Royal Mail Tracked 24
A fully tracked delivery service, typically arriving within 1–2 working days after dispatch.

Please note that these delivery times are estimates provided by Royal Mail and cannot be guaranteed.
Order Tracking
Once your order has been dispatched, you’ll receive a confirmation email containing your Royal Mail tracking number.
You can use this to monitor your parcel’s progress from dispatch through to delivery.
Delivery Delays
While we work hard to dispatch every order promptly, occasional delays can occur due to factors outside our control, including:
- Severe weather
- Postal service disruption
- Industrial action
- High seasonal demand
- Incorrect delivery information provided at checkout
Alder & Hound cannot accept responsibility for delays caused by third-party delivery providers, although we’ll always do our best to help resolve any issues.
Incorrect Delivery Information
Please ensure your delivery address is correct before completing your order.
If an incorrect address is provided, we may not be able to amend your order once it has been dispatched.
Any additional shipping costs resulting from incorrect address information may be the responsibility of the customer.
