Shipping & Returns Policy

Shipping & Returns Policy

Updated: 7 September 2025

We aim to dispatch all orders within 1–2 working days. Our shipping and returns approach is designed to be clear, fair, and customer-friendly.

📦 Shipping Information

Smaller Products

For small items — such as booster packs, individual trading cards, and board game parts — we usually use:

  • Royal Mail 1st Class (Large Letter)
  • Royal Mail 2nd Class (Large Letter)

These methods offer reliable delivery at a low cost. Items are securely packaged in rigid mailers or padded envelopes for protection during transit.

Larger Products or Multi-Item Orders

For larger items — like deck boxes, storage tins, premium sets, or combined orders — we may use:

  • Royal Mail Tracked 24 or Tracked 48
  • Other tracked or secure methods where appropriate

We reserve the right to use tracked or alternative services in cases such as:

  • High-value orders
  • Oversized or delicate items
  • When we believe tracking adds security or peace of mind

You will not be charged extra if we upgrade your shipping.

📦 Packaging

We pack all items carefully to ensure safe arrival. We use a mix of:

  • Rigid mailers and padded envelopes for small items
  • Sturdy boxes and protective padding for larger items

We strive to reduce plastic and use recyclable materials wherever possible.

⏱️ Estimated Delivery Times

After dispatch, typical Royal Mail delivery times are:

  • 1st Class: 1–2 working days
  • 2nd Class: 2–4 working days
  • Tracked 24: 1 working day
  • Tracked 48: 2 working days

Please allow up to 7 working days before contacting us regarding a delay.
