The
information above is based on Royal Mail delivery
costs including VAT. If your ordered item/s has/have
a delivery time allowance in the item description,
please add this time to the delivery timescale
quoted above. If your item/s is/are marked out of
stock, please see below for delivery timescales.
Further shipping information can be found below and
on the FAQ.
The
information above is a guide only and does not
include allowance for industrial action including
but not limited to Royal Mail Strikes, Post Office
Strikes, or delays caused by severe weather
conditions, Power Cuts, Flooding or delays caused
by a situation in your area which we may not be
aware of. If you are in any doubt at all please ask
before purchasing. |
| Shipping
General: Please check item
descriptions for suggested delivery times. These are
often exaggerated delays to avoid customer
disappointment. Where no delivery time is suggested
this item should be available
immediately. Approximately 80% of orders are
fulfilled before their estimated delivery allowance
date. While we keep a general stock of all items
advertised but stock levels change daily. Parcels
are sent via Royal Mail. Please allow 1-2 days for
in-stock items to be picked and packed from
our storage facility and collected for delivery at
busy times unless express/special delivery is
arranged prior, this keeps costs down for our
customers! Our postage/shipping rates include VAT
and are highly competitive. Should the cost of
posting your order exceed what you have paid, we
will cover the extra cost ourselves. Shipping fees
are equated depending on the weight and size of your
order. If you require next day delivery which is not
automatically offered in the ordering process,
please contact us before ordering, we may be able to
provide you with this service. Please contact us
before mid-day if you require this service. This
service may incur a small additional fee depending
on the size of your order. This service is currently
only available to customers in the UK. |
| Free
Shipping: In most cases "allow 6-14
days for delivery" on the free shipping method is an
exaggeration to prevent customer disappointment.
Please see the free shipping information page for
more details. |
| Out of
Stock Items: If an item is out of stock
at the time of purchase, you will be notified and we
will send it as soon as possible. Because we are
committed to customer satisfaction, Dreamgirl
Shopping DOES NOT DROP-SHIP! When
your order contains just in-stock items,
the order will be shipped (possibly on the same
day!). We order out of stock items from the US on a
Monday (at Holiday/Seasonal times we order in from
the US on Mondays and Wednesdays). The average
delivery time for out of stock items is 10-14 days. |
| Seasonal
& Holiday Orders: Such as Christmas,
Halloween and Valentines are very busy and place a
high demand on our stock levels. Please bear this in
mind. We recommend allowing at least 10 - 14 days to
receive your order in time. Some manufacturers cease
making seasonal items before the holiday is over and
there will be an extensive delay in receiving
seasonal goods ordered if not done so early enough.
While this is beyond our control, we try to list
seasonal items as early as possible and encourage
our customers to order early or pre-order outside of
the season if buying in bulk (eg. dance/theatre
groups). |
