• Orders received by 3pm Monday to Friday (excluding Bank Holidays) will be dispatched the same day.
• We care about the environment and your order. All the packaging we use is biodegradable and FSC ® certified. Whenever possible, parcels are sent out in boxes that have been used before. These 'second-life' boxes are still sturdy and as good as new, so why throw them away when they can be used again?
• Any out of stock items will be placed on back order and dispatched as soon as they become available. This will not delay the rest of your order.
• You will only ever be charged once for delivery, no matter how many parcels your order is sent in.
• Direct Delivery (DD) products are dispatched direct from the supplier. These items may take longer than standard items and will arrive in a separate parcel. We do not have control over the stock of DD products and cannot guarantee that they are in stock at the supplier. DD products are not available for Next Day or Choose the Day delivery as we do not control their dispatch.
• Most orders are delivered between 9am and 5pm, Monday to Friday (excluding bank holidays). If you are unlikely to be in to sign for the parcel, please specify a safe, dry place where we can leave it using the box provided in the checkout. If you do not specify a place to leave your parcel, our courier will try to find a safe place to leave it. If no safe dry place is available, a card will be left and you will be able to arrange a re-delivery.
• Alternatively you can now specify if you would like your delivery signed for, by using the box in the checkout.
• We do not deliver to P.O. Boxes.
• If you pay by credit or debit card, we will not take any money until the item is ready to be dispatched. This excludes Direct Delivery (DD) items which will be charged shortly after your order is placed and in advance of their dispatch.
• If you have any questions or queries regarding your order, please email our customer care team at shopping@rspb.org.uk, or call us on 0345 034 7733.

• The cut-off time for orders for Next Day delivery is 3pm.
• Orders placed before 3pm Monday-Friday will be processed that day and delivered on the next working day.
