Delivery & Postage
All UK Orders
Important
- The despatch date is the day we POST the card and NOT the day it will be delivered.
- Your order is likely to arrive much faster if you use a postcode.
We print and despatch most of our orders from our UK production facility in Guernsey. However we do operate an Australian production facility and if appropriate your card will be printed and despatched from Sydney (see expected delivery times below).
All our products are posted by First Class or Airmail (unless the special delivery option is selected at extra cost). Costs are calculated based on item weight so the postage cost will increase on larger orders. The Postage and Packaging cost includes the cost of all envelopes supplied and is not simply the cost of a stamp. If you wish to check the postage and packaging costs on a particular order the best way to do this is place the order in the shopping basket with the correct card size, quantity and address and the site will calculate the charge.
If you order cards to be sent back to you they will be despatched in an outer envelope with a blank envelope inside. If you order a Large Card to be sent back to you, the postage will cost more than sending it direct because the weight of the protective outer envelope adds to the postal cost.
First Class Posting Information
| Order Placed (UK) | Sent by us | Estimated arrival |
| Before 2pm Mon-Fri | Same day | 90% of all First Class deliveries arrive the next working day |
| After 2pm Mon-Thur | Following day |
| After 2pm Fri | Following Monday |
| Saturday & Sunday | Following Monday |
| Public Holidays | Following working day |
Royal Mail advise First Class delivery can take up to 3 working days. However in our experience most deliveries arrive the next working day.
90% of UK deliveries will arrive the following day, unfortunately the other 10% can take up to three days. If possible allow three days from despatch for cards to arrive. It is better for a card to arrive two days early than one day late, remember you can put a note on the envelope asking for it to be opened on a certain day. If your order has not arrived after three days PLEASE call us. We would rather send a replacement card than leave you disappointed.
Large Cards
Due to their size, large cards are hand processed by the mail sorting system and we recommend that you allow an extra day for delivery.

Special Delivery
You can now choose to send to all UK addresses with a complete postcode via Royal Mail Special Delivery at an increased cost (as detailed by Royal Mail). A special delivery ordered before 2pm and despatched Monday – Thursday is guaranteed for delivery before 2pm the following day. Royal Mail do not guarantee special deliveries to arrive on a Saturday but we find that items addressed to residential addresses do generally arrive.
Please be advised that Special Delivery requires a signature upon delivery. If there is not likely to be anyone to sign for the delivery please use the normal first class service or have it delivered to an alternate address. If deliveries cannot be signed for they are taken back to the depot and need to be picked up in person from the Post Office or redelivered at a later date.
