Frequently Asked Questions

See below for our answers to your FAQ's

What are the available delivery options and how much are they?

We offer free delivery on all UK orders over £50 (orders subject to verification checks). Any deliveries scheduled to arrive on the Saturday or Bank Holiday will be delivered the following working day.

Our warehouse is closed on Bank Holidays so orders placed on a Bank Holiday will not be processed until the following working day. Delivery to Channel Islands, Isle of Man & Isle of Wight is charged at £15. Orders under £50 will be subject to a charge of £4.49 (for addresses in mainland UK).

Are delivery times guaranteed?

We will always endeavour to deliver within the selected and advised time frame, however, we cannot provide a guarantee of this due to possible unforeseen circumstances. If you have paid for a time slot delivery or Saturday delivery, we will refund the delivery cost should we not deliver in the advised time frame.

Can I amend my delivery options after I have placed the order?

Once your order has been dispatched from our warehouse, we would be unable to make amendments to your delivery. Upon dispatch you will receive text/email tracking information from DPD where you can amend your delivery day. Once despatched it is not possible to change your address or details. Before your order has been dispatched it may be possible to make amendments to your delivery by contacting our customer service team.

Can I collect in-store instead?

Once an order has been placed via the web or our Contact Centre for home delivery we cannot amend the order to be collected from store. Should you wish to collect an item from store instead, we can cancel your original order and you can place a Collect@Store order at Jessops.com to collect at your local Jessops branch

What if one or more items are out of stock at the time I place the order?

If one or more items are out of stock at the time that you placed the order we will usually dispatch the items that are in stock right away and then the rest of the order will follow once we have received stock. If you have placed your order via PayPal or on a Finance agreement, we are unable to part-ship the order. Therefore, please take note of which items are in stock when ordering and select the products accordingly.

Can you part-ship an order?

We can part-ship orders providing the order was not placed via PayPal or on a Finance agreement.

 

Which courier do you use?

Your order will usually be delivered by DPD. DPD normally deliver Monday to Friday, 8am - 6pm.

No deliveries will be made on Bank or Public Holidays.

If you would like your Order to be delivered on a Saturday there will be an additional charge.

If your Order is to be delivered by DPD you can track your Order online to find a scheduled delivery date.

How can I track my order once it has been dispatched?

Once your order has been dispatched you will receive notification from DPD to confirm tracking information. They will send you regular updates with the status of your order and will also provide a DPD consignment number which you can use to track the status of your delivery at www.dpdlocal-online.co.uk. Tracking information becomes available on the day of delivery.

 

I can see that my order has been dispatched and should have arrived, what do I do?

If the information provided shows that you should have received the delivery already, please contact our Customer Service team immediately to report this. We ask that you inform us within 3 days if you have not received delivery. As per process, our Customer Service team will need to carry out a full investigation with UK Mail to resolve this for you.
