UK DELIVERY
Standard delivery is free on all orders to mainland UK.
Orders placed on a standard delivery service will be dispatched within 1-3 working days and then delivered within 1-4 working days. Orders will be sent with either DPD or Royal Mail.
DPD Policy:
On the day of your delivery, DPD will send a notification via text/email to confirm your 1 hour delivery time slot. There will need to be someone present at the address to sign for the parcel, if no-one will be available you will have various options on your DPD notification email such as rearranging your delivery or leaving in a safe place. If there is no one available to sign for your parcel and no information has been supplied to DPD, a calling card will be left with instructions on how to proceed. If you encounter any issues regarding your DPD delivery please contact our customer service team who will do their best to assist.
Royal Mail Policy:
It is standard Royal Mail policy to return packages to the local Royal Mail sorting office if the recipient is unable to sign for a delivery. If this is the case, you will receive a Royal Mail calling card with instructions on how to collect your parcel or rearrange delivery. If your parcel is not collected or redelivery arranged within 3 weeks Royal Mail will return the package to us. In the unlikely event that you do not receive your parcel, please contact our customer services team quoting your order number using the form at the bottom of this page or send us a message on Whatsapp +44 7849 462 345.

RETURNS
UK Returns
Silk & Sapphire hopes that you will be completely satisfied with your purchase, however, if you wish to return any goods they must be returned within 14 days of receiving the order for a refund or exchange. The returned goods must be in their original condition, unworn, with all tags and labels attached. All garments must be free of fragrance and cosmetic or other marks.
Please ensure that your original invoice or completed returns form are included in the parcel with your item(s). Please note, if your invoice or completed returns form are not included in your parcel, this could result in a delay to your exchange/refund.
Please be sure to retain your receipt from the Post Office as this will act as proof of postage if the parcel is delayed or lost. We are not liable for any lost returns if a tracking number and proof of postage cannot be provided.
To start a return, you can contact us at silkandsapphire@outlook.com. Please note that returns will need to be sent to the following address: Silk & Sapphire, 36 Chatley St, Cheetham Hill, Manchester, M3 1HX
If your return is accepted, we will send you a return shipping label, as well as instructions on how and where to send your package. Please note this is not a free returns label, you will not incur a fee at the Post Office, however, if you use the label we will deduct £4.00 from your refund total.
If you have placed a large order you may receive multiple black postal bags to return any unwanted items. If you are returning multiple parcels you will be charged per label used. Large orders can be returned in the larger original box, however, some Post Offices may not accept this.
Any returns can also be returned with a courier of your choice to the below address. If you choose to use your own postage no deduction will be taken from your refund.
Alternatively, you can return the item to our store free of charge once your return is accepted.
