Make sure your postal address is correct !

When making an online purchase please ensure that your postal address is correct. This is a simple yet easily overlooked task and it is probably one of the most vital, especially as you are expecting everything to turn up there!

So please make sure that your house number has the correct postal code, if this is wrong your parcel will not be delivered and will be returned to us. If you are unsure about your postal code please do a quick check with Royal Mail online, this is a free service and doesn't take long.

You must also enter a house number; if this is not entered your parcel will be returned to us. (This excludes Southern Ireland as alot of rural houses do not have house numbers)

Failure to enter the correct details means your parcel will be returned to us by Parcel Force and you will incur postage and return charges. If such an event does occur then we will contact you and discuss what is to be done with the items ordered.

Otherwise Parcel Force will leave your parcel at the nearest Post Office a Customer Contact Card shall be left at your specified address.

Can You Leave An Item Without A Signature?

Many customers may wish us to leave the parcel at the delivery address with no signature if they are out. We are happy to do this just add a Special Instruction like “Please leave in garage” (You have 50 characters to do so). By doing so you are happy for your parcel to be left on your property without a signature, this will be at your discretion at a place of your choice. For clarity and within our anti-fraud policy, if any parcel is left without a signature, then Elliotts and the carrier disclaim any liability whatsoever for loss, damage or theft.
