Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout based on your delivery location, order size, and selected shipping method.

From time to time, we may offer free shipping promotions. Any applicable free shipping offers will be displayed on our website (excludes bulky items).

Order Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, you'll receive a confirmation email containing your tracking information (where available).

Please allow up to 24 hours for tracking information to become active.

Delivery Delays

While we aim to meet all estimated delivery times, delays can occasionally occur due to:

• Public holidays

• Extreme weather

• Courier network delays

• Peak shopping periods

• Remote delivery locations

Unfortunately, these delays are outside our control.

Incorrect Delivery Information

Please ensure your shipping address is correct before completing your order.

Tinker Gifts cannot accept responsibility for parcels delivered to an incorrect address provided by the customer. Additional shipping charges may apply if a parcel is returned to us and requires re-delivery.

If your parcel arrives damaged or appears to be lost in transit, please contact us within 7 days of the expected delivery date.

Include:

• Your order number

• Photos of any damaged items or packaging (if applicable)

We'll work with the shipping carrier to investigate and resolve the matter as quickly as possible.

Authority to Leave

If you choose "Authority to Leave" during delivery, the parcel becomes the customer's responsibility once the carrier confirms delivery. Tinker Gifts is not liable for parcels that are lost or stolen after delivery has been completed.
