Shipping & Returns
Shop orders
We are currently building our website - orders can be shipped once products are launched.
We aim to ship all orders from our shop within 3-5 days of payment receipt, excluding weekends, unless stated otherwise on the website.
Orders are usually dispatched via Royal Mail for the UK (We currently only ship to the UK) and we are not responsible for any delays that they experience. Postage in the UK for FINDS BOXES and COLOURING BUNDLES is FREE and sent via 2nd class, tracked Royal Mail. Our JUNIOR ARCHAEOLOGIST KIT has a standard UK only rate of £3.50 (Free over £50) tracked Royal Mail 3-7 working days.
All orders are made and dispatched from the UK.
Uncollected or refused boxes
In the event that Royal Mail cannot deliver your product, it will be returned to your local delivery office. Royal Mail will hold your item for 14 days and then return it to us. We are not responsible for shipping these products out again. If you wish the product to be sent out you will need to contact us and pay for the postage.
If your package is returned to us - because it was addressed incorrectly, you are responsible for the cost of resending the package out again to you.

What is your refund policy?
We offer refunds for any unshipped shipments.
Our returns and refund policy lasts 30 days. If 30 days have gone by since your purchase, unfortunately, we can’t offer you a refund or exchange.

If a Finds Box is unopened, there is no need to pay for postage, just cross the address out and write ‘Return to sender’. To return another product, you should email us for a receipt of postage and we will refund you upon receipt of the product, providing you meet the requirements of our refund policy.
To be eligible for a return, your item must be unused and in the same condition that you received it. It must also be in the original packaging.
