How quickly are orders dispatched?
We try our best to get all orders dispatched to you the same day, Any orders that come via the website before 2 pm will be posted the same day... Sometimes it will not be possible to get orders out on the same day, if it is not possible we will contact you. All orders will be posted by the delivery option chosen at the checkout, If you take our standard free delivery, we will post this out by Royal Mail 48 Tracked which means your order could take up to 7 working days to get to you. If you use Royal Mail 24 Tracked then your order could take up to 5 working days. We do not post any orders over the weekend or on bank holidays. Please also note that if you choose next-day delivery, this means that Royal Mail will deliver your order the following working day and by choosing next-day delivery you will not be entitled to quicker picking and packing as The Vaping Hamster does not offer such services.
I chose next day delivery... WHY ISNT MY ORDER HERE?
Well... That could be for a number of reasons, the chances are your order came through after 2 pm in which case your order will be dispatched the following working day, or it could be down to human error and we have made a mistake ourselves and posted via a different delivery method, it has happened before and will happen again and if this happens with your order you will be offered a refund on your postage... Another reason your order may not be there on time is that Royal Mail has a delay and if this is the case we would advise your to make a complaint to Royal Mail.
What other delivery options do you have?
We offer Royal Mail 48 Tracked and Royal Mail 24 Tracked as well as Royal Mail Next Day Guaranteed.
