Contact us as quickly as you can with your order number and new address. If the order hasn't been dispatched yet, we should be able to make the change.

In your order history, there's a 'Reorder' button next to each item. Click it and it'll be added straight to your basket.

Unfortunately not. Only one discount code can be used per order. This also applies if you're redeeming reward points, as these are converted to a discount code, meaning you can't stack them with a separate promo code.

Enter your email in the newsletter pop-up or the signup box at the bottom of any page. We'll send you a verification email, once confirmed, your 10% discount code will come through by email.
