  1. Place your order
  2. Tell us your order reference number
  3. Tell us who it should be addressed to and where it should be sent
I ordered more than 1 letter but I’ve only received part of my order?

If you have ordered more than 1 letter as part of the same order, we will post them out at the same time.

Sometimes Royal Mail will deliver some letters before others, but you will usually receive the rest of your order on the following day. Unfortunately this is out of our control. Should this happen we would recommend waiting until you receive all letters before handing them to children.

If you do not receive the rest of your order the day after you received your first letter, let us know and we will repost any missing letters
