Oils 4 Life International shipping charges are set based on parcel weight, size and destination.

 

Oils 4 Life Shipping charges are automatically calculated in the shopping cart.

*free shipping is calculated on the subtotal of all products in the shopping basket, before any taxes due are added. If discount codes are applied to orders, the subtotal must remain above £60.00 in order to be eligible for free delivery.

PALLET SHIPMENTS

For larger shipments, either UK Mainland or International, pallet shipments may be the safest (and often cheapest) way of transporting products, particularly for creams and gels, which may otherwise be susceptible to damage in transit.

An additional charge of £30.00 (exc. VAT) will be applied for all UK Mainland Pallet Shipments on orders under £400.00 GBP. Oils 4 Life will contact you if this applies. This is a nominal charge and does not cover the full cost of the pallet shipment incurred by Oils4life Limited. International Pallet Shipments are charged at cost + 10%.

Special delivery requests, such as tail-lift delivery, morning delivery, weekend delivery etc., may be available, however, these will incur additional charges, charged at cost + 10%.

IMPORTANT

Orders are usually dispatched within 3 to 5 working days (not including the date of order). Oils 4 Life will dispatch your order as soon as we can. In the event of a potentially excessive delay in dispatching your order (over 10 working days) we will notify you by email. 

Parcels (weighing less than 2kg) are usually sent by Royal Mail Tracked. Parcels weighing more than 2kg will be sent by Courier (i.e. RDM/APC, UPS or Hermes). High value orders or delivery locations with reported problems (i.e. high frequency of parcel loss) will be sent by courier.

 

The majority of the parcels we dispatch will not fit through a letter box and therefore someone will need to be present at time of delivery to receive the parcel. Royal Mail or the nominated Courier will post an 'attempted delivery card' through your letter box in the event that you are not home at the time of delivery.

 

You will need to contact Royal Mail or Courier to organise redelivery or possibility of collection from a local depot. A redelivery charge, equivalent to the original shipping charge (or a minimum of £4.50 (exc. VAT) for free shipping orders) will be payable for any parcels returned to us, where Royal Mail or Courier advises us that you have not attempted collection of the parcel from their depot within the set period. ABSOLUTELY NO EXCEPTIONS!

 

Oils 4 Life are unable to honour any special requests for delivery entered during the online checkout (i.e. leave behind the bin or deliver to a neighbour etc. if not in).

A signature may be required on delivery.

Customers are responsible for paying all import charges / taxes that apply in the country of delivery. In the event that customers refuse to pay these charges, Oils 4 Life will have the right to either instruct the courier/agent to destroy the goods or return the goods to Oils 4 Life in the UK. Any refund payable to the customer will include a deduction for the full costs associated with the destruction or return of goods + 10%. Restocking fees up to 25% are also applicable for returned goods.
