The vast majority of UK and Irish orders are despatched within 1-2 working days via either Royal Mail or a next day courier service delivery.


There may be additional surcharges for your area. This is a charge levied by the courier. We do not pass on the total cost to our customers and so have set the prices as follows:


Isle of Wight & Isles of Scilly £4.50 + VAT
Scottish Highlands & Northern Ireland £10.00 + VAT
Southern Ireland, Jersey and Guernsey, Orkneys, Shetlands, Skye, Mull, Isle of Man & Isle of Lewis £20.00 + VAT

We are delighted to announce that we are now partnering with new couriers. Widely recognised as one of the best courier companies in the country, DPD will text and / or email you with an estimate of the delivery time which is accurate to within 1 hour in the vast majority of cases.


To help us ensure that DPD can contact you please make sure you have given us a mobile number if possible. You can simply enter the number in the box below alongside any comments (such as details of a safe location where the parcel can be left without being signed for * or a neighbour who can accept the parcel on your behalf).


DpdDPD also operate a zero CO2 policy on all deliveries which fits in perfectly with the environmentally aware ethos here at Amphora.




*If you arrange for the parcel to be left without being signed for then Amphora Aromatics LTD cannot be held responsible if it goes missing.

If you are ordering from outside of the UK just take a minute or two to read through the information below before placing your order. It contains a few handy facts that may answer any questions you might have about postage, shipping and placing your order.


Our minimum requirement for all overseas orders remains at £100.00GBP plus postage.


We ship all our orders via courier, or via freight forwarder for larger orders. Unfortunately we do not accept customers arranging their own shipping companies to collect.

Please place your order online as this is the most efficient way to process your order. You will need to create an account on our website if you haven't already. Then continue to place your order by choosing items from our online shop. When you have finished ordering and go through to the checkout, you will be guided through the process and prompted to give us all the information we need to process your order efficiently. You will be given the shipping cost before you finalise your order if it is available, and before you have to give your payment details. If for some reason you are not given the shipping cost you will need place your order as usual and we will then email you a quote for shipping within a few working days. Please choose to pay by telephone or fax if this is the case. If anything is out of stock, please remove it from your order to continue.

Bulk Orders

We have a lead time of up to 10 working days for all orders containing bulk sizes (100ml, 500ml, Litres & KG's), so please allow plenty of time when ordering bulk sizes.

Import Duty

You may have to pay import duty on goods you purchase from us. Please check with your local Customs office.

VAT

EEC customers who at the time of ordering that provide us with a valid VAT/EEC Trade number will not be liable to pay UK VAT. If a VAT number is not provided with your order then VAT will be charged. All other customers outside of the EEC do not pay UK VAT.

Transit Times

Transit times can vary, usually from 2 to 5 working days under most circumstances by courier, maybe longer if by freight forwarder. Customs occasionally carry out random security checks which can sometimes cause a delay of a day or so for clearance. Please allow plenty of time for orders that are needed by a specific date.

UK Delivery

UK Delivery is free of charge for orders over 100.00GBP - We are more than happy to post your order to a friend or family member in the UK. We will need a full name, address and telephone number of the recipient. A person at that address will need to be home to receive and sign for the goods. We have to charge UK VAT for all orders delivered within the UK, but the postage is free to most UK addresses for orders over 100.00GBP. Unfortunately we do not offer a VAT reclamation service. If you order goods by mail order in the UK, you cannot reclaim your VAT.

BFPO Addresses

We are unable to ship to BFPO addresses.

Payment

Payment can be made by most major credit/debit cards (Visa, Switch/Maestro, Mastercard, American Express) via our secure online shopping or by bank transfer (details available upon request). Any bank charges incurred for bank transfers must be paid for by you, the customer. Goods will only be dispatched upon receipt of full payment. Card transactions are not processed immediately online. A real person processes the payments manually when the order is complete. When you make a payment online your bank is instructed to hold the payment until we actually take the payment.

Payment must be made by bank transfer for all orders over £1000.00GBP.

Dangerous Goods in Transport

Some of our products are Considered Dangerous Goods for Transport, because some products are flammable or are environmentally hazardous in larger amounts. Regulation dictates that we cannot ship these items to some countries. All of the Dangerous Goods on the website are clearly marked with a red diamond symbol on the product page. This includes the majority of essential oils and fragrances.

Orders containing bulk sizes (anything over 30ml per bottle) of Dangerous Goods have to be accompanied by special documentation and need to be packed to specific Air Transport Association requirements and therefore they levy a standard static Dangerous Goods Surcharge of £45.00GBP on top of the shipping cost. This charge is from the shipping company not Amphora. Shipping 10ml bottles does not have a Dangerous Goods Surcharge.

