to be made for the promotional item at the published RRP; likewise if an item is forgotten and is not included in the returns parcel you will only be refunded for the cost of your purchase less the cost of the promotion. 

If your order comes with a free product automatically and you do not wish to receive the complimentary product, please outline this in the "shipping instructions" option at the checkout.

If you are at all unsure, please do not hesitate to contact us on 01885 448118.

4.3 Returning for a Refund

Once we have received and inspected the returned item we shall then proceed with the refund. Refunds can only be made to the original card of purchase. If the card has expired we shall need to contact you to obtain the updated information. 

If the order was dispatched to a third party by us, the recipient will only be eligible for an exchange or credit note. The purchaser is entitled to a refund and will have to confirm they are in agreement with this. 

Please allow up to 10 days for this to be shown on your statement.

4.4 Returning for an Exchange

For security reasons we do not keep payment details once an order has been processed and dispatched. A repeat postage charge is applicable to all exchanges; please either enclose a cheque (made payable to webury.com) for postage costs £3.95 standard delivery, £5 carrier delivery or £7.50 for next day delivery or we can contact you to gain card details, however if it is more convenient then please contact us on freephone 01885 448118.
