All goods are dispatched through Royal Mail using their 48 Tracked Service or their 24 Tracked Service. Royal Mail aim to complete a delivery in a 2/3 day time frame.

It is your responsibility to collect within the time frames of the postal service. Failure to collect will result in the package being returned to Barking Bags and an additional postage cost will need to be made before the package can be resent. When you make a purchase through the Barking Bags website, at checkout it is possible to leave a note to specify a safe place where the goods could be left but you do this at your own risk.

Buyers are responsible for any customs and import taxes that may apply as these fees are applied by your local customs office.  Barking Bags cannot be held responsible for delays due to customs.

Barking Bags accept cancellations up to seven working days after the day on which you place your order.

If you have received the goods before you cancel your order then you must send the goods back to our contact address at your own cost and risk. If you cancel your order but we have already processed the goods for delivery, you should not unpack the goods when they are received by you and you must send the goods back to us at our contact address at your own cost and risk as soon as possible.
