SLIM TRANSFORMATION

Christmas Delivery Dates

​

The last day for shipping before Christmas is Thursday 19th December (some exceptions may apply).

​

Shipping will recommence on Monday 6th January for delivery Tuesday 7th January onwards.

​

The cut off is to ensure your medication safely reaches you before Christmas and does not get stuck, delayed or go missing during the spike in post due to Christmas.

​

General Delivery Information

​

Slim Transformation will organise distribution & shipping with our pharmacies to the customer's home address or a suitable alternative.

 

Please ensure you have provided the correct address at the online checkout or that the shipping address on your invoice is correct PRIOR TO PAYING - the shipping address submitted at checkout is what will automatically go to the courier for delivery. If the address needs amending after an order is placed or paid for, please let us know as soon as possible to avoid an error when delivering. If the item is delivered to an incorrect address and this was the address processed at checkout when you made payment, we are unable to retrieve or replace your item. We can enquire if DPD can retrieve the item but this will be at a cost to you.

​

Items are dispatched with Special Delivery to ensure a speedy delivery. Once dispatched, your item usually arrives next day. Please see exceptions below.

 

Fridge-line items will be sent in cool packaging and will need to be stored in your fridge once it arrives prior to first use. ​All fridge-line items are stored in packaging which keeps them within temperature range for up to 72 hours from dispatch.

 

All medical items being delivered to you will have tracking numbers and your package will require someone to be available to accept the delivery / package. Your item does not need to be signed for and can be left on your doorstep, in a safe space or with a neighbour if you are unable to accept delivery. The tracking details are sent to you the day before delivery via email - please ensure you check your junk mail. If shipped via APC, DPD or UPS, they will also confirm the delivery address, so please check this is correct. If there are any inaccuracies, please contact us immediately.

​

Your order confirmation and tracking emails will provide you with the shipping / delivery address that your item is being delivered to. If this is incorrect, please contact us immediately. Your tracking link in those emails will give you different options should you need them. Once your item has been dispatched, we are unable to change the schedule of your delivery - only the customer can do so via their tracking link. You will have the option to request your package to be delivered to a collection point (usually a shop) or to leave your item in a "safe place" (e.g. back garden) via the tracking link you will have received. Please note that should there be any discrepancies with your delivery AFTER you have requested the delivery to be changed, we are unable to assist in collection or de-delivery or location of your item as we have shipped to the address provided & DPD will not intervene. If there are any discrepancies with your delivery after you have changed it's delivery schedule, please contact us in writing and we can use our discretion to assist you further.

​

If you miss your delivery, the pharmacy offers up to 2 re-deliveries for a package. If you miss these, the package must be returned to the pharmacy & the medication disposed of. You will be unable to get a replacement product or claim a refund for this unless the delivery company, pharmacy or Slim Transformation are at fault. If a fault, delay or concern arises before you have received your delivery, you must refuse acceptance of the package when it arrives. This will then be returned to the pharmacy and we can liaise with you regarding a remedy. Please see our Returns Policy for this.

​

Cost

​​

• UK - We offer FREE UK Special Delivery via DPD, APC, UPS & Royal Mail. We can delivery Tuesday to Saturday, excluding Sunday or Monday.​

• IRELAND - We offer delivery via a THIRD PARTY delivery provider, who specialise in delivery to Ireland. The THIRD PARTY delivery providers for Ireland include AddressPal, who liaise directly with you as the customer regarding your delivery. We will provide you with all the relevant documentation to receive your order. Please note, we only ship to the THIRD PARTY delivery provider between Monday to Wednesday.

​

Time Scale

​

We aim for Next Working Day Delivery, where possible. This is dependent on the time of your consultation, the time of payment & the time of your prescription being completed and processed by the pharmacy. It is also dependent on delivery slots being available and the stock being available due to the nationwide shortage of these medications.

 

Any orders placed before 1pm on a Monday to Friday will be subject to next day special delivery. Your product can therefore arrive between Tuesday & Saturday, depending on your day of order.

