Delivery FAQs


How will my order be delivered?
We send all orders out via Royal Mail or Parcel Force, depending upon your chosen service, the overall weight, value and destination of the order.  All of our deliveries require a signature.

Can I have items sent to a separate delivery address?
Yes.  Simply select ‘Add New Address’ from the dropdown menu once you have logged in or registered on the site.  Your card’s registered address must still match that of your billing address.  All of our deliveries require a signature.

Can I make a change to an order I have just placed?
In most cases we are unable to amend orders due to the speed at which they are processed.  However, please get in touch as soon as possible after placing the order, and providing that the order has not yet left us then we will do everything we can to help.

What is included in the postage charge?
Our postage charges reflect the cost of each delivery service as it is offered to us together with an amount to cover packing materials and the time taken for our staff to pick, pack and despatch your order.  In most cases our postage charges do not cover these costs entirely; as we prefer to remain competitive.  All of our postage charges include VAT at the standard rate.

Can I cancel or return my order?
Yes.  Under the Distance Selling Regulations (DSRs) you are entitled to a ‘cooling off’ period, meaning that you can cancel an order within seven working days, beginning from the day after you received the goods, providing that the goods conform to our returns policy.  You can do this by contacting us by telephone or email.  If the goods have not left our premises then the order will be cancelled without charge to your card.  If the goods have left our premises then you are responsible for the cost of returning them to us.  For more information on after-sales and returning an item please see our Returns section below.

How can I track my order?
Tracking information for your order can be found in your order despatch email, which we send out once your order has been packed ready for shipping.  Simply enter your Parcel Force or Royal Mail tracking number into the Royal Mail website to view its progress.  If you can’t see an email then please check your junk mail or spam settings and mark us as a safe sender.

What happens if I’m not in to receive my order?
All of our deliveries require a signature, but if you’re not available to sign for your order don’t worry, you should receive a card through the door with further details.  In the event that no card is present then the package will be held at your local Royal Mail delivery office. 

My order hasn’t arrived yet, where is it?
If your order hasn’t turned up when you were expecting it then first of all check that a card has not been left by the postal service.  Items should not have been left with a neighbour unless we have had your explicit permission to send to them.   The most common reasons for a delay in delivery are postal strikes or severe weather.
If you believe that your order is late or missing then please contact us as soon as possible and our customer service team will be happy to help.

Can you deliver to a BFPO address?
Yes.  Simply enter your BFPO address details as normal during checkout.

Can you deliver outside of the UK?
Yes.  We currently deliver to the following countries: Denmark, Netherlands, Sweden, Norway, Spain, Germany, Monaco, Greece, Portugal, France, Switzerland.

Will I have to pay VAT or Import Duty on non-UK orders?
If you are ordering from within the EU then you will have to pay UK VAT at 20% plus any import duties imposed by your customs office.
For orders placed outside of the EU, VAT will be deducted from the goods but you are responsible for any import duties imposed by your customs office.

Are there any delivery restrictions?
Please visit the Royal Mail Restrictions Help page for up-to-date information on restricted delivery areas by size, weight or destination.  Alternatively please contact us to discuss delivery of an unusual item.

Products & Pricing FAQs

Are your products genuine?
Yes, absolutely.  We enjoy excellent relationships with our suppliers and only offer 100% genuine products to our customers.

An item I bought recently is now on sale/reduced.  Can I have a refund of the difference?
We know it feels unfair when this happens – we’re customers too.  However, that’s the nature of retail.  If you paid a price for an item that you were happy to pay at the time, but then changed your mind then we’d feel unfairly treated as well.  We’ll always be a responsible retailer.

An item that was on sale isn’t anymore.  Can I still buy it at the sale price?
Unfortunately not.  Online prices are subject to change at any time due to the nature of online retailing and will always be accurate, excluding genuine errors. 

Can you price match from other stores or websites?
Yes.  Providing that we are able to verify the price of the item(s) to be price-matched, it is identical in model and the other store or website has stock, then we can price match.  We cannot price match where an item is discounted in conjunction with another offer, discount code or promotion, however.

Privacy & Security FAQs


What will you do with my payment information?
We will never see your card details when you place your order online with us, nor do we store them.  They are encrypted and held on the SagePay secure servers and are only ever accessed to confirm payment or in the event of a refund or in accordance with English Law.
If you are placing a mail order or telephone order (MOTO) with us we will require your card and billing address details, which will be safely destroyed immediately once the payment has been confirmed.

How is my personal information stored and is it secure?
All of your personal information (not card details, please see above) is stored on our secure, password protected server which is only accessible by our staff.  Should you wish to edit or remove this information you can contact us at any time, quoting your username, address and password.

What will you do with my personal information?
Your personal information will never be passed on to third parties for marketing purposes.  Spread Good Vibes (Edge of the World Ltd) will only contact you regarding an order or to inform you of offers, promotions and competitions, and always with your prior consent.  If you have subscribed to our newsletter and wish to unsubscribe please follow the link at the foot of the next newsletter.
We will only ever release your personal information in accordance with English law or to associated reputable companies who form part of our service chain, i.e. a courier such as Parcel Force.

Is this site secure?
Yes.  You can shop with total confidence that both your personal and card details are absolutely safe from online fraud. Spread Good Vibes undergoes regular and thorough testing by Security Metrics to ensure it is compliant with industry standards for data security. 
In addition our payment gateway, SagePay, uses Visa and Mastercard’s ‘3D Secure’ security system to protect against fraud, while the site’s payment gateway is encrypted to protect your card details (just look for the https:// in the website URL on the payment page to be sure).

What is MasterCard® SecureCode™?
MasterCard SecureCode is a service to enhance your existing MasterCard account. A private code means added protection against unauthorized use of your card when you shop at participating online retailers.

How does MasterCard SecureCode work?
Once you've registered and created your own private SecureCode, you will be automatically prompted by your financial institution at checkout to provide your SecureCode each time you make a purchase with a participating online merchant. Your SecureCode is quickly confirmed by your financial institution and then your purchase is completed. Your SecureCode will never be shared with the merchant. It's just like entering your PIN at an ATM.
You can learn more about Mastercard Securecode and set up your online PIN by visiting the Mastercard website.

What is Verified by Visa?
If you like to shop online, you’ll be happy to know that there’s no safer way to pay for your purchases than using Visa.
If you’re the victim of identity theft or fraud and someone uses your Visa card, Visa make sure you get every single penny back. That means you can browse and shop in complete confidence.
If you sign up to Verified by Visa, you’ll get an even greater level of security. You’ll be able to shop online safe in the knowledge that every one of your purchases requires an authentication code before it can be processed.  Just like entering your PIN at an ATM.

How does Verified by Visa work?
It’s easy to set up and easy to use. Before Visa process your payment, you’ll see a personal message – a message that you provided when you signed up for Verified by Visa and that only you and your bank know about. This shows that the security screen you’re seeing is genuine. You’ll then be asked to enter your Verified by Visa password.
You can learn more about Verified by Visa and set up your online PIN by visiting the Verified by Visa or Visa websites.
