Shipping

How much does it cost?

Delivery within the mainland UK is FREE for orders £100 or over.

Prices for non-mainland UK and worldwide orders can be found by adding items to your cart and visiting the checkout.

All of our products are delivered from the UK, allowing us to offer you low cost shipping fees no matter the size or weight of your order.

How long will it take?

Prints will arrive between 7 – 10 working days after order.

Our current despatch time estimate (the time it takes for prints to be hand framed and packed) is 4 to 7 working days. If your order contains multiple items, the item with the longest lead-time will determine this despatch date. This despatch estimate is the time from your payment clearing to when we expect your order to leave our UK warehouse for shipping.

Our shipping is express by standard, typically taking 2 to 3 working days for most UK destinations once the items have been collected from our warehouse.

How will my framed print be delivered?

All orders are delivered via a fully tracked service with our trusted carrier partners.The tracking number will be sent to you in your despatch confirmation email.

Is there an impact due to COVID-19 and Brexit?

Due to COVID-19 and Brexit a number of worldwide destinations have had significant surcharges put in place by carriers impacting the cost of shipping. We expect over time that these costs will return to normal, and appreciate your patience and understanding.

Where do you deliver?

We currently ship to all UK addresses and a selection of Worldwide destinations. Please check our available shipping destinations at checkout, which we are working hard to grow all the time.

Problems with delivery?

Missed Delivery

Our carrier partners will leave a card if there was nobody in to accept delivery. You can contact the carrier directly using the details on this card to reschedule a delivery or arrange a collection.

Late Deliver

If your order hasn't arrived within 3 business days of receiving your dispatch notification, please contact us. Our customer service team will investigate and strive to get your order delivered as soon as possible.

Damaged/Incorrect Delivery

If you've received your order and find it's damaged or incorrect, please contact us. We will deliver a replacement as soon as possible. 

What happens if an item is out of stock?

We always try to maintain live stock information on our website but occasionally this may not be possible. If you do order an item that is actually out of stock we will let you know as soon as possible. 

Do we deliver to P.O. Boxes?

No, unfortunately we cannot deliver to P.O. Boxes or BFPO addresses.

Will my order be subject to VAT?

All prices shown include VAT at the standard UK rate. Orders shipping outside of the UK will not be subject to VAT so the total price will reflect that. In all cases, you will see the VAT rate and amount to be charged when you checkout. 

From 1 January 2021, orders shipped to EU countries will not be subject to VAT however the recipient may be liable to local taxes or duties. 

Will I need to pay local tax or duties on my order?

If your order is being shipped outside of the UK it may be liable to local taxes or duties. Any such charges are your responsibility. In most cases you will be notified of these via email directly from your local customs office. Please ensure any local taxes and duties are paid promptly to avoid any undue delay or additional charges on your order.

How do I cancel my order?

You can cancel your order at any time before it has started to be manufactured. Please email hello@ralphandjames.com with ‘ORDER CANCELLATION’ in the subject and your order number, as soon as possible if you wish to cancel.

 

Returns

At Ralph & James we always do our best to deliver a product that you'll love, but should you change your mind or are not satisfied, you have 30 days after delivery of the items to make a return, for refund or replacement.

• On receiving your request, and depending on the reason, we will provide step-by-step instructions on what to do next
• If you need to make a return, repack the item(s) in the original packaging and send back to us at returns address we provide

• We cannot refund the original shipping costs for orders that were delivered outside mainland UK (unless the items are found to be faulty or damaged)

We offer a flexible returns policy to make your shopping experience easier. We do monitor the number of returns made by customers and continued returns in breach of our terms and conditions will be flagged and may, at our discretion, lead to the future orders being refused.
