Delivery and Returns
Orders are collected by our courier partners Monday-Friday, excluding Bank Holidays, Christmas Eve and New Years Eve. Our wonderful team may sometimes process your order on the weekend, for your order ready to be collected by the couriers on Monday. We aim to despatch all UK mainland orders placed before 12 pm Monday-Friday that same day. Please be aware that orders going to the Scottish highlands and Northern Ireland may take a few extra days to dispatch.
Preorders will have a different delivery schedule as detailed on the product page at the time of ordering and outlined in your order confirmation email. Please get in touch via info@totterandtumble.co.uk if you have any queries.
Mainland UK Delivery (including Mainland Northern Ireland)
Standard playmat delivery within Mainland UK is currently free!
As a small business we happily stretch to make this happen for our Totter + Tumblers, but please note that free returns are not included. If you are unsure which playmat design would be best in your home, we recommend you reading our Design Insider article and Swatch Service first.
You won't have to wait long for your Totter + Tumble playmat. We use DX as our courier partners for most consignments and DPD for smaller runners. In Mainland UK you should expect your playmat to be out for delivery within 5 working days from dispatch, for Northern Ireland and remote postcodes it should be within 10 working days from dispatch. You will be emailed tracking information so you can keep informed and your playmat will need to be signed for.
Mainland UK is defined by the couriers used and may not include the northern parts of Scotland. We may need to get in touch if there are additional delivery costs to those areas.
Mainland UK Swatch & Letterbox Gift Service
For swatches, we use Royal Mail. Our swatches are not tracked, though we do pay for a quick service and your swatches can fit through a standard letterbox, so there is no need to wait in. We usually expect them to arrive with you between 7-10 working days - although during peak periods this may be longer.
Returns are actively encouraged as we seek a sustainable swatch service with minimal wastage and must be made within 30 days.
To return your swatches, all you need to do is seal the swatches and the accompanying card in the original box. Apply the Freepost returns label over the original label and pop it in your local post box- and it will get back to us! No returns address or queueing at the Post Office.
Once we have received your returned swatches, your refund will be processed within 10 days. Please note that initial postage costs are not refunded.
Delivery outside of Mainland UK (Jersey, Guernsey and Isle of Man)
If you are ordering from the Channel Islands or the Isle of Man then you will usually only have to wait a week for your order, unless there is a delay at customs - this is out of ours and the courier's hands! Delays are sporadic and seem to be occurring mostly after clearing customs.
Please note, a local mobile number should be supplied, this is for the couriers use only.
For Non Mainland UK Swatch Service orders, unfortunately our Freepost returns service is not applicable from these destinations. You are responsible for arranging the return back to our UK warehouse and are responsible for all related costs and customs paperwork, as required. Once we have received your returned swatches, your refund will be processed within 10 days. Please note that initial postage costs are not refunded.
Non Mainland UK Delivery Details
Playmats delivered to destinations outside of the mainland UK may be subject to taxes, fees, customs duty, levies or other charges as a result of local legislation or customs formalities.
The recipient of your order is responsible for all customs formalities for the import of the playmats, and may be required to pay any additional charges for delivery, including import duty, formal customs entry, taxes, levies and other charges that may be levied outside mainland UK.
The recipient of the playmats, not the person placing the order, will typically receive a separate request for payment of these charges when the goods arrive in the country of destination. If you are ordering playmats to be delivered to someone else, please ensure they’re aware that they’ll be responsible for these additional charges.
Unfortunately, we have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be, so we are unable to offer any assistance on these processes. We advise that you check any customs formalities and the import charges applicable in any Non-mainland UK Country before ordering Totter + Tumble playmats to be delivered there.
If the recipient wishes to return the product, they must request a refund of the customs duties and/or tax directly with their local customs office and must present proof of return.
GB VAT for Jersey and Guernsey from 2021
Where you have requested delivery to a non-mainland UK address, the products and the delivery service will be zero-rated i.e. not subject to UK VAT. However the price paid by you for the products and/or the delivery service will remain the same as shown on the website. As no VAT has been charged there is no tax to reclaim from us.
However, to transfer this and help our non-UK mainland Totter + Tumblers, we do offer shipping at a greatly subsidised rate.

Totter + Tumble want you to be 100% happy with your purchase so we offer all customers a no-questions-asked money back guarantee.
