Shipping policy
I. Order processing and production
- All products are made to order. Production times vary by product and personalisation options.
- Orders enter production after payment is successfully received.
- Business days are Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays.
II. Dispatch and delivery estimates
- Estimated delivery times are shown on each product page and usually reflect:
- Production time (making your item), plus
- Delivery time (carrier transit after dispatch).
- These timeframes are estimates, not guarantees, but we use them to help you make an informed purchase decision.
- When your order is dispatched, we will send a dispatch confirmation email, including tracking where available.
- If your order contains multiple items, they may be dispatched in separate parcels.
III. Shipping destinations and customs
- We offer international delivery. Delivery times can vary significantly depending on location, local postal services, and customs procedures.
- For international orders, import VAT, duties, and handling fees may be charged by your country and are the customer’s responsibility unless stated otherwise.
IV. Delays
- Delays can occur due to customs clearance, carrier disruption, high demand periods, weather, or events outside our control.
- If a delay occurs, we will do our best to keep you informed and work with the carrier to resolve it.
- UK and EU/EEA customers: If we fail to deliver within the agreed timeframe (or, where no timeframe is agreed, within 30 days), you may have the right to cancel the order and receive a refund.
V. Risk, delivery and "safe place” instructions
- Where delivery is arranged by us, the goods remain our responsibility until they come into your physical possession (or into the possession of someone you nominate to receive them).
- If you instruct the carrier to leave the parcel in a specific safe place or with a neighbour, we will treat delivery as completed when the carrier delivers in accordance with those instructions (and records delivery as completed).
VI. Incorrect or incomplete address
- Please ensure your delivery address is complete and accurate at checkout.
- If an order is delayed, returned, or lost due to an incorrect or incomplete address provided by the customer, we may not be able to offer a free replacement. Where a parcel is returned to us, we can reship it at the customer’s cost.
VII. If you have not received your order
- Before contacting us, please:
- check your dispatch email (and tracking link if provided),
- check with household members/neighbours, and
- check any “safe place” location you may have nominated.
- If you still cannot locate your parcel, contact us at info@raisedbased.com with your order number. We will investigate with the carrier and, where appropriate, arrange a replacement or refund.
