FAQs

Shipping & Delivery

Where do you ship? The United Kingdom only, including Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Isle of Man and the Channel Islands. We do not currently ship outside the UK.

How much does shipping cost? Nothing. Free delivery on every UK order, with no minimum spend and no thresholds.

How long will my order take to arrive? Your order arrives within 5–7 working days. That is the full window from placing your order to it landing on your doormat — 1–2 working days for us to pick and pack, then 3–5 working days in transit.

Deliveries to the Highlands, Islands and offshore addresses can take an extra 1–2 working days.

Can I track my order? Yes, every order is tracked at no extra cost. Your tracking number arrives by email as soon as your parcel leaves us. Tracking can take up to 24 hours to show its first scan, which is normal.

Who delivers my parcel? Royal Mail or Evri, depending on your postcode and parcel size.

When is my order dispatched? Within 1–2 working days, Monday to Friday. Orders placed at the weekend or on a bank holiday start processing the next working day. You will get an email with tracking when it goes.

What if my parcel is lost or delayed? If tracking has not moved for more than five working days, email us with your order number and we will chase the carrier for you. A parcel is treated as lost 12 working days after dispatch, at which point we send a replacement or issue a full refund — your choice.

What if my parcel arrives damaged? Photograph it before opening where you can, and email us within 48 hours of delivery. We will replace it or refund you, at no cost to you.

Returns & Refunds

Can I return an item? Yes. You have 30 days from delivery to start a return. Items need to come back unused, unwashed, with tags attached and in a condition we could reasonably resell.

How do I return something? Email us first at contact@joyfulloom.com — please don't post anything back before getting in touch.

We will reply within one working day with the return address and a return reference. Parcels that arrive unannounced sit unidentified in the post room, which delays your refund by weeks, so one email genuinely saves you time.

Quite often we can sort the problem without a return at all.

Who pays for return postage? If the item is faulty, damaged or not what you ordered, we cover it. If you have simply changed your mind, you cover the postage. We recommend a tracked service and keeping proof of postage — until the parcel reaches us it remains your responsibility.

How long does a refund take? Within 5 working days of your return reaching us, back to your original payment method. Your bank may take a further 3–5 working days to show it.

Since delivery was free, nothing is deducted — you get the full price you paid for the item.

What if my item is faulty? Email us with photographs. Under the Consumer Rights Act you have 30 days for a full refund on faulty goods, and up to six months for a repair or replacement. We never ask you to pay return postage on a faulty item.

Do you do exchanges? Not formally, because it is slower for you. Return the item for a refund and place a new order — that way your replacement ships straight away instead of waiting for your return to arrive. If you would rather exchange, email us and we will arrange it.

Is there anything you can't take back? For hygiene reasons we cannot accept opened dummy clips, unwrapped teething products, or anything that has been washed or used. This does not apply if the item is faulty or arrived damaged.

Products & Safety

What age are your products suitable for? Age guidance is on each product page where it applies. Always supervise children during play.

Are your products safe? Our products meet UK safety standards for children's products. Age guidance and safety warnings are given on the product page where they apply.

Can my baby sleep with a soft toy? No. Keep soft toys, comforters and cushions out of the cot while your baby is sleeping unattended, in line with Lullaby Trust safer sleep guidance. Our soft toys are for supervised play and cuddles.

What should I check as my child grows? Check seams, attachments and fastenings from time to time, especially once a baby starts chewing, and stop using an item if anything works loose.

Will the colour match the photos exactly? Very close, but not always identical. Screens vary, and natural materials such as cotton and yarn differ slightly from piece to piece. Small variations in colour and texture are normal.

Are the measurements exact? They are approximate and taken by hand. Soft toys in particular vary a little depending on how the filling settles.

Orders & Payment

What payment methods do you accept? All major credit and debit cards, through our secure payment processor.

Can I cancel or change my order? Email us as soon as possible. If your order has not yet been dispatched we can amend or cancel it and refund you in full, usually the same day. Once it has gone, wait for it to arrive and start a return — a parcel refused at the door takes far longer to get back to us.

Will I be charged customs or import taxes? No. All prices include UK VAT where applicable, and nothing further is collected on delivery.

What if there's a pricing error? Errors happen occasionally. We reserve the right to correct pricing, descriptions and availability at any time. If it affects an order you have placed, we will contact you by email or phone before doing anything.

Privacy & Data

How is my personal information used? To process and deliver your order, handle any return, manage your account, and — only with your consent — send you promotional updates. Full details are in our Privacy Policy.

Do you collect children's data? No. Our products are made for children, but our website and services are directed at adults. We do not knowingly collect personal data from anyone under 16.

Can I opt out of marketing emails? Yes, at any time — use the unsubscribe link in any marketing email, or email us. You will still receive service emails about an order you have placed.

How do I access or delete my data? Under UK GDPR you can access, correct or request erasure of your personal data. Email contact@joyfulloom.com and we will respond within one month.
