Please note that the confirmation email is not a contract confirmation or order acceptance from us. A contract between you and us for the sale of our products will only exist once your order has been processed and dispatched.
We take payment online in a secure environment by debit or credit card. We currently use third party payment service provider(s) to process all online transactions. For information about the measures that the service provider(s) have put in place to protect your security, please refer to their respective web site(s).
We no longer accept cheques or postal orders as payment.
Delivery
We will deliver products in accordance with your order. We make every effort to deliver the products within the expected timetable, however delays are sometimes inevitable due to unforeseen circumstances. We shall have no liability to you for any failure or delay in supply or delivery. Orders will be dispatched only upon receiving cleared payment.
Delivery costs:
For customers residing in the United Kingdom postage and packing is £2.95 per order. Orders are sent using Royal Mail first class post and orders over the value of £15.00 are sent by trackable means and will require a signature upon receipt. Orders over the value of £75.00 are eligible for free standard delivery anywhere in the UK.
If you require your order urgently we can arrange to have your order sent Special Delivery. The cost for his service is £5.95. Your order will arrive within one to three working days of placing your order with us.
A signature will be required and if there is no-one to sign, a calling card will be left which needs to be responded to within 48 hours. You can rearrange a delivery or pick the order up from your local sorting officet. It is the customers responsibility to contact Royal Mail and arrange collection/re-delivery. Christenings & Occasions accept no liability for failed deliveries if the customer is not available. If you fail to respond to a calling card a refund of the original postage will not be made.
Our Special Delivery service is available to U.K.residents only.

Orders are dispatched every day Monday to Friday - with the exclusion of bank holidays.
Orders sent within the U.K. usually arrive within 5 working days. For customers residing Europe, orders usually arrive within 7 working days, but please allow up to 14 working days.

We will contact you by e-mail to inform you that the order has been returned to us and keep it for you for 3 working days. If the order is still required return postage charges will be applied.
Order Cancellation and Returns
Cancellation Policy
Customers have the right to cancel any order within 7 days of the order being placed. If you wish to cancel your order please contact us at your earliest convenience and within seven days. We will cancel the order immediately on receiving notice, where possible. As orders are usually dispatched on the same day the order may have already left us and we would then refer you to our Returns Policy.
Returns Policy
We are a small family run business and not a large mail order company, so for us to process refunds and exchanges as efficiently as possible we ask that you adhere to the following instructions when wishing to return all or part of your order.
If for any reason you wish to return any of your unworn/unused items please e-mail us (sales@christeningsandoccasions.co.uk) within 7 days of receipt . Your returns should then be sent, along with your name, order number and details of whether you have arranged a refund or exchange to the address given on your invoice (this can also be found at the bottom of this page). We allow a further 7 days for you to post the items to us, giving you a total of 14 days from the date of receipt to return all or part of your order.
Please note items must be returned in their original condition and will be inspected upon return. We advise orders are sent back via a guaranteed delivery service, and your local Post Office will advise on the level of insurance you require or provide a ‘proof of posting certificate’ as we cannot be held liable for any goods lost in transit to us. The items are your responsibility until they reach us. Return postage costs are at the customers own expense.
Once your goods are accepted back you will be issued with an exchange (if requested and available) or refund. We can only refund by the original means of payment.
We'll refund standard delivery charge (£2.95)* on whole orders where you notify us, in writing (e-mail), within 7 days of receipt of your intention to cancel. If notification is received later than 7 days after receipt, then we'll refund the delivery charge only if the goods are damaged, faulty or incorrect. Where only part of an order is returned postage charges will not be refunded.
Notification of damaged, faulty or incorrect orders must be made as soon as possible after receipt and within 48 hours.
*Please note that customers who had selected Special Delivery or International signed for delivery, only our standard delivery charge (£2.95) only will be refunded on whole orders returned in these circumstances.
If you discover a fault with our product(s) please e-mail us as soon as possible after receiving your order and within 48 hours. Please return the item to us and we will either replace any product(s) that are damaged or defective upon delivery without extra cost to you; or refund to you the amount paid by you for the products in question. We will not, however, be liable to you for any loss of profits, administrative inconvenience, disappointment, indirect or consequential loss or damage arising out of any problem in relation to the products.
In any cases, we shall have no liability to pay any money to you by way of compensation other than any refund we make under these conditions. This does not affect your statutory rights as a consumer.
Orders that have been returned without prior contact, that are not in their original condition or have the incorrect amount of postage paid will not be refunded. In these circumstances we will contact you to return the order to you at your own expense.
No refunds will be made if we have not received wriiten notice to return orders within 7 days from the date of receipt.
All refunds will be made as soon as possible and within 30 days.
