Delivery & dispatches:

There are various options through courier companies for re-arranging delivery if the first attempt has not been successful. You are advised to select the option for delivery which allows you or someone else to be at your address to sign for your package if you are not going to be there, to avoid the need for re-delivery where possible.
Please note that certain delivery options may be subject to alternative delivery charges, restrictions and or timescales. If delivery cannot be made to a customer due to the customer not being present at the address at the time allotted by the carrier, or if any customer refuses to accept the products on delivery, Le Tricoteur Guernsey Ltd reserves the right to charge the cost for returning products to the relevant Le Tricoteur Guernsey Ltd returns centre for the order.
Holiday deliveries:
Please note during national holiday periods (Easter / Christmas / Bank Holidays) delivery and dispatch will be slower. Our warehouse and all Courier services also deserve a break with their families and often we rely on a skeleton staff of eager beavers.

Delivery Problems
Failure to deliver:
Any failure to deliver, or very late delivery far exceeding expected delivery times during fine weather must be reported to our Customer service team as soon as possible.
No claims notified to us more than thirty (30) calendar days from the date of confirmation of your order will be taken into account.
This does not include missed attempted deliveries
Where the supply of your product(s) is delayed or prevented for reasons beyond our control (for example; higher than anticipated demand / or customer error in delivery address / or we have had all freight cut off due to bad weather – we are a small island after all, with no road services linking us to the mainland) we will make every effort to keep you informed but shall be under no liability to you for such delay or failure. For the avoidance of doubt, this paragraph does not exclude or effect in any way any statutory right that you have to cancel an order when a product is delayed or not provided.
We offer a signed on delivery and tracked service via Guernsey Post for orders up to 2kg to mainland UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey & Jersey and/or DHL courier services including tracking for orders up to 5kg to mainland UK, Isle of Man, Guernsey and Jersey.
Deliveries to Europe and the rest of the world (ROW) are via DHL courier services including tracking for orders up to 5kg.
For all deliveries, we offer a door-to-door service and there must be someone at the address in normal working hours to receive the delivery. Sometimes a work address is a better option for this reason.
We will deliver the package to the address but not person-to-person, so please guarantee a trusted person will be there to receive the package.
