Shipping

At present, we only deliver to UK Mainland addresses serviced by Royal Mail.

This includes Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands.

If you have placed your order before 3:00 pm on a week day, your order will be dispatched the same working day. Orders after this time will be dispatched the next working day.

Please note any orders placed on weekends, bank holidays, non-working days and strike days by our carrier, etc. will not be dispatched until the next working day.

All our orders are sent by Royal Mail.

Free UK Mainland Delivery is sent by Royal Mail 1st Class post. This untracked service aims to deliver the next working day from dispatch including Saturdays but can take up to 4 working days. If you require your order faster, upgrade to one of our express delivery options.

Our express delivery services both can deliver next working day however we advise additional time in case our carrier is delayed in transit. Our express delivery options are:

  • Royal Mail Tracked 24 (£2.99) - Aims to deliver the next working day from dispatch including Saturdays but can take up to 3 working days. This is a tracked service and you will receive delivery updates via email/text.

  • Royal Mail Special Delivery (£8.99) - Aims to deliver by 1:00 pm the next working day from dispatch including Saturdays but can take up to 2 working days. This is a tracked service and you will receive delivery updates via email/text. A signature is required upon delivery.

Our Free Standard Delivery is sent using Royal Mail 1st Class Post which is an untracked postal service. If, however, you have upgraded to one of our Express Delivery services you will be provided with the tracking number which you can track on the Royal Mail website.

Our Express Delivery services also provide delivery notifications/updates by email and/or text if you have provided your mobile number.

If you have made a mistake with your delivery address, please contact our Customer Service Team as soon as possible with your order number and the correct address.

If you contact us too late, there is a chance that your order may have already been dispatched and therefore we will not be able to retrieve it from our carrier.

FSC certification means that the Forest Stewardship Council, an international non-governmental organisation, has certified the paper stock as coming from a well managed forest. Our cards are always printed on paper stock that is FSC certified.

For more information about the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC), their website can be found here.

All our cards are printed in the UK on responsibly sourced paper stock and are also certified by the Forest Stewardship Council (FSC) giving you peace of mind that your card has been made with the sustainability of our precious forests in mind.

Some of our cards are left blank inside, however many of them have printing and wording inside to make them even more special. Please see the product details to see whether the card has wording or is left blank inside.

All our greetings cards are supplied with a premium quality envelope for you to send the card in.

As part of our dedication to becoming a more sustainable company each year, our greetings cards are now sent naked or in compostable bags*.

Our supplier advises that these Nativia® PLA compostable bags made from bio-based content have more options for their end-of-life than compared to traditional plastic bags made from oil.

*Any greeting cards that have already been packed in traditional cellophane will still be sent out.

We do not offer handwritten messages as a standard service, however we always like to offer the best customer service we can, so please place your order with the recipient's address and then contact our Customer Service Team within 5 minutes with your order number and the handwritten message you would like writing inside the card*.

Please note if you do not make contact within 5 minutes of placing your order, there is a chance that your order will have already been dispatched and we will not be able to retrieve it from our carrier.

*Please note the message will be handwritten and is limited to 50 words max.

All our cards and wrapping papers are ready printed and therefore the wording and designs cannot be altered.

Our gift wrap is now printed in the UK on premium quality silk paper stock giving it a thick and luxurious feel.

All our gift wrap is supplied in individual folded sheets.

All our gift wrap is supplied with matching gift tags that measure 85 x 55 mm in size.

Hunts England is an independent brand of premium greeting cards and gift wraps. It was founded in 2018 by Thomas Hunt and Nick Hunt.

From our studio on the North Yorkshire Coast, we specialise in producing luxury greetings cards as well as gift wrapping paper for a wide range of occasions.

We pay particular attention to the materials we use to ensure every product we produce has a premium feel to it as well as trying to keep the manufacturing of our products as close to home to reduce our impact on the environment.

We do not have our own retail store, however our greetings cards are sold by multiple small independent retailers around the UK.
