Rates, Packaging & Weights
Most JMI items (branded t‑shirts and cotton tote bags) ship as a Small Parcel (≤2kg), which keeps costs low and predictable with Royal Mail’s UK and international services. (https://www.royalmail.com/current-postage-prices)
We use lightweight, recyclable packaging to reduce cost and environmental impact.
Tracking
- UK orders sent via Tracked 24 / 48 include tracking to the delivery point and delivery notifications by email/SMS. (https://www.royalmail.com/sending/uk/tracked-24)
- International Tracked / Tracked & Signed services provide tracking to delivery where available. (https://www.royalmail.com/sending/international)
Tracking details are emailed automatically when your order ships.
Customs, Duties & Taxes (International)
International customers may be charged import VAT, customs duties and/or handling fees by the destination country’s postal operator or courier. These charges are the recipient’s responsibility and are collected before or upon delivery, in line with UK government guidance. (https://www.gov.uk/goods-sent-from-abroad/tax-and-duty)
Address Accuracy & Delivery Issues
Please ensure your shipping address is correct at checkout.
- If a parcel is returned to us due to an incorrect/undeliverable address or non‑payment of import fees, we will refund the item(s) minus the original shipping cost once received back in saleable condition.
- If your order is delayed or shows as delivered but you have not received it, contact us at jewishmusic@jmi.org.uk within 7 days of the scan and we’ll help investigate with the carrier.
Partial Shipments
If an item is on pre‑order or back‑order, we may split your order and ship available items first at no extra UK shipping cost. International split shipping may incur an additional charge — we will contact you before dispatch.
Holiday Periods
During peak periods (e.g., November–December), carriers experience higher volumes and deliveries may take longer than the stated aims. Please order early to avoid disappointment.
