Frequently asked questions

Christmas and gifting

When do I need to order for Christmas?

For UK delivery before Christmas, order by 12pm on Thursday 17 December for standard delivery, or by 12pm on Monday 21 December for next day delivery.

Can I add a handwritten note?

Yes, to any order. Add your message in the notes box in your basket and we will handwrite it on a card.

Will my order come in a gift box?

Gift sets and almost all of our pieces come in our signature gift box. Single scrunchies, hair ties and hair ribbons come without one, so you can add a gift box for £5.

Can I send a gift straight to someone else?

Yes. Just enter their address as the delivery address at checkout. We never put prices or invoices in the box.

Delivery and tracking

When will my order be shipped?

Weekday orders placed before 12pm are shipped the same day. Later orders go out the next working day, and weekend orders on Monday.

How do I track my order?

We email you a tracking link as soon as your order is shipped. It usually starts updating the next day.

My order hasn't arrived. What should I do?

If your UK order hasn't arrived within 5 working days, email us at info@thesilkcollection.co.uk with your order number and we will chase it for you.

My parcel arrived damaged. What should I do?

Email us straight away with your order number and a photo, and we will make it right.

Returns

How do I return something?

Items can be returned within 30 days of delivery, unused and in their original packaging. Email info@thesilkcollection.co.uk to start your return. Return postage is paid by the customer.

Can Christmas gifts be returned after Christmas?

Yes. Orders placed from 7 November 2026 can be returned until 30 January 2027.

Where can I read the full returns policy?

Everything is in our returns and refunds policy.

International orders

Will I pay anything extra on delivery to the US?

Will I pay duties in other countries?

Outside the UK and US, any import duties or customs fees are set by your country and payable on delivery.
