Frequently Asked Questions
Where do you deliver to?
The 'Where We Deliver' page lists all the countries we deliver to. If your destination country is not listed either call our helpline on 01257 424241 or contact us via the contact page. We will check if there are any restrictions to us delivering and if there are none we will add the country to the list.
How soon do I need to place my order?
Ideally you would place your order approximately 1 month in advance of your arrival date in resort but not less than 14 days before arrival in resort.
If your departure is less than 14 days we would need to issue a short departure code after checking we could deliver in time.
We are going on holiday in less than 14 days. Can you deliver?
Please contact us via 01257 424241 or via the contact form on the web site stating your destination country, date and time of arrival and postal area code or nearest town.
In order to process your order in time you will need a short departure code from us which we will issue when we are sure we can fulfil your request.
This code needs to be entered into the short departure code box at checkout.
How do I know my parcel will arrive?
We know this is a worry for most parents, but let us reassure you.
Your parcels,personally addressed to you, are with our courier UPS at all times from leaving our depot, until arrival at your holiday destination and the parcels are tracked on-line 24 hours a day.
We have an excellent record with our delivery times and have many repeat customers happy with our service.
Realistically, there is more chance of your suitcase going missing or arriving late than our parcels failing to arrive.
How do I know my parcel will arrive undamaged?
All our parcels are securely packaged, we wrap each jar in bubble wrap and all milk cartons are packed in individual boxes.
Our parcels travel by cargo plane and as such are not subjected to the low temperatures experienced in the hold of domestic planes.
Jars and milk cartons packed in domestic suitcases are at high risk of cracking or leaking.
How can I track my parcel?
When your order has been processed by us and forwarded to our couriers for collection you will receive an e-mail confirming your parcel tracking number and a link directly to the web site where your parcel can be tracked on line.
We monitor parcels continuously and are able to respond to any problems as they arise.
What are your service charges?
If you click on your chosen destination country on the home page of the web site, scroll down and click on charges, then the service charges will be displayed.
Service charges are calculated according to destination country and weight of products ordered.
All our charges include personally shopping for your products, packaging them securely and delivering to your requested destination.
All charges include Customs charges and VAT when applicable.
There are no hidden charges.
Can I order a product not on your site?
We will try to fulfil specific requests, please contact us via the contact form on the web site or ring 01257 424241 to discuss.
Can you deliver to a boat?
Yes we are able to deliver to a boat. We need to have the mooring number and the name of the boat also the address of the Port Authority office and a telephone number for yourselves which will be in use during your holiday.
When I go to products there is no add to basket facility, what is the problem?
This is usually because you have failed to enter the destination country into the destination box.
It may also occur if you have started an order and then left it for a period of more than 24 hours. You may need to start your order again.
I have a discount code, how do I use it?

The USA does not appear in your list of destinations, do you deliver there?
Unfortunately after careful consideration the USA is not a destination we can deliver to.
Our unaccompanied parcels would be considered high risk, as they are likely to contain Baby Milk and Baby Food and could be delayed by up to three separate federal agencies before delivery which would likely result in delays.
As delivery of our packages is of paramount importance we can not take the chance of being unable to fulfil our high service expectations.
