Christmas Deliveries
For the island of Ireland, to have your order in time for Christmas we strongly suggest having your order placed by 11am on December 19th 2024 at the very latest. We will keep dispatching as long as DPD are collecting from us, but we can not promise delivery for Christmas of any order placed after this deadline.
For the United Kingdom, we strongly suggest having your order placed by 11am on December 15th to allow delivery for Christmas.
For Christmas deliveries outside of Ireland please contact us with details and we can guide you to the cut-off dates.
Deliveries
Orders to anywhere on the island of Ireland (including Northern Ireland) placed before noon on a weekday will be dispatched same day with delivery in 2-3 working days.
Orders to mainland UK take 4-5 working days.
How we deliver
Most orders go with DPD's carbon-neutral overnight service. Like all couriers as of now, they use diesel vans. Electric delivery vans are just coming into existence but are not in Ireland yet. DPD are carbon-neutral because they offset their emissions by investing in renewable energy in the developing world, and are always investing in lower-emission vans. We all know offsetting isn't the answer but it's as sustainable as it gets for delivery now. An Post city delivery is also carbon-neutral, and there are a few new couriers with "eco" in their titles, but they're all doing just the same as DPD.
Delivery costs
For retail customers, we subsidise shipping costs to the following:
- Republic of Ireland and Northern Ireland:
- €4.95 for orders under €150;
- Free for all orders over €150.
- Mainland UK: €9.95;
- Other countries: Varies by weight - we ship with An Post registered post and just pass-on the cost per our contract with them - this will be calculated for you at checkout.
Delivery lead time
Orders to anywhere on the island of Ireland placed before noon on a weekday will 95% of the time arrive in 2-3 working days. Orders to mainland UK take 4-5 working days.
Unless you chose a (clearly indicated on our website) pre-order item, in which case your order will dispatch once that is restocked, usually within a week.
You will receive a notification email when your order is on the way.
Packaging
We use minimal packaging while also making sure that your items arrive in perfect condition. We pack plastic-free - using cardboard boxes and paper tape. We re-use packaging we receive (which is also plastic-free - we don't accept plastic in our supply chain).
If you have specific requirements regarding how you would like your order packaged, or if you have received your order and have suggestions about how we could improve it, please email hello@jiminy.ie
Returns
We do our very best to ensure that your items reach you in perfect condition. Please contact us within 7 days of receiving your order to resolve any issues.
If there's no issue but you've just changed your mind, you can return any unused item in exchange for either what you paid for the item, or an alternative item. EU law allows 14 days to tell us you want to return it, and a further 14 days to get the item to us. Submit a return / exchange request online here, or contact us hello@jiminy.ie. Refunds will be processed when the item is returned in original condition. Return and exchange shipping costs are the responsibility of the buyer.
