At The Positive Health Shop, we aim to dispatch your
completed supplement order within two to three working days.
But in over 90% of cases we dispatch next day where orders
are received before 3pm and held as stock (not
including weekends or public holidays)
Dependant on delivery method you choose, we will
do our utmost to arrange delivery within the time specified
as above up to a maximum of 30
days from the date of your order. Please note
that whilst we will do everything possible to deliver your
order swiftly, in the unfortunate event of the goods not
being delivered (for any reason within the chosen delivery
system including loss, in-transit damage, industrial dispute,
backlog delay, seasonal slowdown etc), we are
unable to cancel or offer a refund until the allocated
30 day delivery period is up or if the goods
are received and returned in a fit state for re-sale during
this period..
Our liability of any kind for late delivery or failure to deliver is limited to the price payable for the goods not including any postage charge paid. If you are not available to accept delivery and your goods are returned to us, an extra delivery charge may become payable. We will always advise you of this and offer the option of cancellation if deemed appropriate.
IMPORTANT. PLEASE NOTE. For security reasons, we strictly reserve the right to only ship to billing address (when a different delivery address is given) in certain instances or when instructed to do so by your credit card verification service on presentation of payment for authorisation. If this is the case we will always advise you accordingly and give you the opportunity to amend the delivery route or cancel the order. This email contact will be an automated response sent out by our order server and we cannot be responsible for non-receipt due to the spam and virus protection in place on some servers (such as Hotmail, Yahoo, MSN and AOL).
Risk of damage or loss to the goods passes to you on receipt/delivery or, if you refuse or are unable to accept, when delivery is attempted.

We can also dispatch by Express Air Mail for those items needed by customers more quickly than normal. This method usually reduces the delivery time from the UK by 1-2 days If you require this service, please make this known to us in the comments box at the checkout and we will email you with an additional cost estimate.
International courier delivery
If you wish to have a guaranteed, door to door delivery of your International order, this is available via Royal Mail Parcelforce, UPS or FedEx and there is an option to choose the ‘courier cost please’ button on the confirm order page of the shop. We will happily send a quote for the cost by email for your approval before dispatch if so instructed to do so. This is a guaranteed, trackable and insured delivery service.
International Customs
Please note, it is the customer's responsibility for the monitoring of any parcels through local customs and into a local postal network if normal Air or Surface Mail is your chosen delivery method. The Positive Health Shop is not able to make any delivery guarantees once a parcel leaves the UK Postal service. We offer international shipping to an extensive number of countries. If we do not ship to your country it is because we have found from experience that there is either a high incidence of Credit Card Fraud or that the local Postal Service has proved unreliable in the past.
International shipping can be easy and trouble free but occasionally it is complicated by local postal network difficulties in the country to which it is being sent. If you have chosen the UK international Airmail Service for our international shipping please be assured that they offer an excellent service at less than half the price of carriers such as UPS or FedEx. However it is impossible for us to guarantee shipping times. The shipping times we give are only estimates. Typically they are accurate but this is not guaranteed and you should understand this fully before placing an order with us. If your package appears to be overdue please contact us and we will do what we can to help. Usually, we cannot track international packages except for those where and International Courier service is the chosen (and paid for) dispatch method. The most common causes of an international becoming late are getting through customs or an incomplete mailing address. The heavier the order the more likely it will be searched and therefore held up in customs.
We must wait 30 days from the time of shipment before we can file a claim with the UK Post Office Service. Therefore, we reserve the right to not refund or resend an overdue international order until 30 days from the time of shipment. If there is a problem the order will be returned to us before 30 days at which time we will determine the best course of action which will most likely involve re-shipping the goods to you.
Unfortunately, due to restrictions placed upon us by our credit card merchant sevices, we are unable to ship to non UK PO Boxes or international destinations not linked to the billing address of the payment card. |
