| Tracked 24 | Royal Mail | Next working day delivery aim | Tracked to delivery point |
Delivery times start from dispatch and are service aims rather than guaranteed delivery dates.
Delivery may take longer in remote locations, during public holidays, severe weather, postal disruption or other circumstances outside our reasonable control.
For higher-value orders, we may upgrade the delivery service at no additional cost. This may include Royal Mail Special Delivery or another suitable tracked service.
5. Tracking Your Order
A tracking link will normally be emailed to you after your parcel has been booked with the delivery carrier.
Tracking may initially show that Royal Mail is expecting the parcel until the first physical scan has been completed.
If you have not received tracking information within 24 hours of dispatch, please check your junk or spam folder first.
If you still cannot find it, contact us at info@ripperholics.com.
6. Delayed or Lost Orders
If your order has not arrived within the expected timeframe, please contact us and we will check the tracking information.
Where appropriate, we will open an enquiry with Royal Mail on your behalf.
A parcel arriving after its estimated delivery date is not automatically considered lost.
Royal Mail currently permits loss claims for UK deliveries after the expected delivery date plus 10 working days.
These carrier claim periods do not affect your statutory rights. Once a parcel is reasonably considered lost following investigation, we will arrange an appropriate replacement or refund.
7. Tracking Says Delivered, but I Do Not Have It
If your tracking shows that your parcel has been delivered but you cannot find it, please:
- Check any designated safe place
- Check with other members of your household
- Check with immediate neighbours where appropriate
- Review any delivery photograph or location information shown in the tracking
If you still cannot locate the parcel, contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours.
We will assist with the delivery enquiry and may ask Royal Mail to provide delivery photographs, GPS information or other evidence of delivery.
As the sender, we will normally handle the carrier enquiry. You may also be asked to confirm in writing that the parcel has not been received.
8. Delivery Address Problems
Please check your delivery address carefully before completing your order.
If you notice an error, contact us immediately at info@ripperholics.com.
We cannot guarantee that an address can be changed once an order has been processed or dispatched.
If a parcel is returned to us because an incorrect or incomplete address was supplied, we will contact you to arrange either:
- Redelivery, which may require payment of an additional delivery charge
- A refund, less delivery and return charges where legally permitted
If the address error was caused by us, we will arrange redelivery or another appropriate resolution at no additional cost.
9. Missed Deliveries and Uncollected Parcels
If nobody is available to receive the parcel, Royal Mail may:
- Leave it in an authorised safe place
- Deliver it to an eligible neighbour
- Take it to a local collection point or delivery office
- Attempt delivery again
Please follow the instructions shown in your tracking information or delivery notification.
If a parcel is returned to us because it was not collected or redelivery was not arranged, we will contact you after receiving it.
Additional delivery charges may apply if you ask us to send the parcel again.
10. Damaged, Incorrect or Missing Items
If your order arrives damaged, contains the wrong item or is missing an item, please contact us as soon as possible, ideally within 48 hours of delivery.
Email info@ripperholics.com and include:
- Your order number
- A description of the problem
- Clear photographs of the affected item
- Photographs of the outer packaging, internal packaging and shipping label where relevant
Please keep the product and all packaging until we have reviewed the issue, as Royal Mail or our supplier may require additional photographs or inspection.
We will review the issue and provide a replacement, refund or other appropriate resolution in accordance with our Refund and Returns Policy and your statutory rights.
Our request for prompt reporting does not affect your statutory rights.
11. Packaging
Orders are packaged using materials selected to provide reasonable protection during delivery.
Where appropriate, manga and other books may be protected using cardboard, sleeves, bubble wrap, void fill or other suitable packaging materials.
Outer packaging may occasionally show minor signs of handling during transit. Please contact us if the product itself has been damaged or the packaging damage is significant.
12. Risk During Delivery
Your order remains our responsibility until it comes into the physical possession of you, or a person you have identified to receive it, except where you independently arrange delivery using a carrier that was not offered by us.
Nothing in this Shipping Policy limits or excludes your statutory consumer rights.
13. Returns
This Shipping Policy does not contain the full terms governing cancellations, returns and refunds.
Please refer to our Refund and Returns Policy for further information.
Our Edinburgh correspondence address is not our returns address.
Please contact us before returning any goods. We will provide the correct return address and instructions after your return request has been reviewed.
