We do not currently ship to Europe due to Brexit. We are in the process of reviewing the shipping and export of goods to Europe after Brexit. We ship to the US, Canada, New Zealand and Australia. We are currently reviewing shipments to the Rest Of The World due to increased surcharges. If you don’t see your country as a shipping option please contact us directly hello@thedanes.co.uk to see if we are able to offer to ship an order to you. We have a minimum order spend of £50.00 on ‘tailored’ shipments. International shipments may incur tax or additional charges.

Delivery Information

* You will receive an email from us once your order has been packed and dispatched with further information in regard to which service used incl tracking information if applicable. Both DPD and Royal Mail Tracked service will communicate directly with you in regards to delivery date and timing.
Should you wish to make any changes to this, please communicate directly with either service. Unfortunately once the order has left us, we are not able to make changes to this on your behalf.

* Please check and ensure your have communicated the correct address as we are also unable to make any changes to this once the order has been processed and dispatched. Any address error resulting in the order being returned to us and needing to be resent will incur an additional postage charge of £5.00. We are really sorry for this, but as an independent retailer, we sadly don’t get the discounts that the Amazons of this world do.
This also applies to non-collected from the post office/DPD Local depot which then make their way back to us.

* Orders placed online usually leave The Danes the next working day (this is usually within 24 hours of order being placed, except during our busiest months of November and December. During these two mad months, we cannot guarantee dispatch time for standard delivery, but we can guarantee that we will do everything to get your order out to you, as fast as the postman runs.

Packaging

We are working hard on implementing that our packaging is biodegradable, recyclable or compostable and we are 100% committed to doing so.

  • All our cardboard boxes are FSC certified and recyclable.
  • We work hard to re-use as many supplier cardboard boxes as possible to dispatch orders.
  • We wrap our products in either biodegradable plant based clear bags (plant-based clear bags are 'crunchy'), tissue paper made from recycled paper, Kraft paper or brown Kraft corrugated, honeycomb'ed or bubble paper. We use paper tape only.

We would love if you would help us on our journey - Please Reuse & Recycle our packaging where possible. Thank you!
