Orders & Delivery

How long does delivery take?

  • UK Standard (£2.99): 3–5 working days, free on UK orders of £29.99 or more
  • UK Express (£6.99): 1–2 working days
  • UK Weekend (£7.99): Saturday or Sunday delivery
  • European Union (£9.99): 5–7 working days
  • USA, Canada & Australia (£18): 7–10 working days
  • Selected other countries (£30): 10–14 working days

See our Delivery & Shipping page for full details.

Do you ship internationally?

Yes. Alongside the UK, we ship to the European Union, the United States, Canada, Australia and selected other countries. You’ll see the exact delivery price at checkout before you pay.

Orders delivered outside the UK may be charged import VAT, GST or sales tax, customs duties and handling fees by the destination country. These are not included in our prices and are paid by the recipient.

Will I have to pay customs or import charges?

There are no import charges for UK deliveries. For other countries, local taxes and duties may apply: for example, import VAT on all orders to the EU, possible duties and fees in the US and Canada, and possible charges on Australian orders over A$1,000. See Customs & import charges.

Can I track my order?

Yes. Once your order is dispatched, you’ll receive a tracking number by email so you can follow your parcel.

What if I need my order urgently?

Choose Express or Weekend delivery at checkout. For personalised items, please contact us before ordering so we can confirm we can meet your date.

Email support@creadgift.com with your deadline.

Personalisation

How does personalisation work?

Choose your product and style, enter your name or message (or upload your photo where the product allows it) and complete your order. We make your item exactly as you entered it, so please check spelling carefully.

How are your items printed?

Our mugs and coasters are printed in the UK with high-quality, fade-resistant colour. Classic white and colour-accent mugs are dishwasher and microwave safe; magic colour-changing mugs should be washed by hand.

Can I see a proof before you make my item?

For complex custom or bulk orders, we’re happy to send a proof for approval before production. Email support@creadgift.com after placing your order. This may add 1–2 days to your delivery time.

Are there character limits for personalisation?

Yes. Limits depend on the product and are shown next to the personalisation field on each product page, so your text always fits the design.

Payment & Pricing

What payment methods do you accept?

We accept major credit and debit cards (Visa, Mastercard, American Express), Apple Pay, Google Pay, Shop Pay and any other methods shown at checkout. Payments are processed securely by Shopify and its payment partners.

Is it safe to shop on your website?

Yes. Our website uses encryption to protect your information, checkout is powered by Shopify, and we never see or store your full card details.

What does the price include? Do I get a receipt?

Every price is the full price of the gift, in pounds sterling (GBP). The only thing added at checkout is delivery, and you see it before you pay. Your order confirmation email is your receipt.

Do you offer discounts or promotions?

Yes. Sign up to our newsletter, follow us on social media or check our homepage for current offers. We also offer discounts on bulk and corporate orders.

Returns & Exchanges

What is your returns policy?

You can cancel an order of non-personalised items within 14 days of receiving it, without giving a reason, and return the items unused. UK return postage for non-personalised items is free.

Important: personalised items are made to your specifications, so they can’t be returned for a change of mind. They are always covered if they arrive faulty, damaged or incorrect. See our Refund Policy.

What if my item arrives damaged or faulty?

Email support@creadgift.com with your order number and photos, ideally within 48 hours of delivery. We’ll arrange a free replacement or a full refund. Reporting later doesn’t affect your statutory rights.

What if there’s a mistake in my personalisation?

If we made the mistake, we’ll remake your item free of charge and send it by express delivery at no extra cost. Please contact us as soon as you notice it.

How do I return an item?

Email support@creadgift.com with your order number and we’ll send return instructions. We refund you within 14 days of receiving the item back, usually within 3–5 business days.

Gift Services

Can I send a gift directly to someone?

Yes. Enter the recipient’s address as the delivery address at checkout and we’ll send the gift straight to them.

Do you offer gift wrapping or gift messages?

Gift wrapping and gift messages aren’t available at checkout at the moment. If you need something special, email support@creadgift.com before ordering and we’ll let you know what we can do.

Do you offer corporate or bulk order discounts?

Yes. For orders of 10 or more items, email support@creadgift.com with details of what you need and we’ll send a custom quote.
