Royal Mail Special Deliveries

Selecting "Special Delivery" will guarantee your chosen delivery date (on a working day only). Your gift will arrive on this date by13:00. To ensure next working day guaranteed delivery, you must place your order with us by midday Monday to Friday.

For orders made after 12:00 Friday and over the weekend, the next available delivery day will be Tuesday (or Wednesday if it is a Bank Holiday).

All gifts shipped need to be signed for upon delivery. If you are unavailable when goods arrive, Royal Mail will leave a card stating where goods may be collected.

Part-eaz accepts no liability for any additional costs incurred if instructions on the card are not followed within specified timescales including the replacement of perishable items (e.g. Balloon Gifts)

Where a weekend Special Delivery is required (single 18" Balloon Gifts only) the following applies:

• You may request a Saturday delivery if you wish, but please note that whilst most deliveries do arrive on this day, Royal Mail do not guarantee this and Part-eaz do not except responsibility for non-delivery on Saturdays.

• If your Balloon does not arrive on the Saturday, it will be delivered on the Monday (or in the case of a Bank Holiday, on the Tuesday).

• Due to the fact Helium Balloons are perishable items, Part-eaz strongly recommends that you do not request a Saturday delivery over a Bank Holiday weekend.

• There are no deliveries on Sundays or Bank Holidays.
