Restricted Products

Due to regulations enforced by our shipping provider, we are not permitted to send any liquid Aftershaves, Colognes, EDTs or any other liquid product containing alcohol to any country outside the UK. This restriction is due to guidelines within the postal system that impose a ban on sending all such items containing alcohol by air.

All products restricted in this manner are clearly labelled as such on this website. Customers attempting to have any such products shipped outside of the UK will be prevented from doing so during the checkout process.

Delays & Out of Stock Items

While we make every effort to have accurate stock numbers in our system, occasionally an item may go out of stock. If we are unable to obtain more stock of that item within a day or two of your order, we will always contact you to inform you via the email address or telephone number you provided about the probable delivery delay period. Alternatively, we may offer you an alternative item. If you cannot accept the delay or the alternative we offer, we will issue a full refund.
