Deliveries To A Different Address

We can arrange to deliver your goods to a separate delivery address to your billing address if this is more convenient for you, or you would like to send items as a gift. For your convenience, all invoices are sent to your billing address, and deliveries are sent to the delivery address without any invoicing - ideal if wanting to send your order as a gift direct to the recipient. 

Ordering from outside the UK

Unfortunately, we are unable to deliver outside the United Kingdom from this website, but we do have other websites specifically serving a number of European countries:

Right to Cancel

You have the right to cancel this contract within 14 days without giving any reason. The cancellation period will expire after 14 days from the day on which you acquire, or a third party other than the carrier and indicated by you acquires, physical possession of the last goods. To exercise the right to cancel, you must inform us (CJ WildBird Foods Ltd, The Rea, Upton Magna, Shrewsbury, Shropshire, SY4 4UR. Tel 0800 731 2820.

Effects of Cancellation

If you cancel this contract, we will reimburse to you all payments received from you, including the costs of delivery (except for the supplementary costs arising if you chose a type of delivery other than the least expensive type of standard delivery offered by us). We may make a deduction from the reimbursement for loss in value of any goods supplied, if the loss is the result of unnecessary handling by you. We will make the reimbursement without undue delay, and not later than:

  a. 14 days after the day we receive back from you any goods supplied, or
  b. (if earlier) 14 days after the day you provide evidence that you have returned the goods, or
  c. (c) if there were no goods supplied, 14 days after the day on which we are informed about your decision to cancel this contract.

We will make the reimbursement using the same means of payment as you used for the initial transaction, unless you have expressly agreed otherwise; in any event, you will not incur any fees as a result of the reimbursement. We may withhold reimbursement until we have received the goods back or you have supplied evidence of having sent back the goods, whichever is the earliest. You shall send back the goods or hand them over to us without undue delay and in any event not later than 14 days from the day on which you communicate your cancellation from this contract to us. The deadline is met if you send back the goods before the period of 14 days has expired. You will have to bear the direct cost of returning the goods. If we arrange collection of the goods, this charge will be £4.50. You are only liable for any diminished value of the goods resulting from the handling other than what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods.
