Pickup points and lockers

When and how do I choose my pickup point or locker?

Select pickup delivery at checkout, then choose from the locations offered. Depending on the process, this choice is made after payment: follow the instructions in your order confirmation. Check the selected location’s address and opening hours before confirming.

Why is my usual pickup point not offered?

The list depends on locations open and available for your address and parcel. A point may be temporarily unavailable or unsuitable for the parcel size. Choose another offered location or home delivery if available. If the carrier redirects your parcel, check the updated address in its tracking information.

How and by when should I collect my parcel?

Wait for the carrier’s ready-for-collection notification and observe the deadline it specifies. Have your collection code or QR code ready and, where required, identification. Check opening hours before travelling. An uncollected parcel may be returned to us: contact us to arrange the next step.

Parcel tracking

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order is dispatched, you will receive an email with a tracking link. You can track your parcel in real time using the services of: Mondial Relay, Colissimo, Chronopost, DPD Home Delivery.

Why does my tracking link show no movement yet?

The link may be created before the carrier first scans the parcel. Check again after collection and use the link in your dispatch email. If tracking remains unchanged or the announced delivery time is exceeded, contact us with your order number.

What should I do if my parcel is delayed?

Check tracking and carrier messages first: they may show an attempted delivery, collection availability or an incident. Allow for working days and preparation time. If the announced estimate has passed or tracking is stuck, contact us with your order number and tracking link so we can investigate.

Receipt and support

What happens if I am not home when delivery takes place?

If you are unavailable, the carrier will leave a notice explaining how to collect your parcel, usually at the nearest post office or a pickup point.

What should I do if my order arrives damaged?

If you notice damage or any other problem on arrival, please contact us immediately with photos of the damaged parcel. We will do our best to resolve the issue.

What if I have not received my parcel but tracking says “Delivered”?

Please contact us promptly. We will open an investigation with the delivery service and do our best to resolve the issue.

Will my order arrive in discreet packaging?

Yes, your items are packed in a plain box without logos or details revealing the contents, at no extra charge. Read more on our discreet packaging page.

Address and options

Can I change my delivery address after placing an order?

Please contact us as soon as possible if you need to change your delivery address. We will do our best to help, but cannot guarantee changes once the order has been dispatched.

Why is a delivery option missing at checkout?

First check that your country, postcode and address are complete. Available options also depend on the destination, weight and type of items. Swords have a dedicated home delivery profile. The methods displayed after entering your address are those offered for your order. Contact us if no option appears.
