Help! The courier damaged my parcel.
Oh no - we’re so sorry to hear that!
If your outer packaging looks damaged but the product inside appears fine, please go ahead and accept the parcel - but do take a few photos of the packaging before opening, just in case there’s any hidden damage we may need to raise with the courier.
If your product itself has been damaged during transit, please email us within 24 hours of delivery at hello@thetinybedcompany.com with:
- Your name and order number
- A few clear photos showing the damage to both the packaging and product
Our team will take a look straight away and help get everything sorted for you as quickly as possible. We may need to investigate the delivery with the third-party courier before confirming any next steps.
Rest assured, if damage is confirmed whilst in the care of the third-party courier, we’ll arrange a replacement item for you as soon as possible. We don’t issue refunds for items damaged during delivery - replacements will be the solution provided once the issue has been verified.
My tracking hasn’t updated - what should I do?
We’re so sorry to hear that your parcel hasn’t arrived as expected.
If your order hasn’t arrived within the estimated delivery timeframe, please first check your tracking link for any recent updates or delivery attempts. Occasionally, parcels can be marked as delivered a little early or left in a safe place.
If there’s still no sign of it, please email us at hello@thetinybedcompany.com with your order number, and our team will contact the courier to open an investigation with them.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and work to resolve things as quickly as possible.
If the courier confirms your parcel as lost, we’ll arrange for a replacement to be sent out.
My order arrived incomplete / missing an item
We’re sorry to hear your parcel hasn’t arrived as expected.
A few things to note:
- When combining in-stock and pre-order/custom-made items in a single order, the delivery of in-stock items may be delayed to align with the shipment of pre-order/custom-made items.
- When possible, we may send separate shipments so you receive part of your order sooner.
- If you order multiple products, it’s normal to receive separate deliveries, each aligned with its product’s dispatch timeframe.
If there’s been a packing error or any issue with the items you’ve received, please email us within 24 hours at hello@thetinybedcompany.com with:
- Your order number
- A clear description of the issue
- Any images (including measurements if relevant) to help us resolve it quickly
My parcel shows as delivered, but I haven’t received it
If your parcel hasn’t arrived, please first check the tracking information for the most up to date reference including delivery mages taken. Then we would recommend to check with neighbours, nearby properties, or your local delivery office, as parcels are sometimes left safely nearby.
If there’s still no sign of it, email us at hello@thetinybedcompany.com with your order number and any tracking details. Our team will contact the courier to investigate and confirm where your parcel was delivered.
We’ll keep you updated throughout the process and work to resolve things as quickly as possible. Once the courier confirms the parcel was delivered to the wrong address, we’ll arrange a replacement to be sent out promptly.
Please note: courier delivery confirmation, including GPS coordinates, serves as proof of delivery. Ensure your shipping address and postcode are accurate when placing an order, as we cannot be held responsible for parcels lost due to incorrect address details.
Can I choose a specific delivery date?
We’re not currently able to guarantee delivery on a specific date, but we’ll always do our best to get your order to you as soon as possible.
Once your parcel has been dispatched, you’ll receive a tracking link from the courier. From there, you can often choose or change your delivery day, add a safe place, or redirect to a neighbour or collection point directly through the courier’s website.
Please note that our couriers do not make any deliveries on a Sunday.
If you have a special date in mind (for example, a gift or a nursery due date), feel free to pop us an email at hello@thetinybedcompany.com before ordering - we’ll always try our best to help where we can.
What happens if I miss my delivery?
Don’t worry - it happens to us all!
If you’re not home when the courier tries to deliver, they’ll usually:
-Leave a calling card or email/text notification with re-delivery options
-Try to deliver to a neighbour or leave the parcel in a safe place (if authorised)
You can then use your tracking link to reschedule delivery, update your preferences, or collect your parcel from a local depot or parcel shop.
If your parcel isn’t collected or redelivered within the courier’s time window, it may be returned to us — but we’ll be in touch if that happens to help arrange re-delivery.
