Shipping/Policies

---

We greatly appreciate all orders and require no minimums 

There is a standard £6.00 delivery charge for all UK orders regardless of weight. All items are sent 2nd class recorded under 2 kg (We will often use a courier for heavier items) 

International orders are charged a fixed £16.00 delivery charge. This may need to be altered in light of the current situation and international courier charges have increased. 

 This is normally a tracked and signed for service.  

If the quote  from the shipping company is higher than £16.00 then the buyer will be contacted prior to shipping and advised of this. 

BREXIT - with the UK leaving the EU, your order maybe detained at the border for a bit, which means you will have to wait just a little longer for your order to arrive. Customs and Duty tax, whilst I make every effort to ensure the correct paperwork and information is added to all orders I can not predict if there will be additional charges once your package enters your country. 

We’re a new business, juggling many roles and while we get to grips with what you like to order and in what quantities, we’re having to tread carefully with our packaging. We know it’s not ideal and it’s certainly not what we want - we’d love to be able to deliver a consistent experience for you all - but until we have a few more months under our belt, we’re having to tread carefully. We don’t want to spend a load of money on packaging no one wants or needs. That creates waste and also is potentially harmful to us as a start-up business.

We’re also very conscious of our impact on the environment, not least of all the use of plastic in our products and packaging. Plastic is a great material for our scent work kit: most importantly it is safe for our dogs, but easy to clean and also hard wearing.

As a way of killing two birds with one stone, we have adopted a policy of reusing as much of our packaging as possible (to date we’ve not only used nearly all the packaging from our suppliers in sending out our orders to you, we’ve also begged and borrowed packaging from friends and family). Apart from being a positive step towards reducing our impact on the world, it gives us, as a small business a great deal of flexibility as well as saving some costs which allows us to offer better value to you and also support our growth.

We know the packaging may not always look the prettiest and it is not our intention to pursue this indefinitely; we will find new ways of supporting the environment in the future, but for now, we hope you will support this initiative.
