Understanding tracking events

When your order is despatched from our nursery, you will receive an email with your tracking details so you can follow its journey to you. Our main couriers are Yodel and Evri, and each will provide updates at different stages of the delivery process.

Tips for Tracking Your Parcel

  • If your tracking hasn’t updated for 48 hours, it may be awaiting its next scan or experiencing a minor delay.
  • “We Have It” (Yodel) and “We’ve Got It” (Evri) can cover several stages – always check the timestamp for context.
  • For missed deliveries, the courier will usually attempt delivery again the next working day.
