Track your package

Right Arrow

Once your order leaves our studio or is available for pickup, we'll email you. This email will include your order number and a link to the tracking or pickup information. This will be sent to the email address you provided us when you placed your order.

If you know which carrier has your parcel and have your tracking number, you can access their tracking screens below.

Carrier Shipments

For orders dispatched with a carrier you can track the status of shipment via their website, 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Upon receipt of your item, your carrier will update you via email or sms to advise you of your expected delivery date. On the day of delivery our carrier partners will also provide you with a set of 'in-flight' options designed to make receiving your shipment as convenient as possible. The number of messages you receive will vary depending on which carrier partner has been selected.

In addition to standard 'in-flight' options, our carriers are now offering:

  • Enhanced Delivery Notifications - Start of day 1 hour delivery window, with driver's name personalisation
  • Delay Notifications - Proactive information in the event of a significant delay
  • My Parcel Live - Track the progress of a parcel on delivery, with a countdown to arrival

Postal Shipments

Postal deliveries are made when items are small enough to be sent via Royal Mail tracked.

The Communication Workers Union (CWU) has called on its members who collect, sort and deliver parcels and letters to take strike action in the run-up to Christmas.

Royal Mail assures us that it has well-developed contingency plans, but some difficulties in delivering your parcel will still exist. We’ll be doing what we can to ship your frame orders on time, but we are sorry that this planned strike action by the CWU is likely to cause customers some disruption.


Initially, the action will take place on the following dates:

  • Thursday 20 October 2022
  • Tuesday 25 October 2022

However, if an agreement isn't reached between the CWU and Royal Mail, then further strike action is planned throughout November and December.

Collections (customer, Post Office, postbox)
3, 9, 15, 24 November & 1 December
Parcel and letter deliveries 4, 10, 16, 25 November and 2 December

On days when strike action affects our Royal Mail collection:

  • All priority and express orders will be dispatched using DPD or DX
  • Letters and non-priority and non-express orders will be dispatched the following business day
