What is a Hubbox Collection?

You can place your order to collect from a convenient location near to you. These are usually collection points in local supermarkets or shops, dry cleaners or repair shops. Please be advised that the store offers a collection service only, they will be unable to return your order if you change your mind or do not wish to collect. The store will hold your parcel for 10 days from the date of delivery. If you are unable to collect your parcel in this timescale please let us know as soon as possible so we can arrange for it to be held a little longer for you. If you do want to continue with your purchase, please collect and return using the returns instruction provided in your parcel, obtaining a proof of posting as record of your return.

How can I track my order?

Just click here and enter your details to see the current status of your parcel.

I can’t track my order, is there a problem?

We advise that it can take up to 24 hours for a tracking link to become active. This is due to the tracking only becoming active once your parcel has been received by the courier. In the unlikely event of a delay with the courier this can take slightly longer to update, but your parcel will still be delivered within 3-5 working days from dispatch. If your parcel has been dispatched but your tracking information hasn’t updated within two working days, please contact us.

I have only received part of my order, where is the rest?

On the rare occasion that one of your items is not available in our warehouse, we will source it from one of our stores. These items are sent separately to you so that you receive them as soon as possible, so the rest of your order will be on its way in a separate parcel. However, we do try to send as few parcels as possible.

What happens if I'm out when my order is delivered?

We deliver by courier and all parcels must be signed for. If you’re not at home when the courier attempts to deliver, they will leave the parcel with a neighbour or arrange a redelivery. They will leave a card with a contact telephone number to call to rearrange your delivery. Any orders not delivered within eight days will be sent back to our warehouse and you will be issued with a refund. Please allow up to 14 days for the refund to be processed back onto your card.

My item has arrived faulty, what can I do?

In the unlikely event that an item has arrived in a less than perfect condition, please return it to us. We are unfortunately unable to offer a postal exchange, however if you contact us we will be more than happy to place a replacement order and ensure this is with you as soon as possible.

My dispatch notes indicate I have been charged twice for postage, have I been?

Our dispatch notes require some kind of postage to be printed, so that we know which kind of order you placed. Rest assured our systems are only capable of charging you for postage once; there is no additional cost for multiple parcels.
