The £5.99 flat rate delivery charge on our website is just a set postage fee and the true value of the postage costs is incorporated into the price of the items purchased.

Chargeback Claims

**Important information**

This should only be done as a last resort by you the buyer, and you must first bring any issue that you may have with a item or order to our attention in writing first and give us a reasonable timeframe to resolve the issue.
customers who just go ahead and open a chargeback claim without giving us the opportunity to resolve any issue first will be subject to a fee £60+ VAT charge (For our time challenging the dispute with your bank and for us having to provide documentation evidence to challenge the dispute)
**Examples below**
1) Falsely claiming an item wasn’t delivered when courier tracking Information clearly shows the item as being delivered to the correct delivery address.
2) Falsely claiming a item is damaged when it isn’t to avoid paying the return postage costs.
3) Falsely claiming a item isn’t as described.
4) Falsely claiming that parts are missing, items such as parrot cages are all checked before dispatch by us so no parts are ever missing.
If a chargeback claim is ever opened for one of the above reasons a fee of £60+ VAT will be passed onto the buyer plus the total value of the chargeback claim, if this happens we will invoice you for the amount and if the invoice isn’t paid within 3 working days this debt will be enforced with court action to recover the debt and obviously this will subject to court fees as well.
