Delivery
We recommend DPD for all urgent orders.
Whilst we give equal importance to all orders, we appreciate that orders for funerals are the most time critical, and we have a 100% success rate in dispatching these same working day (when confirmed by 10.30am).
We aim to dispatch all orders within the same time frames, but for larger orders please allow 2-4 working days. If you should have any questions regarding dispatch times please do not hesitate to contact us:
- Email: orders@careprint.uk
- Telephone: 01983 664888
Select from the following delivery/collection options at checkout:
- DPD - can be tracked, allowing you to adjust your delivery (leave in a safe place, with a neighbour, change date etc) *
- Royal Mail Tracked 24 - only recommended for non-time critical orders
- Collect from Careprint in Sandown PO36 8ED
* While orders should arrive on the next working day, we recommend allowing at least 2 working days for delivery. All courier services can be affected by road accidents, weather, mechanical breakdown etc, and whilst 99.5% of orders reach their destination on time, there is always a risk that circumstances beyond anyone's control may delay orders by 24 hours.
