Shipping Policy 

Thank you for visiting and shopping at Saffron Pawtique. Following are the terms and conditions that constitute our Shipping Policy.

What are your expected delivery times over Christmas?

Make sure to order your Christmas products before 16th December to receive them before Christmas. Orders placed over the festive period are expected to have longer delivery times. For orders placed between 16th December and 7th January please expect delivery to take three weeks (sometimes longer), this is to allow for the busy time of year and holidays for staff.

Shipment processing time

Most orders placed on weekdays before 3.30pm will be processed by us the same working day. All orders are processed by us within 1-2 business days.
We use a delivery service who aims to get your parcels to you within one week. Please allow seven working days for delivery after your order has been processed. 

Orders are not processed, shipped or delivered on weekends or holidays. Holidays are always a busy time that increases traffic and delivery times. Please allow for extra delivery time if placing orders on these key days.

If we are experiencing a high volume of orders, shipments may be delayed by a few days. Please allow additional days in transit for delivery. If there will be a significant delay in shipment of your order, we will contact you via email.
