Other Delivery Information:

*We endeavour to dispatch orders for standard delivery the day following purchase.  During the current Covid-19 situation please allow up to 10 working days for standard delivery in the UK (mainland) and up to 17 working days for standard delivery within the EU and up to 20 working days for standard delivery to the rest of the world.  

Please ensure all delivery address details are entered correctly.  Once despatched, we are unable to amend delivery details.  If you provide an incorrect or incomplete delivery address at the time of your order it will be your responsibility to pay all the associated re-delivery costs.  

If your delivery address is outside of the UK, you may be required to pay import duties and taxes when your order reaches your country.  These and any additional charges for customs clearance are entirely your responsibility.  We have no control over these charges and cannot predict their amount.  Please contact your local customs office for further information before placing your order if you have any queries.

Please also note that you must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the products are destined.  We will not be liable for any breach of any such laws by you.

If the recipient is not in when special delivery is attempted, the package may either be left with a neighbour or a card will be left with details of how the item can be collected or redelivered.   If you do not arrange collection/redelivery within the specified time shown on the card, the goods will be sent back to us and we will refund the price of the goods excluding any postage costs.

Damaged or Incorrect Products:

All items are thoroughly checked prior to despatch, but in the unlikely event that (a) your product(s) (not including packaging) arrive damaged or (b) you receive the incorrect product, please notify us within 48 hours of receiving them at info@sacredelephantincense.com to inform us (including photographic evidence of the damage/wrong item).  Claims reported outside of this time will not be accepted for return.

Once we have assessed your claim we will make arrangements for a replacement or the correct item to be delivered to you.  You will be asked to return the damaged or wrong item to us.

Should your parcel show signs of damage on receipt, please take photographic evidence of the damaged area(s) if possible.  This will assist in any claims which may occur at a later date. 

Delayed or Lost Orders: 

In the case of a delayed parcel, we will attempt to locate the parcel.  If we are unable to locate it, we will ask you to fill out a missing parcels form in order that a claim can be made, and replacements sent. 

Our delivery partners consider a parcel lost after a period of:

• 5 working days for UK orders sent via Special delivery,
• 10 working days for UK orders sent via Standard delivery,
• 20 working days for orders sent to Europe via Standard delivery, and
• 25 working days for International orders sent via Standard delivery has passed.

We are unable to send replacement items until this period of time has elapsed.
