POLICIES
SHIPPING POLICY
Orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday will be dispatched next day. Orders placed after 4pm Friday will be dispatched on Monday. In the case of Bank Holidays, orders will be dispatched on the next available working day.
We dispatch all our boxes via Royal Mail Tracked24 delivery. With this method of delivery, delivery aims to be made within 1-2days of dispatch. We can provide you with a tracking number so that you can track the parcel status. You will also receive a notification via email or text when the parcel has been successfully delivered.
In the unlikely event that your order gets lost and does not arrive, if the tracking information reflects this we will send a replacement box or issue a refund immediately. If the tracking information shows that it was delivered but you report it has not been, we can dispatch a replacement box within 1 working day, however if you would like a refund this may take up to 30 days to be issued as we will need to reclaim the order value in compensation from Royal Mail.
Please be aware - if you leave instructions to leave your parcel with a neighbour or in a safe place, and you then report the item was not delivered, neither we nor Royal Mail can be held liable and you are not entitled to a replacement or refund.
Most of our boxes will fit through the average sized letterbox easily. Any larger items may be too deep to fit through smaller letterboxes, so may require someone in to receive the box - any such large items will be described on the product page.
REFUND POLICY
As our brownies fall under the categories of perishable goods and personalised (gift messages) we cannot offer a refund simply for a change of mind.
In the unlikely event that your order arrives faulty or damaged please send us a photo of the item how it arrived and we will send you a replacement box or issue a refund.
CANCELLATION / RETURN / EXCHANGE POLICY
Orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday are dispatched on the next working day. If you wish to cancel your order, you must do so within 8 hours of placing your order, to ensure the order is not dispatched. Once an order has been dispatched it cannot be cancelled.
To cancel please notify us by emailing us at info@letterboxbrownies.com
As our brownies are perishable goods and sometimes personalised we cannot accept returns or exchanges.

5. Delivery charges and service
The delivery charge is included within the price of Goods displayed. We send all brownie boxes via Tracked24 Delivery. We do not offer a ‘signed for’ option, as the beauty of Letterbox brownies is that they can be delivered through the letterbox – meaning no one needs to be home to receive them.

Orders placed before 4pm Monday to Friday will be dispatched the next working day. If dispatch is delayed due to any cause beyond our reasonable control, the dispatch date will be extended by a reasonable period and we will contact you to notify you of the delay.
We will send the goods to the address specified for delivery in your order. It is very important that this address is accurate. We cannot accept any liability for any loss or damage to the goods once they have been delivered in accordance with your delivery instructions.
Delivery times for Tracked24 delivery is usually 1-2 working days after dispatch. We cannot guarantee delivery dates as they are subject to Royal Mail delays. Orders at peak periods for postage (e.g. Christmas, Easter, Valentines Day etc. ) may carry a greater risk of delay therefore we would advise that you allow more time for your delivery during these periods.

Once goods have been delivered to you they will be held at your own risk and we will not be liable for their loss or damage. Suggested storage instructions are included for your benefit, and can also be found in our FAQ section.
