Ordering, Payment, Delivery, Exchanges/Returns & After Sales Support

All orders are subject to availability. Prices are inclusive of VAT and prices and items are subject to change without notice.  We make every effort to describe items  accurately and to display accurate pictures, however we rely on manufacturer information and screen displays vary so that colours may appear differently in real life than in a product image.

SHIPPING
We aim to dispatch orders within 48 hours where possible, which can be the same day if ordered before noon, or the next day.
Orders are dispatched most days on Monday to Friday, except for bank and public holidays. Orders placed after noon on Friday and on weekends will be dispatched on the following Monday (or Tuesday if after a bank holiday). Any delays in shipping due to planned holidays or unforeseen circumstances will be notified where possible either when selecting shipping options or by email afterwards.

To the UK all carriers are dispatched for FREE using Royal Mail, either First Class if less than 1kg and Second Class if over 1kg. Accessories are sent Royal Mail First Class standard for £1.50. Special Delivery is between £7-£11 depending on the weight of the order and is guaranteed for week day delivery only. It may be delivered on Saturday but it is not guaranteed as areas vary. Saturday Special Delivery is between £11-16 depending on the weight of the order for a guaranteed Saturday delivery. For Saturday delivery you must order before noon on Fridays or your order will not be dispatched until Monday when it will be dispatched Special Delivery with the difference between standard and Saturday Special Delivery refunded. Call us if your order is urgent and we will see what we can do.

To Europe and the Rest of the World your order will be dispatched Royal Mail International Tracked & Signed where available. If not the Tracked service is used. Postage is calculated at check out based on the weight of the parcel. Some countries do not have shipping costs built into checkout. If you check out and are not charged for shipping you will be invoiced separately and your order dispatched once payment is made.

PURCHASING & PAYMENTS
Online we accept debit and credit card payments powered by Stripe, or by Paypal by logging into your account. Paypal guest checkout may or may not be available, with buyers not always having the option to complete a purchase without using an existing or creating a Paypal account.

If I cannot answer your call straight away please leave a message and I will call you back to take payment. Another option for purchasing is to contact me to invoice you.

CANCELLATIONS & RETURNS
If upon placing your order you change your mind you have the right to cancel your order from that moment until 14 days after receiving it. If upon receiving your carrier or accessory you decide it is not for you, it is faulty, or not as described, please feel free to return to us, unused, unwashed, in the same new condition received in, fit for resale, with all original packaging, with everything that came with it. You have a further 14 days to return the item.

You are responsible for return postage costs unless the item is faulty. We recommend you send it insured or tracked to cover you in the event that is does not make its way back safely.

If these conditions are satisfied then I will be able to give you a full refund. As a business we absorb First or Second Class postage costs in order to offer you 'free' delivery. If you paid to have your order sent via Special Delivery or to be shipped Internationally your original postage costs will not be refunded.

When we receive your returned goods we will inspect them, and if acceptable with no marks, hairs, fluff, odours or signs of use then a full refund will be processed within 7 days. You will be refunded by the payment method used.

A deduction can be made if the value of the goods has been reduced as a result of the goods being handled beyond what was necessary to determine their suitability or if any of the above described is evident. In this case it cannot be resold as new. Handling of the goods should be no more than if you were assessing them in a shop. You are not purchasing on a 'Try Before You Buy' basis so if the item is used you are deemed to have accepted the goods and not be eligible for a refund.

EXCHANGES
We accept returns to be exchanged for an alternative carrier. Once your order is returned to us and is in an acceptable condition for a full refund we will then dispatch your replacement. If you would like a faster turnaround you may wish to order your replacement online separately so we can dispatch it straightaway, before waiting for your return to arrive and be processed.

REFUNDS
You will be notified by email when your refund has been processed. Depending on your payment method your refund may take some time to be deposited back to your account. Credit and debit card payments may take up to 5-10 working days. Paypal payments will be refunded back to the place from where funds originated, which usually takes up to 3-5 days to complete, but please allow up to 30 days depending on the card issuer.

AFTER SALES SUPPORT
It can take time and practice when using a carrier the first few times. We are experienced in using all the carriers we stock, in fitting them to different aged babies and to different parents.
It is normal if your baby does not immediately settle in a sling, or if you have caught them at a moment they are hungry or tired. If your baby does not settle in the carrier then relax and take your time with it, perhaps getting it on in stages while you continue to support them in arms, or try again later. It may not feel right straight away while you learn how to fit to you and your baby most comfortably. We encourage you to contact us if you would like a fit check or support in using your carrier correctly, safely and comfortably or need tips on adjusting and fitting. Often small tweaks can make the biggest difference in comfort, ease of use, and your baby feeling happy in it.
If you wish to try before you buy please arrange a postal hire with us where you can use the carrier as much as you wish to determine suitability before purchasing your own. Alternatively you may seek the services of a local sling library or babywearing consultant to try out different options and learn how to use them. We offer these services locally in Leicester so you can be sure about your purchase.
Please contact us at info@carrymybaby.co.uk to advise us if you wish to return an item.

All the above is in accordance with your rights under the Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013 that came into force in June 2014. We will however answer any returns enquiries beyond the above described on a case by case basis.

All returns to be sent to:
