Hi, Please email us about your order.

Obviously with the Christmas period, Royal Mail are very busy and working tirelessly to get post out.
As you opted for 2nd class postage, your item can take a little longer to arrive. Plus it was sent out to you Thursday. 2nd class is typically advised 3-5 working days.

Hope this helps.

Karen, You have written your review before giving me chance to rectify the issue and your email I received. Your order was posted out on 29th as stated to you. Unfortunately the delay is with Royal Mail and not ourselves but as this has been an inconvenience to you at no fault of your own I have offered you a full refund and my apologies.
