If these charges are not paid and the courier cannot deliver, the parcel may be returned or disposed of. Refunds, where applicable, will be issued only once the parcel is received back by us, with any courier, customs or return fees (including original shipping) deducted.

Refused / Undeliverable Parcels

Tracking Your Delivery

The customer (recipient) is responsible to track the delivery and arrange it in a way that is convenient for them.

If you do not receive your tracking information, please check your spam or junk email folder first. If it’s not there, contact us straight away so we can assist.

If your parcel is delivered to a designated “safe place” (such as a front porch, doorstep, or similar location), you accept full responsibility for the parcel from the moment it is confirmed delivered and photographed by the courier. Please be aware that unless you submit specific delivery instructions (such as choosing a neighbour or safe place through the courier’s tracking link), the final decision rests with the delivery driver. They may choose to leave the parcel in a safe place, with a neighbour, or return it to the depot.

As this is outside of our control, we cannot accept responsibility for parcels that are damaged (e.g. by weather conditions) or go missing after they have been left at your address or with a neighbour.

If your parcel is not delivered as expected, please contact us as soon as possible – and no later than 5 days after the expected or confirmed delivery date. Courier claims must be raised within 7 calendar days, and any issues reported beyond this window are unlikely to be investigated by the courier or eligible for compensation.

If a delivery is not successful, your parcel is returned to a delivery depot. It is the customers responsibility to re-arrange delivery and/or collect the parcel before it is returned to us. It can be done online at https://www.royalmail.com/receiving-mail/redelivery We are happy to help re-arranging the delivery for you, please email us at hello@thebabyden.co.uk for assistance.

Please note that we cannot accept liability for unsuccessful deliveries and order that are returned to us after an unsuccessful delivery due to the recipient not being present at the address at the time of delivery, a failed collection and/or an incorrect or incomplete address. We are happy to ship the same parcel again after it returns to us at the customers cost.
