Delivery

Regular deliveries:

Please don’t hesitate to contact us if you have any questions or require any information regarding deliveries.

We especially want to hear from you if you feel that there’s a shipment en route and you’re concerned over the transit time, or have any information regarding addresses etc. 

General information is below. If there’s anything more specific, please scroll down to find your area related content.

Please check the bottom of this page for Exceptions, which includes beanbags, customised products, Christmas etc.

General Information 

We use a variety of trusted couriers to deliver our goods. The courier we use is dependent upon the delivery address i.e. UK Mainland, Highlands & Islands, Europe & Rest of the World. The courier will contact you at the point of pick up and provide tracking details which will enable you to monitor and adjust the delivery journey.

Delivery will be made to the address specified by you during the order process on the website.

Insurance and signatories

We insure each purchase for the time it is in transit up until the time it is delivered to your specified delivery address. A signature is required for any goods delivered, at which point responsibility for your purchased goods passes to you.

All our deliveries require a signature on receipt. However, ours is NOT a named delivery service, therefore anyone at the designated delivery address may sign for your delivery. Please ensure that an appropriate person is available to sign on the delivery day. If no one is at the address when delivery is attempted, the goods will be retained by the courier and a notification email sent, in some regions a postcard may be left. You will have the option to re-arrange delivery or collect your order from the local depot. If this has not been undertaken within approx. 5 days the courier will attempt to redeliver. If this is still unsuccessful the goods will be returned to Owen Barry (OB).

Ordinarily, we only make deliveries to the order delivery address, with an appropriate signature. If you instruct us or our nominated courier to leave a delivery unattended at your address or at a nominated neighbour, OB expressly disclaims all liability which may arise by virtue of the delivery being lost, damaged or left unattended for a period of time. This includes but is not limited to theft, tampering, contamination and the result of weather damage.

Weather Conditions

Adverse weather conditions or other events outside of our reasonable control may result in an occasional late or non-delivery. If that is the case, we will endeavour to contact you as soon as we can to reschedule your delivery. In any event, our liability to you will be limited to the prices of the goods not delivered, and the cost of delivery. Please also refer to Force Majeure In our full Terms & Conditions section.

Split deliveries

In an instance where all products are not available to ship at once, OB is entitled to supply your purchases in several drops, We will endeavour to liaise with you to ensure any inconvenience is kept to a minimum and we will only charge one lot of postage (if applicable) per order.

When your order is despatched, we will send you an automated despatch email which will include a tracking number for your parcel.