​

Items paid for & prescribed after 1pm Friday, or on a Saturday & Sunday, will result in delivery from the following Tuesday.

 

There are certain areas & postcodes where delivery may take longer. It can take up to 2 working days for Northern Ireland and postcodes: HS2, IM, JE, PA60 - 75, 78, ZE2, 3. It can take up to 3 working days for postcodes: KW16 - non Town, KW17 PH30, 41 - 44.

​

For fridge-line items, the cold chain is kept for up to 72 hours via secure temperature controlled packaging from the pharmacy.

​

Delivery Enquiries

 

Any enquiries with your delivery must be made in writing to Slim Transformation via email - info@slimtransformation.co.uk

​

If you have any issues with delivery, please raise this with us in writing as soon as possible. The couriers we use operate a strict time frame for logging issues with delivery, whilst the pharmacies have a strict time frame for replacing any items. If we are not made aware of any issues with your delivery within 7 days of your shipment date (the date your item is sent), we cannot guarantee resolving the delivery issue or replacing your item if it is missing.

​

All enquiries will be handled by our admin team during our normal operating hours (see the footer of our website for these hours).

​

Damage in Transit

 

If any of your items are damaged in transit, please contact us immediately via email and we will investigate further for you. As per the above point, you must notify us within 7 days of your shipment date.

​

Delayed Delivery

​

Like with most things in life, there can be an issue which can cause a delay with your delivery. We will do our best to assist and reduce further delay, however there is a process when dealing with delays. We have to liaise with your courier and this is not an instant result - it can take time to liaise with the courier and find a resolution depending on what the cause of the delay is.

​

Some of the most common delays can be;

​

Delivery attempted: The courier will attempt to deliver to your delivery address (the delivery address as shown on your Order Confirmation email). If there is no response, the courier will either return your order to the nearest depot for collection / redelivery, attempt delivery the following day or leave in your nominated safe place / neighbour (depending on the instructions you had set via your tracking email).

​

Driver unable to find property: If you live in a rural area or in a property with a difficult to find entrance, please send us a picture via email of your property front (where the driver is supposed to deliver the item) or send us your location via WhatThreeWords. If the driver is unable to locate the property, the courier will either return your order to the nearest depot for collection / redelivery or leave in your nominated safe place / neighbour (depending on the instructions you had set via your tracking email) if they can find it.

​

Address incorrect / incomplete: Please ensure your delivery address is complete and correct on your Order Confirmation email. The address in that email is the address that syncs with our couriers. We can amend this prior to shipment but once shipped, we cannot guarantee a change in time to enable the scheduled delivery - this may cause a delay to your item arriving.

​

Other issues: Sometimes other issues occur, such as sickness, vehicle breakdowns, or a random unidentified issue at the depot. We will log a formal ticket / complaint with the relevant courier and seek a swift resolution from them.

​

Your Delivery Address

​

Please ensure the delivery address is correct on your Order Confirmation email - for every order processed by us, you will receive a formal confirmation of your order via email. If you have previously used a different address or changed your address with us, please ensure this is reflected in each Order Confirmation email. This is the address that automatically syncs with our couriers. You will also receive a confirmation email on the day your item is expected to be collected by DPD, which also re-confirms the delivery address. You will then receive an email on the day of delivery from DPD confirming the delivery address. These are three opportunities for the delivery address to be identified as correct or incorrect - if the address needs amending, please let us know as soon as possible so that we can amend accordingly and reduce the risk of a delay to your order.

​

If your order is delayed due to an incorrect address, we will endeavour to get the issue rectified as soon as possible. Please be aware that the time frame can be fluid, depending on the speed of response from the courier, pharmacy and any other third party; whether any returns need to occur; whether there is sufficient stock to replace an item (if applicable) etc. There are a lot of extenuating circumstances that can affect timing, but we will chase from our end as much as possible to ensure any issues are dealt with as promptly as possible.

​

Returns, Refunds & Replacements

 

Once dispatched, items are non-refundable or returnable, unless damaged or defective. Please see our Return, Refund & Replacement Policy for further information.
