Delivery
Standard deliveries to UK addresses are handled by Royal Mail.
These are usually made within 1 to 2 working days from point of order, however, delays may occur in the case of unforeseen circumstances.
Royal Mail deliveries usually take between 2-3 days to arrive (after the date of posting) however this is not guaranteed and is dependent on Royal Mail.
Next working day delivery is available as an option on most orders. Orders must be placed before 1 pm Monday to Friday. Orders placed on Friday before 1pm will be delivered the following Monday. Orders placed after 1 pm Friday and before 1 pm Monday will be delivered the following Tuesday. All next day delivery orders require a signature and are guaranteed to arrive before 1 pm.
Deliveries to addresses outside the UK
These are made within 4 to 5 working days and all overseas post is handled by Royal Mail in the UK and by local delivery agents in the delivery country. Shipments outside the EU are subject to customs inspections and delays. We have no control over deliveries once they leave the UK.
Delivery occurs when the items are delivered to the delivery address you specified when placing your order. At this point, responsibility for loss, breakage, and damage passes to you. Should you specify at point of order that goods are left with a neighbour, this is done so at your own risk.
Dispatch times may vary according to availability and any representations made as to delivery times are limited to Mainland UK and subject to any delays resulting from postal delays or force majeure for which we will not be responsible.
BFPO
Deliveries to BFPO addresses are free. Delivery to BFPO addresses can incur delays by the armed forces prioritising essential supplies beyond our control.
Orders for Delivery Outside the United Kingdom
The products specified on this website are suitable and approved for use for customers within the United Kingdom (excluding the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man). Customers who choose to purchase items for usage and distribution to locations outside the United Kingdom do so at their own risk and have a personal responsibility regarding compliance with local laws.
Customs Duties
If you order items for delivery outside the United Kingdom they may be subject to import duties and taxes. These are levied once the items reach the specified destination. You, the customer are responsible for any import duties incurred on your own purchases. The Beard Emporium has no knowledge of whether these charges may be incurred or what value they may be.
Customs policies vary widely from country to country, so you should contact your local customs office for further information. Customs authorities may request personal information such as Social Security number when inspecting your parcel; failure to provide this information to Customs will result in the parcel being returned. In this instance, we are unable to refund the cost of postage and packaging.
Please note that for items you order through our website, you are considered the importer and must comply with all laws and regulations of the country in which the items are to be delivered.
Please note that cross-border deliveries are subject to opening and inspection by customs authorities. There is no guarantee that your goods will arrive in the same condition that they were dispatched should they be subject to inspection.
Refunds Policy
If you are unhappy with your unused purchase please return it within 14 days along with your receipt for an exchange or refund, by the original method of payment.
Items must be returned in their original packaging and must be complete and unopened. The Beard Emporium will not be responsible for any postage cost incurred due to return.
