Inspired Gift Cards

These are sent by 1st class Royal Mail letter post and should reach you within 2 working days (for orders completed by 12 noon) and within 3 days for orders completed after 12 noon. Express delivery is not available for Inspired Gift cards. Inspired Gift eGreetings and Print-At-Home Certificates will be sent within 1 hour of your order being completed.

Greetings Cards and Gift Orders

Except where stated on the individual product page (and shown in your shopping basket) these orders will be processed straight away and reach you within 7 working days. (For express delivery, this will be within 2-3 working days).

Many artisan gifts, as identified on the individual product pages - are sent directly to you from the country of origin - at an extra charge. This charge will also appear in the shopping basket for you to see. These gifts, on average, should be delivered 2-3 weeks. This will depend on availability and shipping service.

Shipping Service:

During checkout, we will show you a list of available shipping services and their corresponding prices and timeframes. You may also view shipping charges and timeframes through the "Delivery Estimate" link in the shopping basket. Note some items carry a special delivery timeframe that may differ from that of other items from the same region -- these items are clearly labeled with the special timeframe on the product detail page (as well as in checkout).

Should we anticipate a delay in you receiving your order we will contact you via email.

When ordering multiple artisan items that are shipped directly from the regions where they were made, your delivery charges can get quite high. To keep charges low, it's often better to choose multiple items from the same region. For example, if you order 3 rings from Indonesia, you will only be charged one shipping fee. But if you order 1 ring from India, 1 ring from Peru, and 1 ring from Mexico, then you will be charged for 3 shipping fees.

Refunds will be available for up to 60 days from the day you receive your order. You must request a Returned Merchandise authorisation (RMA) number during this 60-day period to qualify for a refund.

To request an RMA number, please log in to your account, visit the Orders & Returns section, and locate the order that contains the item(s) you would like to return. If your return is in any way a result of an error by UNICEF Market, we will provide you with a prepaid return label and will happily refund all applicable shipping costs paid on the product(s) you are returning.

If the return is not the result of an error by UNICEF Market, you will be responsible for all shipping and gift box costs incurred for the order and any costs associated with returning the item(s). Please send your return using a reliable delivery service that offers tracking. It is strongly recommended that you insure the package, as you will be responsible for ensuring that all items arrive at the returns center in their original condition.

IMPORTANT NOTE: Refunds will not be issued if the returned products have been damaged or altered in any way before arriving at the Returns Center.

No refunds will be available after the 60-day returns period has expired.
