Discount codes must be applied at the time of checkout. If you forget to apply the code or the code doesn't apply for some reason, price adjustments/refunds/credits will not be issued. If you are having issues with applying a discount code, please contact us prior to checking out.

DHL Express shipments are handled by DHL the entire journey and you will be able to track your shipment on their website.

Any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country (and each country has its own thresholds for imports).

UK orders under £135 have VAT collected at checkout. Orders over this value are charged VAT on import prior to delivery. Please note that we cannot estimate any other duties applicable.

From the 1st July 2021 the European Union's VAT threshold of €22 was removed and VAT is now applicable on all orders. Please note that we DO NOT collect this at checkout and it will be charged on import and will be payable prior to delivery of your order (some carriers may charge fees for the facilitation of this collection).

Any import fees, taxes or duties are the responsibility of the recipient and must be paid by the recipient of the parcel. BIG & LITTLE DOGS is not liable for any of these fees.

If you do refuse to pay the fees that are charged and the order is returned to us, any fees that are applicable for the return of the parcel to us will be deducted from the refund of your order (please note original shipping fees cannot be refunded either).

Also note, as a registered business we are unable to ship international orders as a ‘gift’ and all shipments must be declared as ‘merchandise’.

2. We cannot be liable for any loss or damage incurred by any person as a result of delay caused by our carrier that we have no control over or by any event which is out of our reasonable control or foresight including but not limited to any delay caused by an incorrect delivery address being provided to us.

3. Dispatch and delivery times do not include weekends or public holidays.

4. International orders do not include customs or duties; you may be liable for these once the parcel reaches its destination country. We cannot advise of the possible customs or duties you may be responsible for.

5. You must ensure that you have provided the correct address for delivery. Once your order is processed; we are unable to change the shipping address. It is the buyer's responsibility to ensure that this is correct. We are unable to give refunds, if we are supplied with an incorrect address. If a re-shipment of the order is required because of an incorrect address (once an order is returned to us for this reason), the buyer will be responsible for additional shipping costs.
