Payments and Deliveries policy
1. Payment Methods
We want to make bringing your new teddy bear home as easy as possible. We securely process all payments through Shopify Payments, which allows us to accept:
Credit/Debit Cards: Visa, Mastercard, American Express, and Maestro.
Digital Wallets: Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Shop Pay.
Paypal
All transactions are encrypted using AES-256 SSL technology, ensuring your financial details are never stored on our servers.
2. UK Delivery Options
All our bears are dispatched from our UK workshop. We offer the following shipping methods:
Express Delivery (1-2 business days): £5.95.
Non-standard items (Very heavy or large) will incur additional costs
3. International Shipping
We ship our teddy bears worldwide!
Europe: Email us for bespoke prices (Estimated 5-10 business days)
Rest of World: Email us for bespoke prices (Estimated 7-14 business days).
Import Duties: Please note that for international orders, the recipient is responsible for any import duties, taxes, or administration fees charged by their local customs office.
4. Dispatch Times
Standard Items: Orders placed before 1:00 PM GMT are usually dispatched the next business day.
Personalised/Handmade Bears: Please allow an additional 3-5 business days for our team to hand-finish your bear before dispatch.
5. Tracking Your Bear
Once your order has been whisked away by the courier, you will receive a Shipping Confirmation email containing your tracking number, and the contract between Top Teddies Ltd and the buyer officially commences. You can track your parcel directly through the link provided in that email or via your Shopify account.
6. Missing or Delayed Parcels
While we aim for every bear to arrive on time, delays can happen during busy periods (like Christmas). If your order hasn't arrived within 10 business days for UK orders or 25 business days for international orders, please contact us here so we can investigate. Please quote your Order Number with all correspondence.
Please Note:
We cannot ship to PO Boxes for security reasons, as a signature may be required upon delivery to ensure your teddy bear arrives safely.
