Side note: We do not ship on the weekend or bank holidays; therefore your order will be processed the next working day.

All shipments sent with UPS require a signature as proof of delivery.

UPS may authorize parcels to be left at an agreed location (eg. Outside the delivery address). A signed note will be required and this will be used as proof of delivery. Customers that authorise this form of delivery do so at their own risk. Neither UPS nor The Place London are responsible for lost/stolen parcels.

 

UK Delivery
Orders for the United Kingdom are shipped with the Olympex Global for a possible next-day delivery. Please note that this may take longer (up to three working days) for reasons beyond Olympex Global's control. Shipping within the UK is charged at £6.00.

Duties, Taxes & VAT
Duties and Taxes are calculated according to your shipping destination. UK VAT will be applied to orders shipped to EU and UK, excluding Channel Islands. Orders being shipped to destinations outside the EU will have the VAT deducted at payment processing stage. 

International and EU orders are shipped on a DDU (Delivery Duties Unpaid) basis. This means that any duties and taxes incurred in the country of destination are the responsibility of the customer. If a shipment is refused, we will do what we can to nullify the customs charges and have the shipment returned to The Place London. We cannot guarantee that customs charges can be voided for a refused shipment. In this case, we will deduct the amount from your refund.

Please also note that your shipment/order cannot be classed as personal effects/personal use as your shipment is coming from The Place London as a business to yourself as a consumer. Therefore, you are responsible for import duties/taxes at your local customs office. Duty and taxes incurred in the country of destination are the responsibility of the customer. When you placed your order, you agreed to our terms and conditions of purchase.

Payment Security
If you choose a direct payment gateway to complete your purchase, then Shopify stores your credit card data. It is encrypted through the Payment Card Industry Data Security Standard (PCI-DSS). Your purchase transaction data is stored only as long as is necessary to complete your purchase transaction. After that is complete, your purchase transaction information is deleted.

All direct payment gateways adhere to the standards set by PCI-DSS as managed by the PCI Security Standards Council, which is a joint effort of brands like Visa, Mastercard, American Express and Discover.

PCI-DSS requirements help ensure the secure handling of credit card information by our store and its service providers.

To protect your personal information, we take precautions and follow industry best practices to make sure it is not inappropriately lost, misused, accessed, disclosed, altered or destroyed.
