Ecological considerations in our packaging and deliveries
Yogipod endeavours to be as eco friendly as it can be in packaging and delivering your orders.
Currently this is what we are doing:
- All plastic mailing bags used are made from recycled polythene which can be recycled again
- All paper mailing bags are made from paper from sustainable sources and can be fully recycled, as can our paper parcel tape
- All cardboard boxes used to send goods have been used before so we are reusing them and extending their life
Delivery Details
Currently we are able to ship to Mainland UK and the countries which make up the European Union. Should you wish to order from elsewhere please contact us directly to discuss further.
Orders will be despatched on Mondays and Thursdays except when bank holidays disrupt this.

Damaged, Incomplete and Undelivered Orders
- Even though we do our best to package goods as well and carefully as possible sometimes parcels do get damaged in transit. In these instances please sign for the parcel but ensure the courier marks it as damaged and take clear photos of the parcel before you open it to inspect the contents.
- Upon opening if you find goods are missing or damaged please contact us within 5 working days so we can discuss with the couriers. We will require photographs in order to progress your claim.
- Once the parcel has been delivered, whether damaged or not, in line with the Consumer Rights Act the responsibility has passed from us as the retailer to you as the receiver so please ensure if goods are being delivered to a neighbour or a safe place that no damage can occur and they are safe.
- Depending on the scale of the damage we will work with you to find a solution to the problem but this will not always result in new products depending on our current stock levels it may mean just a refund.
- If you receive your order and there are items missing, first and foremost we can only apologise.
- Please check the parcel to see if it has been damaged in transit and if so please refer to the point above regarding damages.
- If the item is just missing please contact us immediately on hello@yogipod.co.uk so we can rectify this

- Should the tracking number not display information regarding the delivery or you are worried about you delivery please contact us on hello@yogipod.co.uk so that we can investigate and raise a claim with the courier
- Occasionally parcels go missing and are not delivered by the expected date. Should this be the case please contact us as soon as possible. This gives us the best chance of the couriers finding the parcel which has normally been mislaid rather than lost
- If you think that your parcel may be lost, please contact use using hello@yogipod.co.uk with your order number and tracking number and we will look into it
- Sometimes deliveries are delayed rather than lost so we allow 10 working days from date of despatch, under normal circumstances, for delivery to happen prior to thinking that a parcel may be lost

- The delivery address supplied is incorrect. Please ensure that this is correct when placing your order.

- Failed delivery attempts. Usually couriers try to deliver a couple of times before the parcel is returned to us. Should the delivery be missed and not rearranged then the parcel is returned to us, we will contact you and we will refund you less the shipping costs. A new order will need to be placed to receive the goods again.
- Refused by recipient. When ordering a gift to be sent directly to the recipient, please be sure that they are aware. A gift recipient who isn’t expecting a gift may refuse a parcel if they believe it’s being delivered to them by mistake. Should this happen, your order will be refunded less any shipping costs and an email sent to notify you. You will need to place a new order online.
- Illegible address. In rare cases address labels may become illegible in transit. If this happens a carrier will return the parcel to us. In these instances, we will reship free of charge.
