Packaging
Every item is carefully checked before dispatch and securely packaged using recyclable materials wherever possible, including sturdy cardboard boxes and protective packaging, to help ensure it arrives safely while minimising environmental impact.
Dispatch & Tracking
Orders are normally dispatched within 1–3 working days of purchase. Working days do not include weekends or UK bank holidays.
For example, an order placed on a Friday may not be dispatched until the following Tuesday.
If The Antique Forager is temporarily closed or dispatch times are longer than usual, this will be clearly displayed in the announcement banner at the top of our website.
Once your parcel has been dispatched, you will receive a confirmation email containing your tracking details. Tracking updates will be provided directly by Royal Mail or the relevant courier where available.
Please ensure your email address and mobile telephone number are entered correctly at checkout so that you can receive delivery updates.
Delivery
All orders are sent using a tracked delivery service.
Delivery times vary according to the destination, courier service and, for international orders, any customs processing.
Some delivery services may require a signature. Where available, you may be able to nominate a safe place or rearrange delivery directly with the courier.
If you have any questions about delivery before placing your order, please contact us at info@antiqueforager.com and we'll be happy to help.
