Fulfilment & Packaging Standards
All items are inspected before dispatch.
Certain products — including lighting fixtures, glass décor, ceramic pieces, and stone-inspired designs — are classified as fragile.
To reduce the risk of damage, we use:
- Protective foam inserts
- Shock-absorbing padding
- Reinforced outer cartons
- Double-layer packaging where necessary
Proper packaging is essential for both safe delivery and return eligibility under our Refund & Return Policy.
Courier Partners
We work with established UK carriers, which may include:
- Royal Mail
- DPD
- DHL
- Evri
- Parcelforce
Carrier selection depends on parcel size, weight, and destination.
Once your parcel is handed to the courier, you will receive tracking details via email.
Tracking & Delivery Confirmation
Tracking information is sent after dispatch.
Please allow up to 2 business days for tracking updates to become active.
Delivery is considered complete when the courier marks the parcel as delivered.
Proof of delivery may include:
- GPS confirmation
- Signature confirmation
- Photo confirmation of safe placement
Where permitted, couriers may leave parcels in a secure location (porch, parcel box, or designated safe area).
If signature confirmation is required, 1–2 delivery attempts may be made before redirection to a local collection point.
Risk of Loss
Risk of loss transfers to the customer once the parcel has been handed to the courier.
If tracking confirms delivery but the parcel cannot be located:
- Check secure locations
- Check with neighbours
- Verify address accuracy
Contact us within 3 business days so we can assist with a courier trace.
We will cooperate reasonably in investigating delivery concerns.
Incorrect or Incomplete Address
Customers are responsible for ensuring shipping information is accurate at checkout.
Address changes may be requested within 24 hours of placing the order, provided fulfilment has not started.
Once dispatched, rerouting may not be possible.
If a parcel is delivered to an incorrect address due to customer-provided errors, recovery or replacement may not be possible.
Undeliverable or Returned Parcels
If delivery cannot be completed due to:
- Failed delivery attempts
- Refusal of delivery
- Incomplete address
- Uncollected collection-point parcels
The shipment may be returned to our fulfilment facility.
If returned, we will contact you to arrange redelivery.
Repeated failed delivery attempts may result in order cancellation and refund less any non-recoverable shipping costs.
Order Cancellations
Orders may be cancelled within 24 hours of purchase, provided fulfilment has not begun.
Once processing has started or the order has been dispatched, cancellation may not be possible.
In such cases, items may be returned within the standard 30-day return window after delivery.
Delivery Issues
If your parcel arrives damaged:
- Contact us promptly
- Provide photographs of the item, external packaging, and shipping label
If a shipment is confirmed lost by the courier, we will initiate a claim and arrange a replacement or refund once verified.
If your order has not arrived within 15 business days:
- Review tracking information
- Allow an additional 3 business days
- Contact support@mimios.com
We will investigate accordingly.
Fraud Prevention & Delivery Disputes
To reduce fraudulent claims and chargebacks:
- Delivery confirmation records are retained
- Courier proof-of-delivery documentation may be used in dispute resolution
- Suspicious claims may require additional verification
False non-delivery claims may result in investigation and refusal of refund where delivery evidence confirms completion.
Statutory Rights
Nothing in this Shipping Policy limits or excludes your statutory rights under UK law, including:
- Consumer Rights Act 2015
- Consumer Contracts Regulations 2013
Where any provision conflicts with your statutory rights, UK consumer protection legislation prevails.
