CAN I ORDER FROM OVERSEAS?

Yes! We ship all over the world. When you input your address during checkout the appropriate shipping charge will be shown. We use DHL to ship all international orders. This is to ensure a prompt and smooth delivery.

IF YOU ARE IN THE EUROPEAN UNION

You will be charged VAT at the point of sale on our website. This rate is dependent on which country you are in. This is called a Delivery Duty Paid rate and once the parcel is on its way with DHL, you will not be charged any duty or further VAT upon delivery.

DHL will contact you to pay this.  All orders on this site will be charged in British Pounds Sterling and the UK VAT is automatically deducted from your cart.

Worldwide fast delivery with DHL Express

When you choose Express delivery by DHL, your order will be sent with the On Demand Delivery (ODD) Service. If you are in the EU you have the option to ship with DHL Economy Select, which is by road rather than by air.

Once your order is shipped, you will receive a shipping notification from DHL EXPRESS.

DHL ODD notifies you by email and/or SMS about your shipment’s progress and estimated delivery date/time. When this date does not fit your schedule, you can customize your delivery via DHL ODD and decide how, where and when the delivery takes place at the time and location that suits you best.

DO I NEED TO OPEN AN ACCOUNT TO ORDER GOODS?

You don’t need to open an account with us prior to shopping on the website. Payments are securely handled by PayPal and if you don’t have a PayPal account you can pay safely by card without registering with PayPal or by using Stripe. By opening an account with us this will save your billing and shipping details and make future purchases a faster process.

WHY HAS MY CARD BEEN DECLINED?
Your bank will be able to let you know why your card has been declined.
WHAT PAYMENT METHODS DO YOU ACCEPT?

Visa Debit, Visa Credit, MasterCard, American Express and most major credit/debit cards using Stripe. We do not accept Bank transfers for payment.

HOW DO I KNOW WHEN MY ORDER HAS BEEN RECEIVED?
An email will automatically be sent to you as the order is processed, then you will receive another when your order has been dispatched.
HOW MUCH DOES SHIPPING COST?

UK CUSTOMERS

A Royal Mail rate calculator will automatically update your shipping costs at checkout. We send all small parcels up to 2kg via Royal Mail. Once the parcel is heavier than 2kg then DHL will be used.

INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS

We send all international orders via DHL. This is in order to secure a fully trackable and prompt delivery.

The cost is based on volumetric weight, so the heavier and bulkier your items the more the cost.

CAN I HAVE FREE POSTAGE?

We all like free postage and we have considered offering it but the costs would have to be absorbed somewhere else (i.e. the price of the clothes going up). This is a genuine charge that we have to pay and therefore we have no alternative other than to ask you to contribute to this cost. We may run promotions on occasion offering free shipping, to be the first to know about these please sign up to our newsletter.

WHAT DO I DO IF THERE IS A PROBLEM WITH MY ORDER?

Please contact weborders@campbellsofbeauly.com and we will respond to you as soon as possible. 

CAN I ADD AN ITEM TO MY ORDER AFTER I HAVE PLACED MY ORDER?

 

Unfortunately not, you will need to place a separate order for anything else that you wish to purchase. If you have contacted us in time, we can add the two orders together and refund you the 2nd postage cost.

WHAT HAPPENS IF I CANCEL AN ORDER PRIOR TO DESPATCH?

We will issue you a full refund including the P&P so long as we have not already dispatched the order. If you have recently placed an order with us and wish to cancel it, please email us as soon as possible at shop@campbellsofbeauly.com quoting your order reference number, the date the order was placed, your name and post-code.

MY ORDER IS MISSING AN ITEM OR CONTAINS AN INCORRECT ITEM, WHAT SHOULD I DO?

We are very sorry about this error. Please contact us at shop@campbellsofbeauly.com and we will investigate this matter for you and makes things right.

HOW DO I RETURN GOODS?

Please fill out the returns form enclosed in your package as this will help speed up the process. Any comments regarding the reason for the return are greatly appreciated.

UK RETURNS

Please return your parcel to us in it’s original packaging for a full refund. The customer is responsible for the cost of the return postage.

If you are returning goods from outside the UK please read the following carefully:

OVERSEAS RETURNS

Please return your parcel to us in it’s original packaging for a full refund. The customer is responsible for the cost of the return postage.

Many items that are returned to us get held up at customs due to incorrect labelling resulting in substantial customs charges and in some cases goods being returned to the sender (you). This often occurs to items coming back from the U.S.; we are unable to accept, or refund, any such costs associated with return goods levied by customs or carriers. Please label both the outside of the package and the airway bill with the following phrase: ‘BRITISH RETURN GOODS’ This is very important as it prevents you, the customer, being charged with any import duty or tax on goods that are simply being returned to the UK for exchange or refund.

MY ORDER DID NOT GO THROUGH BUT I THINK YOU HAVE CHARGED ME?
We will of course be happy to rectify any problems that occurred during the order process. If you suspect that something has gone wrong please get in touch with us as soon as possible and provide as much information as you can. If you received an email receipt from PayPal please forward this with any correspondence. If you didn’t receive a PayPal receipt but think you may have been charged please check your PayPal and/or bank statement to verify this prior to getting in touch.
HOW LONG MIGHT A REFUND TAKE?

Once we have received the returned item/s the PayPal or Stripe account or card used for the purchase will be credited with the cost of the goods. Please make sure you send any returns via registered post with proof of posting for your own peace of mind. Your credit card company will typically take 4-7 working days to process the refund.

HOW DO I EXCHANGE GOODS?

As a small retailer we do not hold great quantities of stock and so the fastest way to secure the item you need is to place a new order. Place a NEW order for the correct size or colour required and return your original purchase to us.

WHY DON’T YOU ALWAYS OFFER FREE RETURNS WHEN MOST OF YOUR COMPETITORS DO?

We are a small family run business and at this time we do not offer free returns. It is a subject that we constantly review and discuss internally.

WHAT SIZE AM I?

All of our products should have a size chart with simple measurements to compare. Please be aware that knitwear will vary in size according to style so please do pay attention to the size charts. The measurements have been taken with the garment laid flat on a table and using a tape measure to take basic measurements as per the image below. Top of the garment to the bottom, armpit to armpit of the garment, and inner sleeve length.

 

WHAT IF MY GOODS ARE FAULTY?

In the unlikely event that the product is faulty on arrival, incorrect or damaged in transit, please notify us immediately. 

I AM UNSURE ABOUT THE COLOUR OF AN ITEM?

We have tried to reflect as best as possible the true colours in our garments by using a professional photographer. We have what we feel is the best image to colour match the garment. Tweed and yarn do show differently in different lights, part of the beauty of it! If you are unsure about this please contact us.

HOW SECURE IS YOUR WEBSITE?
