PRE-ORDER

If an item states PRE-ORDER in the title, you are ordering it ahead of receipt of the goods to our warehouse. As soon as we receive it, we will dispatch your whole order to you. You must check the estimated delivery in the product details before purchasing. Please note, occasionally there can be a delay to the estimated arrival date. 

You will be notified who your parcel has been sent with via email, with a link to track your order.  If your order has not arrived within the above time frame, please check the tracking link sent to you in your Dispatch Confirmation email for an update regarding your delivery.  Please note, due to the volume of orders being dispatched, we are unable to individually track every order as it leaves our warehouse, however, if there is an issue with tracking or delivery, we are of course, happy to help. 

Delivery times should be used as an estimated guide and begin from the date of dispatch. The Little Sunshine Store cannot be held responsible for any delays caused by customs clearance for international orders. Delivery outside of the UK can take between 3-10 working days depending on the country.   

International orders require a signature upon receipt so please ensure that someone will be there to sign for the package.
