1.0 - MY SHADE & SHADOW

COVIOD-19 SHIPPING UPDATE

With travel restrictions being implemented globally, we are being advised by all postal services that there may be unexpected delays of varying amounts of time for any and all orders, regardless of the shipping destination or shipping service/speed selected.

Whilst rare, there have been some cases where parcels (standard shipping, not DHL) have taken up to 8 weeks to pass through the system. Please bear this in mind when ordering if you need products faster for anything in particular.

Please note that most postal providers are not requiring/accepting a signature upon delivery delivery, even if a "signed for' or 'tracked and signed' service is offered, selected or paid for.

Whilst our premises are open, we continue to serve our loyal customers and process orders as swiftly as possible and are 'BUSINESS AS USUAL' for as long as permitted and deemed safe to do so with our reduced workforce. 

• Please be understanding

• Please be sensible

• Please be SAFE

Please note, if you order other items in the same basket as a pre-ordered item, all items will be sent together. If you would like your non-pre-ordered items to arrive sooner, either place two separate orders, or contact us at customerservices@mykitco.uk to arrange an additional postal payment.
