Notifications - such as delivery attempts, missed deliveries being left at an access point, your parcel's journey - will be on the tracking. You also have options to change delivery date and location.
If there are three failed delivery attempts, the courier may return parcels back to Zsig for which we incur a charge. Returned to sender orders are refunded, minus any shipping charges.

Shipping large international orders
You're welcome to ask us if we can quote separately for shipping large international orders. Sometimes we can improve rates by clever packing.
FAQ
How will I know when my order has been shipped?
You'll receive an email from us when your order is packed ready for courier collection, and an email from the courier with a live tracking link. There's a further email once the order leaves us, and if you have an online Zsig account it will be updated with tracking and delivery information.
Please keep an eye on the tracking. After a failed delivery, smaller parcels may be left at a collection point. You also have options to edit your delivery date and location if you're not going to be at home.
How quickly do we ship after we receive your order?
We're pretty good at getting orders out the same or next business day where items are in stock, other than in really busy periods. April, May and June are understandably busy.
Let us know if you would like us to hold on to your order for delivery on or after a specific date. We ship school orders during term time only unless instructed otherwise.
