Shipping Policy
UK SHIPPING POLICY
At BlueDot, we are pleased to offer reliable delivery to customers throughout the United Kingdom.
DO YOU SHIP TO THE UK?
Yes. We currently deliver to addresses across the United Kingdom, subject to courier availability and any location-based delivery restrictions.
HOW DO YOU SHIP?
Orders are dispatched using tracked shipping services.
Depending on the destination and shipping route, your parcel may be handled by one or more shipping partners before being transferred to a local UK carrier for final delivery.
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email with your tracking information.
WHAT IS THE SHIPPING TIME?
We offer free standard shipping on all UK orders.
Our estimated delivery times are:
-
Handling time: 1–3 business days
-
Transit time: 4–7 business days
-
Estimated total delivery time: approximately 5–10 business days
Business days do not include weekends or UK public holidays.
Please note that delivery times are estimates and may occasionally be affected by circumstances outside our control, such as:
-
Carrier delays
-
Severe weather
-
Public holidays
-
High-volume periods
-
Customs processing, where applicable
-
Transportation disruptions
We work with third-party shipping providers and therefore cannot guarantee a specific delivery date.
WHAT ARE YOUR SHIPPING RATES?
Standard UK delivery is completely free on all orders.
There is no minimum purchase requirement for free standard UK shipping unless otherwise stated on our website.
TRACKING YOUR ORDER
Once your order has been dispatched, you will receive a shipping confirmation email containing your tracking number or tracking link.
Please allow approximately 48–72 hours after receiving your shipping confirmation for tracking information to begin updating.
In some cases, tracking updates may take slightly longer while your parcel is being transferred between carriers.
WHERE IS MY SHIPPING CONFIRMATION EMAIL?
If you have not received your shipping confirmation email, please:
-
Check your spam or junk folder
-
Confirm that you entered the correct email address at checkout
-
Allow time for your order to complete the handling period
If you still cannot locate your confirmation email, please contact us at:
Please include your order number where possible.
MY ORDER HAS NOT ARRIVED
If your order has not arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please check your tracking information first.
Occasional delays may occur because of:
-
Carrier backlogs
-
Weather conditions
-
Customs or border processing
-
Transportation disruptions
-
Public holidays
-
Other circumstances outside our reasonable control
If your tracking has not updated for an extended period or you believe your parcel may be lost, please contact:
We will review the available tracking information and assist with the investigation.
WILL I HAVE TO PAY CUSTOMS OR IMPORT FEES?
Depending on where your order is dispatched from and the circumstances of the shipment, customs duties, import VAT, or other charges may potentially apply.
Any applicable charges are determined by the relevant authorities and are outside BlueDot's direct control unless they have already been collected or included as part of your order.
Where additional charges are payable by the recipient, responsibility for those charges may rest with the customer.
For further information, please consult the relevant UK customs authority or shipping carrier.
WHERE IS THE REST OF MY ORDER?
If you order more than one product, your order may occasionally be divided into separate shipments.
This means that items from the same order may arrive:
-
In different parcels
-
On different dates
-
With separate tracking numbers
If part of your order arrives before the rest, this does not necessarily mean that any items are missing.
WHY CAN'T I TRACK MY ORDER?
Tracking information may take 48–72 hours to appear after your tracking number has been generated.
This is usually because the parcel is waiting for its first scan or is being transferred between shipping facilities.
If tracking information remains unavailable after several days, please contact us at:
WHY HAS MY TRACKING STATUS NOT CHANGED?
It is normal for tracking information to remain unchanged for short periods while a parcel is travelling between locations.
Tracking updates may also be delayed because of:
-
Carrier processing
-
Customs clearance
-
Weather disruptions
-
Public holidays
-
Transportation delays
-
Limited scanning between checkpoints
A lack of tracking updates does not necessarily mean that your parcel has stopped moving.
If there has been no update for an extended period, please contact us so we can assist.
ADDRESS INFORMATION
Please make sure that your delivery address is complete and accurate before placing your order.
This includes:
-
Full name
-
House number and street
-
Flat or apartment number, where applicable
-
Town or city
-
Postcode
If you notice an error after placing your order, contact us as soon as possible at:
We will try to update the address if your order has not already been processed or dispatched.
Once an order has been shipped, we may not be able to change the delivery address.
INCORRECT OR INCOMPLETE ADDRESSES
BlueDot cannot guarantee successful delivery when incorrect, incomplete, or outdated address information has been provided at checkout.
If a parcel is returned to us because of an incorrect or incomplete address, please contact our support team so we can discuss the available options.
LOST PACKAGES
If tracking information suggests that your parcel has been lost in transit, please contact us at:
We will investigate the shipment with the relevant carrier.
Where an order is confirmed as lost in transit, we may provide an appropriate replacement or refund in accordance with our Refund & Returns Policy and your applicable consumer rights.
PACKAGES MARKED AS DELIVERED
If tracking shows that your order has been delivered but you cannot locate it, please first:
-
Check around your property
-
Check any designated safe place
-
Ask members of your household
-
Check with neighbours
-
Review any delivery photograph or carrier notification
-
Contact the delivery carrier where appropriate
If you still cannot locate your parcel, contact us at:

DELIVERY DELAYS
While we aim to deliver all orders within the estimated timeframe, delays may occasionally occur for reasons outside our reasonable control.
These may include severe weather, customs delays, strikes, carrier disruptions, transport problems, or other unforeseen events.
We will always do our best to help you resolve any delivery issue.
