Customer Services

Welcome to our customer service area, you will find the answers to our most frequently asked questions below

How long will my order take to arrive?

Packages are sent via a combination of carriers including Special Delivery. Standard UK and overseas deliveries are sent via Royal Mail. Delivery times within the UK are usually 24 - 48 hours. Standard overseas deliveries, depending upon how distant, usually take 4 - 10 days, or a faster FedEx delivery upgrade is available for selection during checkout.

Please note that whilst we endeavour to deliver within these timescales, delays beyond our control can occur during transit. An international parcel is not classed as lost with Royal Mail until 21 working days after posting. We ask that such time is allowed before contacting customer services and reporting your order lost.

If you have upgraded to Special Delivery your order will arrive the next working day provided your order is placed early afternoon. You will be sent an email with your tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched.

If you have upgraded to FedEx your order will reach you within 24 - 48 hours depending on the country. You will be sent an email with your tracking number as soon as your order is dispatched.

Please note that aerosols are no longer able to be shipped outside the UK, to avoid delay in processing your order please do not add aerosols to your basket if ordering for delivery overseas.

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive

The Waste Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive is now UK law. The legislation aims to make producers pay for the collection, treatment and recovery of waste electrical equipment. The regulations also mean that suppliers of equipment like high street shops and internet retailers must allow consumers to return their waste equipment free of disposal charge.

The amount of WEEE we throw away is increasing by around 5% each year, making it the fastest growing waste stream in the UK.

• Much of the UK’s WEEE ends up in landfill, where the lead and other toxins it contains can cause soil and water contamination. This can have a harmful effect on natural habitat, wildlife and also human health.

• Many electrical items that we throw away can be repaired or recycled. Recycling items helps to save our natural finite resources and also reduces the environmental and health risks associated with sending electrical goods to landfill.

Distributors of new Electric and Electronic Equipment (EEE) have a part to play in reducing the amount of WEEE going into landfill sites.

We at HQ are obliged under these regulations to offer our customers free disposal of their WEEE on a like-for-like basis when they buy a new Electrical or Electronic product from us.

For example, if a customer bought a new hair straightener from us we would accept their old hair straightener and prevent it going into a landfill site by disposing of it safely. Customers must return their WEEE item to us at their own cost to us within 28 days of purchasing their new item.

Under the WEEE Regulations, all new electrical goods should now be marked with the crossed-out wheeled bin symbol shown below:

WEEE

Goods are marked with this symbol to show that they were produced after 13th August 2005, and should be disposed of separately from normal household waste so that they can be recycled

What do I do if I have not received a response to my query?

All customer service queries should be made strictly via our customer service form to ensure that they are appropriately delivered. Please refrain from emailing individual addresses as we cannot guarantee receipt or replies.

We aim to answer your query within 2 working days, we ask you to respectfully make reasonable allowances for weekends and public holidays.
