Postage
PO Boxes, Packstations etc
We are unable to send items to PO Boxes, Packstations or similar, as all our items require signatures upon receipt.
Dispatch Times. Most items clearly state dispatch times, many on the same day. Orders received before 12 midday will usually benefit from Next Day delivery on Stock items if delivered to mainland UK. Please allow between 3 and 10 working days (Monday - Friday) for "non-stock" items unless stated otherwise, such as made to order items. All items within the order will be sent together and will be dependent upon the longest time frame of the items within the order. Some items have the availability label "Allow 10-21 working days for delivery", which may take longer than standard non-stock items.
Delays sometimes can result due to circumstances beyond our control. These maybe but are not limited to unforeseen problems within the supply chain. We will endeavor to keep you informed of any such delay and will be working hard on your behalf to expedite any outstanding orders from the supply chain.
The Kinksters use APC Overnight Couriers, DHL, The Post Office and Royal Mail as our delivery agents. Your payment for postage includes insurance up to the stated amount with these companies. In the event of loss or damage during transit, liability for this is with the relevant companies and The Kinksters can only assist customers in claiming for any loss incurred.
Free Shipping Offer: Free shipping is offered on orders within the UK over the value of £40, and only on orders under 2kg weight.
Heavier items such as sex machines, sling frames, furniture and larger orders over 2kg will not qualify for the Free Shipping offer, as they cannot be shipped by this service. You check if your order qualifies for free shipping by going to the checkout.
Orders shipped by Free Shipping will under normal circumstances be shipped by 2nd Class Royal Mail. Items that are reduced, in a promotion or on sale will not count towards the £40 and will not qualify for free shipping.
Orders placed using a discount code, promotional code or orders that include sale items will not qualify for free shipping.
Signatures: All packages require a signature upon receipt. Please note that our couriers do not ID people signing for parcels. Both our and our courier’s liability for delivering the items end upon receipt of a signature at the mailing address. Customers are advised that they need to take care if others at the customers address could sign for a package without authority.
Import Duties and Taxes: Customers from outside of the UK are responsible for any import duties, taxes and or charges incurred upon entry to their own country. Customers outside of the UK will have the VAT costs excluded in the checkout (so the price will be cheaper in the checkout), however, you may be charged the duties upon receiving your order by customs in your country.
Import Restrictions and Refusal: Customers must check before ordering that items are allowed into their country. Items refused entry by customs will remain the customers property and we will not offer any refund unless the items are returned to us, If items are returned and not destroyed by customs, then actual shipping cost and any other reasonable costs will be deducted before a refund is made.
