Delivery

We Ship Worldwide! - Please read down the page to see all our options and terms for shipping.


Brexit Impact on Customs charges: if you are buying from us and are based abroad you may be charged customs duties by your government.

All charges to do with importing goods are the responsibility of the customer. We don't have any control over customs charges levied by governments around the world on the importation of goods. 

Every country has its own specific rates for duties and it's worth frequenting the possible charges you may incur as a result of buying goods from an international seller.  Please be aware your delivery timeframe may be affected by custom clearance, in some cases the package can take up to 30 days to be cleared through customs.  It is the customers responsibility to contact the shipping company or customs department directly for assistance with customs clearance. 

Please note, any order that's declined/refused delivery by the receiver due to a customs charge reason will only get refunded on the successful return of the item to us and we will refund the full order amount minus any customs charges or return postage fees and the initial postage payment (if any) applied to the shipment that we have to pay as a result of you refusing the order.


Delivery Information

All our items are sent from the United Kingdom by DHL, Deutsche Post and Royal Mail tracked & signed for delivery services. 

Worldwide orders are sent by DHL Express International Tracked & Signed For service. All services require a signature upon delivery, someone should be at the delivery address to receive the item.

It is the responsibility of the buyer to make sure that the address has been entered fully and correctly at checkout. Once an order has been placed we are unable to change the delivery address due to strict shipping schedule. Please double-check the address you are entering as we will NOT be held responsible for packages that are sent to the wrong address that the buyer has entered.  If delivery has been unsuccessful or the order has been refused and is being returned to the sender, we will be in contact with you via email once received to discuss redelivery or a refund.  Refunds or replacements cannot be offered until the parcel has arrived back at the Foxy Locks warehouse.

DHL do not deliver to P.O Box addresses. If you have entered a P.O box or Military base address, you will be contacted prior to dispatch.

Most items (depending on stock) are shipped within 1 to 3 working days of receiving payment. This dispatch time does not include ‘pre order’ items. Pre Orders will have a different estimated dispatch time which can be found on each individual item listing.  All Pre Order release dates are approximate and a guide only, therefore subject to change. 

If your order is of a high value (£350 or higher), your order must be dispatched with DHL Express shipping and High Value Insurance. Any order over the value of £350 and standard shipping has been selected cannot be processed or dispatched.  Our team will contact you prior to dispatch to arrange payment for your upgrade and insurance.   Your order will not be dispatched until payment is received. 

We cannot guarantee that you will or will not be charged any customs taxes. Any customs or import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.

Order Amendments

Should you wish to change your order after making it but before dispatch please note the following timescale:

Orders placed via an Express services (Royal Mail UK Next Day or DHL) Express have 30 minutes from placing their order to amend/cancel. Orders placed via a standard service have an hour to amend/cancel.

If you do not contact us in this timescale, we can't confirm your order will not of already been dispatched as we have several collections for orders throughout the day. We will try and assist you and if possible we will help but once you have placed your order please do note that once dispatched we can't do anything further in terms of changing or amending orders.

DHL Important Information for On-Demand Delivery.

Our shipping partner, DHL, offers you the flexibility to make changes to your delivery while it’s on its way to you using DHL On-Demand Delivery (ODD). Whether you need to schedule a delivery for another day or remove the signature requirement, ODD makes it easy for you.

Once your order has left us and is with DHL, they will contact you via SMS and/or email to let you know when to expect the delivery. If ODD is available in your location, this message will also contain a link to the ODD site. All you need is your tracking (shipment waybill) number.

Here are a few options you can select to customize your delivery:

Schedule Your Delivery

If your estimated delivery date doesn’t suit, you have the option to select another date within 5 working days.

Where available, you’ll also be able to select a timed window to receive your order.


Signature Release

If you’d prefer not to sign for your delivery, you can remove the signature requirement. Please note that if you choose to remove this, FOXY LOCKS Ltd and DHL cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage that may occur once your order has been delivered. We do not recommend removing this feature.

Leave With Neighbour

Request for your order to be left with your neighbour by providing DHL with their house number and any further instructions. Please note that if you select this option, FOXY LOCKS Ltd and DHL cannot be held responsible for any loss or damage that may occur once your order has been delivered.

Collection from a DHL Service Point or Parcel Locker

If you won’t be in for your delivery, you can choose to pick this up from DHL Service Point.

DHL ODD will show you the nearest DHL Service Points, so you can select which one works best for you. They’ll then contact you to let you know when it’s ready to collect and how long you have to pick up your delivery. Please note that if the parcel is not collected within this timeframe, it’ll be sent back to the DHL depot.

To collect your parcel from a DHL Service Point you’ll need to bring two forms of ID:

A photographic ID (e.g. passport or driving license)
Your email/SMS notification from DHL

In the UK, you can also select an InPost Locker to pick up your order from. When your order is ready to collect, DHL will provide you with a key code by email and/or SMS which you’ll need to collect your parcel. They’ll also let you know how long you have to pick up your purchase.


Vacation Hold

Still on vacation? You can request DHL to hold your delivery for up to 30 calendar days for you.

Where available, you’ll also be able to select a timed window to receive your delivery.


Foxy Locks delivery claims

If you have not received your order, and dispute delivery you are able to raise a claim if required. Claims can be raised for missing parcels, or ‘denial of receipt’.

Lost/Missing shipments

If your shipment has been lost in transit, Foxy Locks can raise a claim on the recipient behalf. Claims can be opened 20 days after the estimated due delivery date. Unfortunately we are unable to raise a claim for shipments that are older than 4 months or 30 days if shipped via DHL express. This time is from the date of original dispatch.

‘Denial of receipt’ claims

If your shipment shows as ‘delivered’ and you have not received your order, please let us know. On occasions delivery may be made to your neighbour (not necessarily the property next to, or directly opposite you), so please check with all possible neighbours before contacting us. If you cannot locate your shipment we will raise an investigation on the recipients behalf, and once instructed to do so a claim will be filed. Foxy Locks will continue to update you throughout the claims/investigation process where possible. 

If you wish to dispute the delivery status of your order you will need to collect a Dispute Form from your local post authority, complete it and then scan & send to us so that we can then file a claim on your behalf. Without that Dispute Form we cannot assist further, and orders scanned & marked as delivered will be considered as completed. 

Claims processing time

For UK/International DHL Express shipments the approximate time for investigations is 14 working days (times may vary depending on each individual claim and therefore may take longer). Following the investigation period, the claim processing times are an additional 14 working days approximately.

For DHL standard International (Deutsche Post) shipments, the investigation process takes approximately 10 working days (time may vary depending on each individual claim and therefore may take longer). Following the investigation period, the claim processing times are an additional 8 weeks approximately. On occasions further information may be required from you - the customer. If you dispute the delivery status of your order you will be required to collect a Dispute form from your local authority, complete the form, scan & send back to us. Unfortunately without the form a claim cannot be made and orders scanned & marked as delivered will be considered as complete. 

Please be assured Foxy Locks are here to help, and we will support our customers throughout the claim process. Due to the current pandemic, please note that the postal services are operating a reduced service and therefore claim processing times may take longer than usual.

If your shipment was delivered by Royal Mail, the claims processing time is approximately 30 days for UK shipments, or 90 days for International shipments. 

Unfortunately we cannot refund you or replace the goods until the claim has been finalised and the shipment is declared as lost.
