About Delivery, Order Times, Delivery Costs & Shipping
 

 

 

back to the top

MAINLAND UK
Standard delivery starts from £2.95 within mainland UK. If the weight of your order exceeds 1kg the price rises to £3.95 and if your order exceeds 8kg the price will rise incrementally. Please add your products to the basket to get a total shipping price. Your order will be with you within 2 - 4 working days after the day you placed your order (providing you have ordered in stock items which are marked with a green tick). Eg. Place your order on Monday and it will be with you by Friday (we are sorry to say that sometimes during peak periods (ie Christmas, Valetines Day, Mother's Day, Father's Day) there can be a delay on the standard delivery. For this reason, at these times, we always recommend that you specify a next day delivery which is a guaranteed and trackable service.

Next day delivery
Starting from £5.95, we can send your order out for guaranteed delivery the next working day between 8am and 6pm. The price rises incrementally if the total weight of your order exceeds 8kg. Please add your products to the basket to get a total next day shipping price. For this service (which includes next day timed delivery eg next day before 9am), your order must be placed by 15.30 GMT on a normal working day (Mon-Fri). If you would like to do this - please select the 'Next Working Day' shipping option when you check out. This service is subject to the items being in stock (in stock items are marked with a green tick).
Eg. Place your order before 15.30 on Tuesday and your order will arrive on Wednesday or, if you place your order on Tuesday after 15.30, your order will be with you by Thursday.

Order Status
The current status of your order can be found by logging into your account. If you have not received your order within 5 working days of placing an order (please ensure you ordered in stock items showing a green tick), please call your local Royal Mail Sorting Depot and ask if they have a parcel for you. If they do not please call us.

What happens if you're out when the order is delivered?
You have every opportunity to send your order to whatever address you choose. We cannot arrange a specific time for delivery - this is out of our hands. Should delivery be attempted when you are out, the post office or courier company will leave a card. You can then call them to re-arrange delivery, or go to the depot to collect the parcel yourself. Both couriers and the post office return parcels to us if you have not collected them (or if the address you used is not correct) within about a week (please check with your local depot for accurate return times). If you have not collected the parcel in time and you ask us to send your order out again, there will be a £5 admin and postage charge to cover the costs involved and we will send out your order again once the original parcel has arrived back. Should you wish a replacement order to be sent out faster, you will need to pay in full for a new order plus the £5 charge and you will then be refunded for the old order when it is received back into our warehouse.

We process all purchase and member login transactions over our secure server using secure socket layer technology (SSL), to ensure that your account and order details are safe and secure.

In the database, passwords and credit cards are encrypted for storage using advanced crypto techniques and their details are kept in a separate section of the database from your account information.

To give you some idea of the level of protection this provides, it would take 4,000 programmers over a year to exhaust all 72 quadrillion decoding keys in order to crack one small phrase passed from your computer to our secure servers.

Thawte Certificate
We are Thawte certified. This certificate acts as our digital ID card and proves we are who we say we are. To obtain this certificate we have had to prove our identity, location and authenticity.

Lock & Key Symbol
To prove our transaction pages are secure, look in the bottom corner of your browser window for the locked padlock or key symbol. (You must be using Netscape 2.0+ or any version of Explorer to see these symbols)

Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment Regulation
 

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled.

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

Recycling reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Find Me A Gift are obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free take-back of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when you buy from us a new Electrical or Electronic product.

For example, if a customer bought a new EEE item from us we would accept their old WEEE item and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.

Please quote your order number when returning your WEEE item. If you have any questions, please call us on 01926 818 800

ABOUT LOYALTY POINTS & DISCOUNT
 
SAVING POINTS USING POINTS FREE POINTS

 

YOU GET 1 POINT FOR EVERY PENNY YOU SPEND
Whenever you purchase from us, your account will automatically be credited with one loyalty point for every penny you spend (excluding sale items). Your points are automatically turned into a percentage discount.

You can save up your points until they reach a maximum of 20% discount, or you can use your points as you go along, giving you smaller discounts off your orders.

Here's an example:
If you spend £24.99, you will get 2499 loyalty points. This would equate to a 2.5% discount. You can use this on your next order (excluding sale items), or choose to save the points so they can build up to make more discount.

Refunds & Returns
If you return any items, the points awarded for the purchase will be deducted from your account. If you have benefitted from this discount prior to the return of an item, the discount awarded will be deducted from your refund when it is processed.

back to the top

USING POINTS
When you place an order, you can see the current number of loyalty points that you have (and discount value) at the checkout. You can choose to 'spend' or 'save' these points on that order. If you save them, they will not be used and saved for another day. If you choose to use them, the discount will be taken off that order. The value of your order will be recalculated to include the discount. Your loyalty points will then be zero and you can start collecting them again.

We are really sorry but loyalty points cannot be used against any items already on sale or on our activities because they come from a large number of different suppliers who do not allow us to make discounts.

FREE POINTS
Help us to help you by filling in our questionnaire, writing product reviews and recommending friends. We reward you with free loyalty points for helping us to improve our service to you. Click here for more details.

ABOUT GIFTWRAPPING
  Single Parcels
For every parcel you would like giftwrapping, there is a £3.95 charge, which can increase to £4.95 for large items, all charges are clearly shown in the basket and at the checkout. This charge includes the wrap and your message on the tag. Choose the giftwrap style from the options available at the checkout.

Multiple Items
If you check more than one item for giftwrap (either in your basket or at the checkout), you will be asked at the checkout if you would like them all wrapped together or separately. If you ask for them to be wrapped together, then this will count as 1 wrap with 1 charge of £3.95 or £4.95 if one of the items is large. A maximum of 4 items can be wrapped together. If you need to give any special instructions please type this into the message field at the checkout.
If you ask for them to be wrapped individually, you will be charged £3.95 or £4.95 per wrap/item. We are really sorry but some extra large items cannot be gift wrapped due to their size, if this is the case then N/A appears under the word Giftwrap? in the basket and at the checkout.

Gift Tags
Every wrap includes a gift tag. Just write your message into the message box at the checkout and we will then put that onto the gift tag when we giftwrap your item. If you do not write a message, the tag will be left blank and we will assume you will want to write the message yourself.
Gift Cards
Gift Cards are available on our 'Gift Cards & Vouchers' page.