Here is the list of countries we can currently send Dangerous Goods to:

 

  • Argentina
  • Austria
  • Belgium
  • Canada
  • Czech Republic
  • Denmark
  • France
  • Italy
  • Germany
  • Japan
  • Korea (South)
  • Liechtenstein
  • Luxembourg
  • Malaysia
  • Monaco
  • Netherlands
  • Philippines
  • Sweden
  • Switzerland
  • United States

If your country is not in this list, please enquire. Our freight forwarder may have another option. We will not be able to send dangerous goods with your own freight forwarder. We use our own preferred freight forwarder for all dangerous goods freight. Please be aware that a freight forwarder is mainly for larger shipments (pallets) and can be very expensive for smaller orders. Please enquire.

Export Office Hours 8:00am to 4:00pm Monday to Friday. All orders placed online over the weekend or public holidays will be processed the next working day.


If you have any further questions please contact us and we will be happy to help.

Once any pending points have been approved, they will be released and your account will be credited with the value of those points. Ready for you to spend on whatever you want.
Reward points will expire 12 months from the date issuance.
You must login to your account in order to view the status of your points.

During the checkout procces you'll be able to pay for your order with your points balance.

To do that we need to ask for your consent to process specifically your contact information with your purchasing trends (what you buy from us and how often) to identify who would best benefit from any particular promotion. This very basic marketing supports us both by offering you savings and benefits on products which helps secure your purchasing loyalty with us while at the same time keeping you informed and up to date of the latest in Aromatherapy products.

If following consent Amphora Holdings Ltd do not contact you promoting its products and services for a period greater than eighteen months your consent will need to be re-sought.

The personal information retained is not collected through observation, by tracking people online or by smart devices. It’s not derived from combining other data sets and it’s not inferred by automated processing using algorithms to analyse a variety of data, such as social media, location data and records of purchases elsewhere to profile business’s or people.

For the sole purpose of completing your order, we have to pass some of your information to service suppliers (other companies). These are - our courier services. The information passed to these companies is used only for the purpose of completing your order - e.g. delivering your stuff!

How is my personal information protected:                                                                                                                                                                                                                   

Personal information is stored locally at Amphora Holdings Ltd electronically and has secured access by authorised personnel only. Information is regularly backed up for secure off-site storage, and to a secure online storage facility.

Information is held for the duration of a business’s solvency until it ceases to trade or a request is made to withdraw consent in part or in full.

Your right to view, change or amend personal information retained or to withdraw consent in part or in full:

You are entitled to request any personal contact information be rectified if it is inaccurate or incomplete. Any request must be written and addressed to The Data Controller which will be responded to within one month of receipt.

The right to erasure does not provide an absolute ‘right to be forgotten’. You have a right to have personal data erased to prevent it being processed when you withdraw consent. You can withdraw consent in part or in full, for example you may wish to be contacted by Email only when marketing our products and services. To make a request to withdraw consent please contact Amphora Holdings Ltd Data Controller.

Amphora Holdings Ltd reserves the right to terminate any agreement to sell too or support if any request of change or amendment to information limits, impairs or prevents its ability to provide an appropriate and adequate standard of service using our existing systems and procedures going forward.

CCTV at Amphora Holdings Ltd, 36 Cotham Hill, Cotham, Bristol BS6 6LA                                                                                               

CCTV footage is recorded for building security. It’s taken by four CCTV cameras, two in the store room and two in the showroom on the ground floor of the building where they don’t unnecessarily intrude on anyone’s privacy but where they best support their purpose.

The Data Controller and authorised employees at Amphora Holdings Ltd are the only persons who have access to the CCTV Footage detailed above. No other person will be granted access to any footage except lawful representation in the case of a breach of security to assist in identifying a perpetrator.

The Information Commissioners Office regulates the use of CCTV footage because it involves the processing of personal information capturing and/or recording images of identifiable individuals. Because CCTV is covered by the Data Protection Act, you have the right to see information held about you, including CCTV images which give away information about you (such as your car number plate). A Subject Access Request will be required for consideration to view any footage and if authorised will be supplied on a DVD unencrypted and will therefore be required to be signed for and collected in person.

The Data Protection Controller at Amphora Holdings Ltd is responsible for CCTV footage, deciding what is recorded, how images should be used and who they should be disclosed to.

Statement of transparency and fairness                                                                                                                                                                                                                        

Amphora Holdings Ltd regard the personal information collected when manually processed with a business’s purchasing history to be fair to retain and necessary for the specific action or business of marketing and promoting its products and services. The information is protected, it’s not shared with any third parties, it’s not used for any form of automated processing or decision making and is used in a way that people would reasonably expect.

It’s assumed that collecting and retaining this basic information in conjunction with any purchasing history (what you buy from us and how often) will cause no justified adverse effect on businesses or individuals concerned and is there-fore not likely to cause objection or complaint. In the event it does, please contact The Data Controller who will exercise your right to withdraw consent. In circumstances you deem appropriate, you can exercise your right to lodge a complaint with the appropriate supervisory authority and or seek a judicial remedy without undue delay, at the latest within one month.
