Elythera Shipping & Delivery Policy
Last updated: 18 August 2026
At Elythera, we aim to make delivery simple, reliable and transparent.
This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains our UK delivery services, delivery charges, estimated delivery times and what happens if your order is delayed, lost or damaged in transit.
Nothing in this policy affects your statutory rights under UK consumer law.
1. UK Delivery
Elythera currently offers delivery throughout the United Kingdom.
Delivery options and the applicable delivery charge will be displayed at checkout before you complete your purchase.
2. Standard UK Delivery
Royal Mail Tracked 48
Customer price: £3.99
Estimated delivery: 2–3 working days
Our standard UK delivery service is Royal Mail Tracked 48.
Royal Mail’s current online Tracked 48 Large Letter service starts from £2.85 and provides tracking to the delivery point, delivery notifications and compensation cover of up to £75, subject to Royal Mail’s terms and conditions. (Royal Mail)
Where an individual order cannot be sent as a Large Letter because of its size, thickness or weight, Elythera may use an appropriate parcel service.
The delivery price shown to the customer at checkout will remain the price applicable to the order.
3. Free Standard Delivery
Elythera offers free standard UK delivery on orders of £70 or more.
Free delivery applies to qualifying orders after applicable discounts and before delivery charges, unless otherwise stated in a promotional offer.
Free standard delivery is provided using our standard Royal Mail Tracked 48 service or an equivalent delivery service selected by Elythera.
4. Express UK Delivery
Royal Mail Tracked 24
Customer price: £5.99
Estimated delivery: 1–2 working days
Our express service uses Royal Mail Tracked 24 where available.
Royal Mail’s current online Tracked 24 Large Letter service starts from £3.80 and has a next-working-day delivery aim, although delivery aims do not apply to every postcode. It includes tracking to the delivery point, delivery notifications and compensation cover of up to £75, subject to Royal Mail’s terms. (Royal Mail)
The Elythera customer price includes the delivery service and reasonable packaging and fulfilment costs.
Tracked 24 is a delivery aim, not a guaranteed delivery service, unless the service is expressly described as guaranteed at checkout.
5. Packaging and Large Letter Delivery
Where practical, Elythera will package individual T-shirts and other suitable lightweight clothing so that they can be sent using Royal Mail’s Large Letter format.
Royal Mail’s Large Letter maximum dimensions are:
35.3cm × 25cm × 2.5cm
and the current Tracked 48 Large Letter service permits items up to 750g. (Royal Mail)
If an order exceeds the Large Letter limits because of the number, size, weight or packaging of the items, we may use a Small Parcel or other suitable delivery service.
Customers will not normally be charged an additional delivery fee simply because Elythera has had to use a larger delivery format.
6. Multiple Items
Where an order contains multiple items, we may package the items together where practical.
For example, two or more T-shirts may be sent in one parcel where the combined size and weight allow.
This allows us to keep delivery efficient while maintaining appropriate tracking and protection.
If an order needs to be split into multiple parcels, we will provide tracking information where available.
We will not normally charge additional delivery fees solely because we decide to split an order into multiple parcels.
7. Order Processing
Orders are normally processed within 1–2 working days.
Orders placed before [CUT-OFF TIME] may be processed on the same working day where operationally possible.
Orders placed after the cut-off time, at weekends or on UK bank holidays may be processed on the next working day.
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a dispatch confirmation email containing tracking information where available.
8. Delivery Estimates
Our delivery times are estimates unless a service is specifically described as guaranteed.
Estimated delivery times may be affected by:
- weekends;
- UK bank holidays;
- sales and promotional periods;
- product launches;
- unusually high order volumes;
- severe weather;
- courier disruption; or
- circumstances outside our reasonable control.
Where we become aware of a significant delay affecting your order, we will make reasonable efforts to keep you informed.
9. Delivery Address
Orders will be delivered to the address provided by the customer at checkout.
Please check your delivery information carefully before completing your purchase.
If an incorrect or incomplete address is provided, this may result in a delivery failure or the parcel being returned to Elythera.
Where an additional delivery charge is reasonably incurred because a customer supplied an incorrect address, additional charges may be payable by the customer where permitted by law.
This does not affect any statutory rights.
10. Tracking
Tracked delivery services provide tracking information where supported by the selected service.
Tracking information will normally be sent to the email address provided with the order.
Tracking may take some time to become active after the parcel has been collected or accepted by Royal Mail.
11. Failed Delivery
If nobody is available to receive your order, Royal Mail or the relevant carrier may:
- attempt delivery again;
- leave the parcel in an appropriate location where permitted;
- leave instructions for collection;
- offer an alternative delivery option; or
- return the parcel to Elythera.
The options available depend on the delivery service and carrier.
If your parcel is returned to us, please contact Elythera so that we can determine the appropriate next step.
12. Lost or Missing Orders
If your order has not arrived within a reasonable period after the estimated delivery date, please contact us.
