CHRISTMAS DELIVERY -
Please allow ample time for orders shipped with our standard postal service to be delivered before contacting us for support, once the mail is in the international mail shipping system we have to just wait for delivery to take place. If your order was shipped from mid November to December 23rd, please allow your local post office time to deliver. If your order was for more than one item it might be too large for the mail box, please double check with your postal worker for any larger parcels they might have attempted to deliver.
Orders to the UK over £50 will now be sent via DPD 2 day service to get to you for Christmas and orders over $120 to the USA and Canada will be sent with UPS. European Orders over €150 will be sent with UPS or An Post tracked. This will be upgraded as standard and tracking will be provided. All other mail will go through the local network and be delivered by your local post office. If you need something urgently, please email the office for support.
At Slugs & Snails we aim to deliver your parcel as soon as possible. We cannot guarantee same day postage but will always aim to post next working day after your order is placed. Standard international mail takes two working days to leave Ireland onto delivery cargo so please take this into account if you need something urgently.
Some of our children's tights orders come in our Slugs & Snails boxes and some come in standard hanging packaging. If you would like the items sent as a gift, we are happy to include a gift card and we can also wrap your gift for €1.00 using our high quality wrapping paper. We will confirm your order by email within 24 hours and you will receive an "order complete" email when your order has shipped. PLEASE NOTE, EMAILS TO HOTMAIL AND GMAIL MAIL SERVERS CAN SOMETIMES BE FILTERED INTO SPAM AND JUNK FOLDERS, PLEASE CHECK FOR YOUR CONFIRMATION EMAILS IN THESE FOLDERS.

TRACKING YOUR MAIL
Please note that items sent via our standard shipping terms of free shipping are sent using our international bulk mail service through An Post. These will then be sent through your local postal network. For orders within the EU no customs or tracking data is uploaded and you will not receive any tracking data. European post and some UK orders will be delivered by your local post office we aim to dispatch within one to two working days and the shipment is then past over to international mail services Europe can take 5-10 working days depending on your location. Please note we can not make ground shipping services move faster in order to keep our shipping cost’s affordable for all our customers we do sometimes have to use ordinary mail services which are not as fast as courier. Please advise us if your order is urgent and we will look for faster shipping options for you.
For orders to the UK and USA we will complete your customs documents when your parcel is being shipped. This will make sure your parcel isn't held back at customs. You will receive a tracking number starting with UA followed by a series of numbers. We can not track these numbers as they are an internal tracking for the post office but it's also part of your customs clearance.
If you receive a tracking number with CA followed by numbers that is a trackable shipment sent with An Post. We will sometimes upgrade shipping to these tracking services where possible depending on location.
