If you’re not sure what delivery method you selected, you can check your order confirmation email as it has everything you need to know.
Some products, such as Personalised or Direct Despatch items may take a little longer as they are sometimes not made or dispatched from our own warehouse but from a trusty partner in crime. There’s an ETA on the product page if you can’t quite remember.
You can track your order click here

In a word: Yes. We have a 100-day return policy. Panic over.
It’s just not what I wanted (or it’s faulty), what about returns and refunds?
If you’re unlucky enough to receive a faulty product or you’ve changed your mind (how could you?!), no problems. We’ll try to make it as easy as we can. In fact, we’ll make it free.
Simply follow the instructions on this CollectPlus page and be sure to return it to us within 100 days (keeping your Post Office receipt of course). Should your item be on the heavy side (more than 10kgs), please contact us first to arrange a courier collection instead. We are unable to accept unwanted orders that are returned outside of 100 days, that’s plenty of time for you decide whether it’s for you. If you don't have any CollectPlus drop-off points near you please email us at info@firebox.com for support.
Please note for International Orders: If you live outside the UK and your item is faulty or unwanted, then the process is slightly different. Because international post offices can’t recognise our freepost address, you cover the initial cost of return but don’t worry, you’ll be refunded this once it’s back in our hands (up to a maximum of £7 per kg). Please make sure to keep the receipt for any monies paid, so we know how much to refund you. To print off your International returns label, click here.
NB - A small number of items are excluded from our free 100 days returns, click here for our full returns policy.
It usually takes a few days for your item to make its way back to us, however, you should receive your money back within 10 days. If this is not the case, please contact us.

If your personalised product is damaged, different to the preview or has not been made correctly, we will exchange the product free of charge, no questions asked.
Please contact us at info@firebox.com and include a photo so we can see what happened.
