Delivery
Post Buddy orders are processed by our order fulfilment company BOXstation (AD Hoc Storage) and dispatched from their warehouse in Hinckley, Leicestershire. Once payment has been received, the order is electronically transmitted to BOXstation and the order process starts soon after the information has been received by them.
Orders received before 2pm on a business day (Mon – Fri except bank holidays) are generally dispatched the same afternoon. Orders received after 2pm will generally be dispatched the following business day. Therefore, orders received after 2pm on Friday and over the weekend are usually dispatched the following Monday (except bank holidays).
Once dispatched, delivery is generally next business day within mainland UK and 2-3 business days for UK Highlands and Islands and Northern Island. (NB: Although rare, exceptions can occur. The stated dispatch and delivery times are, therefore, not guaranteed)
Our courier, DPD, will send you notifications confirming dispatch by AD Hoc Storage. DPD provide delivery information and status updates to help you manage your delivery. If you have provided a valid mobile number, you will also receive SMS texts with a delivery time slot and updates.
Any delivery arrangements must be made directly with the courier. Unless prior arrangements have been made to the contrary, deliveries may require a valid signature on receipt. Deliveries are subject to the courier’s terms & conditions of trading, which can be found here.
We deliver to within England, Wales, Scotland and Northern Ireland. Additional charges apply to deliveries to Northern Ireland and the Highlands and Islands. (We do not deliver to the Channel Islands).
