Shipping Policy
Last updated: February 2026
This Shipping Policy explains how shipping rates, dispatch times, delivery estimates, signature requirements, and restrictions are handled by BUY THC GUMMIES UK. Delivery timeframes are estimates and may vary due to carrier conditions, weather, peak seasons, and address verification. Products are intended for adult consumers and trade customers. Availability may vary in accordance with UK regulations and carrier requirements.
1. Shipping Rates
| Order Total | Standard Delivery |
|---|---|
| Under £100.00 | £4.99 |
| £100.00 and above | FREE |
Express delivery (if offered at checkout): £9.99.
2. Processing & Delivery Estimates
- Order processing: typically 1–2 working days (verification may add time)
- Standard delivery: typically 3–7 working days
- Express delivery: typically 1–3 working days (where available)
If we cannot dispatch within the stated timeframe (or within a reasonable timeframe when none is stated), we may contact you with updated options. Where relevant, this may include the option to cancel for a refund for unshipped items, in line with UK consumer protection requirements applicable to distance sales.
3. Signature & Age Verification
To support our adult-only purchasing policy and reduce theft/misdirection risk, shipments may require a signature on delivery. Some carriers offer age or ID verification services that require the recipient to be 18+ and may require valid photo ID.
- If a signature or age check is required and no eligible recipient is available, the carrier may re-attempt delivery or hold the parcel for collection.
- Please ensure your delivery address is accurate and can receive signature-required deliveries.
4. Shipping Restrictions (Areas & Products)
We may restrict or cancel deliveries to destinations where certain regulated products are prohibited or heavily restricted, or where carrier terms prevent carriage. Customers are responsible for ensuring their order is suitable for delivery to their address.
- Orders to restricted destinations may be cancelled before dispatch and refunded (where applicable).
- We reserve the right to request additional verification prior to fulfilment.
5. Postal Networks & International Shipping
Where postal networks are used, we follow carrier standards for restricted goods and recordkeeping expectations where applicable. Some product types may be prohibited or restricted for international carriage, and rules can vary significantly by destination and carrier.
At this time, international shipping availability (if offered) is limited and may exclude certain products depending on destination rules and carrier policies.
6. Tracking Your Order
Once your order is dispatched, you’ll receive tracking information by email (where provided). If you need help, contact us at support@gummiesshop.co.uk.
