Delivery, Postage & Returns

Standard Delivery Information

Orders are usually dispatched between 3-5 working days if they are in stock.

Each separate order will be charged a separate delivery fee. If only part of your order is available, we will only dispatch the items that are in stock, and cancel the out of stock items. The cost of out of stock items will be refunded to you via PayPal.

Standard delivery to some postcodes such as Northern Ireland & outlying areas may take an additional 24 hours.

Creating a Contract

These are the steps required to create a contract between you and The Wiltshire Beekeeper:

You place an order for your products on The Wiltshire Beekeeper website by submitting your order at the end of the PayPal checkout process. 

When using the online shop, PayPal will send you an order acknowledgement email with a transaction ID, detailing the products you have ordered. This is an automated service from PayPal, not an order confirmation or order acceptance from The Wiltshire Beekeeper.

Order acceptance and the completion of the contract between you and The Wiltshire Beekeeper will take place on the dispatch to you of the products ordered, unless we have notified you that we do not accept your order (or part of your order). You will be refunded for items which are not dispatched to you.
The reasons for non-acceptance of an order by The Wiltshire Beekeeper may be a result of one of the following:

  • The product you ordered being unavailable from stock; or
  • Our inability to obtain authorisation for your payment; or
  • The identification of a pricing or product description error.

Payments via our PayPal Shopping Cart

Payment will be deducted from your account when we receive the order. Any returns can be sent to us by post and the same account will be credited once we have established that the condition of your returned items meet our criteria (see Refunds, below).