If tracking indicates that a parcel has been delivered but you have not received it, please contact us so that we can investigate.
We may ask you to confirm your delivery address and check with household members, neighbours or any safe location indicated by the carrier.
Elythera will investigate delivery issues with the carrier where appropriate.
We will not simply require you to resolve the matter directly with the courier where Elythera remains responsible for the goods.
13. Damaged Deliveries
If your package arrives visibly damaged, please photograph the packaging before opening it where reasonably possible.
If the goods inside are damaged, please contact us as soon as reasonably possible.
Please provide photographs of:
- the outer packaging;
- the shipping label; and
- the damaged item.
We will investigate and provide the appropriate remedy where the goods are damaged or otherwise do not conform to the contract.
14. Responsibility for Goods During Delivery
Elythera remains responsible for the goods until they come into the physical possession of you or a person you have identified to receive them, subject to applicable law.
You should therefore contact Elythera if goods are lost or damaged before delivery.
15. Safe Places and Neighbours
Where you specifically instruct the carrier to leave your parcel in a particular safe place or with a nominated neighbour, the delivery may be treated in accordance with that instruction, subject to applicable law.
Customers should only nominate locations or recipients that they consider secure.
16. Delivery Charges
The following UK delivery charges currently apply:
Service
Customer price
Estimated delivery
Standard – Royal Mail Tracked 48
£3.99
2–3 working days
Free Standard Delivery
£0 on orders £70+
2–3 working days
Express – Royal Mail Tracked 24
£5.99
1–2 working days
These prices include applicable packaging and fulfilment costs.
The delivery options and charges applicable to your order will always be displayed before you complete your purchase.
17. Delivery and UK Consumer Law
Elythera will provide information about available delivery options, delivery charges and expected delivery times before you place your order.
Where a specific delivery date or period has been agreed with you, we will make reasonable efforts to deliver within that period.
Where no delivery period has been agreed, applicable UK consumer law generally requires goods to be delivered without undue delay and, in any event, within 30 days.
Where delivery by a particular date is essential and this has been agreed as part of the contract, additional statutory rights may apply if we fail to deliver on time.
Nothing in this policy excludes or restricts those rights.
18. Delivery Delays
Elythera uses third-party delivery providers, but this does not mean that responsibility for fulfilling the customer’s order is transferred to the carrier.
If your order is significantly delayed, please contact Elythera.
We will investigate the issue and, where appropriate, liaise with the carrier.
Nothing in this policy limits your statutory rights where goods are not delivered within the agreed period or within the period required by law.
19. Incorrect, Refused or Uncollected Deliveries
If an order is returned because the customer:
- provided an incorrect or incomplete address;
- refused delivery; or
- failed to collect the parcel after being notified,
please contact Elythera.
Where the circumstances amount to a statutory cancellation, Elythera will deal with the cancellation and refund in accordance with applicable law.
Where a customer requests that an order be resent because of information or instructions supplied by the customer, reasonable additional delivery charges may apply where legally permitted.
20. Cancelling an Order Before Dispatch
If you wish to cancel an order before it has been dispatched, contact:
elytheraclothing@outlook.com
We will make reasonable efforts to stop the order before dispatch where possible.
Because orders may enter the fulfilment process quickly, we cannot guarantee that a cancellation request received after an order is placed can be stopped before dispatch.
If the order has already been dispatched, you may use your applicable statutory cancellation rights and our Returns & Refunds Policy.
21. International Delivery
Where Elythera offers international delivery, the applicable delivery cost and estimated delivery period will be displayed at checkout.
Customers may be responsible for applicable customs duties, import taxes or other charges imposed by the destination country where legally applicable and where these charges are not included in the purchase price.
International customers may have mandatory consumer rights under the laws applicable to their purchase.
22. Peak Periods
Delivery and processing times may be longer during:
- Black Friday;
- Christmas;
- product launches;
- sales;
- promotional campaigns; and
- other periods of unusually high demand.
Where a particular delivery timeframe applies during a promotion, this will be displayed at checkout.
23. Contact
For delivery enquiries, please contact:
Elythera
Email: elytheraclothing@outlook.com
Please include your order number wherever possible.
We aim to deal with delivery enquiries fairly, efficiently and in accordance with applicable UK consumer law.
24. Changes to this Policy
We may update this Shipping & Delivery Policy from time to time to reflect changes to our delivery services, carriers, prices or legal requirements.
The version applicable to your order will normally be the version displayed at the time you place your purchase, subject to any mandatory legal requirements.
25. Your Statutory Rights
Nothing in this Shipping & Delivery Policy excludes, restricts or limits any statutory rights that cannot legally be excluded, restricted or limited.
In particular, this policy does not affect your rights under the Consumer Rights Act 2015, the Consumer Contracts (Information, Cancellation and Additional Charges) Regulations 2013, or other applicable UK consumer protection legislation.
