Complaints And Feedback
Tell Us What Went Wrong
Something we got wrong gets fixed, and something you think we could do better gets read. Both reach the same small team, and both get a reply from a named person rather than a reference number.
File A Complaint
Use this when an order or a service has gone wrong and you need it put right. Include your order number and we can start work straight away.
- Your order number
- The date the problem happened
- Which title or titles are affected
- Photographs, if anything arrived damaged
- The outcome you would like
Share Feedback
Use this for a suggestion, a title you want us to stock, a problem with the site, or to tell us when something went right.
- What prompted you to write
- Which part of the service it concerns
- What you would change, if anything
- A title you would like us to carry
- Whether you have ordered before

The Process
How We Handle A Complaint
Four stages, and you hear from us at each one. Nothing sits waiting for you to chase it.
-
Within 24 Hours
We Acknowledge It
You get a reply confirming we have your complaint, who is handling it, and what we still need from you.
-
1 To 2 Working Days
We Investigate
We check the order record, the dispatch note and the carrier tracking. If we need photographs or more detail, we ask once and clearly.
-
Within 5 Working Days
We Decide And Tell You Why
Replacement, refund or explanation, set against our returns and refunds policy. You get the reasoning, not only the outcome.
-
Same Week
We Act, Then Check Back
The replacement ships or the refund goes through, and we follow up afterwards to confirm it actually landed.

Escalation
If You Are Not Satisfied
Reply on the same email thread and ask for the case to be escalated. It goes to Nicole directly. Tell us what outcome you were expecting and why the one you were offered does not settle it, and you will hear back within two working days.
Nothing on this page limits your statutory consumer rights. If you paid by card or through PayPal you also keep whatever buyer protection those providers offer, and you are free to use it at any point.
Complaint records are kept only for as long as we need them to resolve the case and to meet our record keeping obligations. What we store and why is set out in our privacy policy.
Where Feedback Goes
What Happens To What You Send
Feedback is read as it arrives and gathered for a monthly review. It informs which titles go on the shelf, how orders are packed and what changes on the site. If a suggestion of yours gets used, we will tell you.
Returns And Refunds
What is covered, the reporting window and how refunds are paid.
Shipping And Delivery
Destinations, timings and when a parcel counts as delayed.
Terms And Conditions
The terms your order was placed under.
Privacy Policy
What we hold, why we hold it and how to ask us to delete it.

A complaint is a customer giving you one more chance. We would rather have it than a silent exit.
