I placed an order on Friday for next day delivery, why did I not get it until Wednesday?
Our cut off point is 3pm, Monday to Friday. Any order placed after 3pm will be processed through our dispatch system the next working day. We currently do not deliver at weekends.
I haven’t received a dispatch email/email confirmation?
Please be aware that an automated email is sent to the given email address when your order is dispatched. A second tracking email will also be sent by our delivery service (currently DPD). Please check all folders including ‘junk’ as they will come from noreply email addresses. To ensure emails reach you, add the domains chongz.co.uk & dpd.co.uk to your safe senders list.
Can I collect from a local store?
A range of service options are available via the tracking email/DPD tracking app including DPD pickup.
Please read carefully the terms of each service option before you select, as some services can incur an extra charge or may require you to assume liability if the parcel is lost/stolen.
N.B. choosing ‘leave in a safe location’ WILL require you to assume liability if the parcel is subsequently lost or stolen. For this reason we recommend that you do not select this service.
Do you deliver on the Weekend?
Weekend delivery is currently unavailable.
Can I track my item?
Yes. You will be sent a dispatch confirmation email as soon as your order has been processed. This email will also contain your tracking number. We also ask for a mobile number so our courier can inform you of the status of your order.

Please note tracking numbers are only active and trackable 3 hours after the order has been collected from our warehouse, approximately 7pm (GMT/BST) Monday to Friday. For orders placed after 3pm on Friday, your order will not be trackable until it has been collected from us the following Monday.
Can someone else sign for my delivery?
Yes, it does not have to be the addressee. The signature is electronically logged for security reasons. Any signature at the address will be accepted as proof of delivery.
Do you deliver to PO Box addresses?
No. All of our couriers require a recipient signature to prove delivery of the item. This cannot be guaranteed at a PO Box address.
Do I have to pay Customs & import charges if I live outside of the UK?
Customs and import duties are charged once the parcel reaches its destination country. These charges must be paid by the recipient of the parcel.
Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges, and cannot tell you what the cost might be, as customs policies and import duties vary widely from country to country. It might be a good idea to contact your local customs office for current charges before you order, so you are not surprised by charges you were not expecting.
The customer must take full liability for any parcels returned to us due to unpaid customs charges. Postal charges, return shipment costs, customs charges and handling fees will all be deductible from any refund due.
The customs department of my country have asked me for further information. What should I do?
Each country has its own unique import procedures,which are subject to change. If you have an order held in customs then please contact our customer service team with your order number and tracking number, via email at info@chongz.co.uk
We will do our very best to help resolve the matter as quickly as possible.
