Shipping & Delivery

How does shipping and delivery work?

So you've made an order? Welcome to the The Wellness Collective family!

Once you have placed an order, our team will carefully package your items and ship them within 24-48 hours. To speed up delivery if your order contains different types of products, you may sometimes receive them separately so we can get them to you as fast as possible.

Your products will be sent, and then they should be safely in your patiently waiting hands within 5-9 business days**.

As soon as your order is sent you will receive a shipping confirmation email from us complete with a tracking number so you can follow its journey.

Although we require a signature on delivery, due to current COVID-19 limitations this is at the discretion of the delivery driver and they may leave your package in a safe place, or take it to your nearest post office if you are not home.

*Please note: We send via signature required post to ensure safe delivery - if you opt for ‘Authority To Leave’ yourself, we are not responsible for the package in the rare case it is missing or stolen.

**Please note: all shipping timeframes are from the advertised date of dispatch. Should your item have a pre-order date (advised next to the product name in brackets), this is the date of dispatch. The delivery timeframe starts from the pre-order date it ships on. If there’s no date next to the product name, you’re in luck - it’s ready to go!

How much do I pay for shipping?

All orders include FREE and fast delivery UK-wide, no matter how many products you order.

When will my order arrive?

Once your order is picked and packed, the magical journey from The Wellness Collective HQ to your front door begins.

All orders (no matter how many products you purchase) include FREE and fast delivery UK-wide. You can expect your order to arrive within 5-9 business days* from the day you place it.

*Please note: Although our courier company quotes us these expected delivery times, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date.

How do I track my order?

Yay, time to celebrate – your order is on its way! After we pass your order to our courier, we will send you a shipping confirmation email which will have a ‘Track Order’ button. This will take you directly to the courier's site so you can follow the live tracking updates!

Haven’t received your shipping confirmation email yet? Check your spam folder too (it may have ended up there).

Help, I think my order is lost/hasn’t been delivered?

Think your order might be lost in transit? Although our courier company quotes us 5-9 business days for standard delivery, sometimes life happens and they aren’t able to deliver within this timeframe. When this is the case, your tracking number may show a ‘delayed’ delivery date.

If your order isn’t delivered within 20 days, please contact us and we can launch an investigation with our courier company.

*Please note: For any queries or issues related to your courier order, we recommend you first reach out to them directly. While we understand delays are frustrating, we are required to work within our courier's processes. Once you have contacted them directly, let us know and we can contact them on your behalf to try and resolve any issues ASAP.

Can I change my shipping address?

Oops, is your order not being sent to the right address? We can absolutely help change this for you! Provided your order has not shipped, please send us the new details and we can change this over for you.

If your order has been shipped, don’t panic! You can still redirect it via the tracking link we provide on your shipping confirmation email.

*Please note: We can only send your order to the address you provide on your order - if you have provided an incorrect address, and the package is delivered there, we are unable to retrieve it so please check your address carefully!

Do you ship internationally?

At this time, we only deliver our products to customers in United Kingdom.

Are there any customs/import fees?

All our products are shipped right here in the UK, out of our distribution centre. This means there’s no need to stress about any customs fees, as it’s shipping from your own backyard.

Product Questions

How often should i use a LED Light Therapy Device?

For most people, 3-5 times per week is optimal for achieving noticeable improvements without overdoing it. If you have specific concerns, such as acne or signs of aging, you may want to start with more frequent use and adjust accordingly based on your skin’s response.

How does red light therapy work?

Red and near-infrared light therapy boosts the energy production in your cells by stimulating the mitochondria, which act as the powerhouses of each cell. Mitochondria generate energy in the form of ATP (adenosine triphosphate), essential for various cellular functions. The specific wavelengths of red and near-infrared light interact with a key enzyme in the mitochondria called cytochrome c oxidase. This interaction enhances the mitochondria’s ability to produce ATP, which, in turn, improves the overall function and health of cells. As a result, the increased cellular energy supports better performance and well-being throughout the body.

What time of the day is best for using red light therapy?

The best time to use red light therapy depends on your goals and routine. Many people prefer using it in the morning to boost energy, improve mood, and increase alertness. It’s also highly effective before a workout, as it helps enhance performance and circulation, and after a workout to speed up recovery by reducing soreness and inflammation. Additionally, using red light therapy in the evening can promote relaxation and improve sleep quality by supporting circadian rhythms. Ultimately, its flexibility allows you to incorporate it into your schedule at any time of day that suits your needs, whether for skin health, pain relief, or general wellness. Consistency is key to experiencing the full benefits of red light therapy.

Do you offer wholesale or bulk purchase discounts?

Our products are only sold on our online store, so we do not offer wholesale discounts for reselling. If you are looking to make a bulk personal purchase, please contact us here for more information!

*Please note: This is subject to stock availability.

Can I send an order as a gift?

Have a special someone who you think needs some of our products in their life? You can ship any TWC products directly to that lucky lad or lady by entering their address as the shipping address, and your own as the billing address. Plus we don’t include any value invoices inside the box as any receipts are sent directly to your own email address. It’s that easy!

*Please note: Due to the fact we use external fulfilment partners, we are unable to include messages in the package - we’re sorry!

Are you stocked in any stores anywhere?

Nope, it’s just us! Our products are only available on our online store here in the UK. Unfortunately, we don't currently offer international shipping.

Returns & Exchanges

Do you have a returns policy?

Sorry, we know this is the boring legal mumbo-jumbo, but take a minute to have a read of our return policy. We offer a 30-day risk free trial of our products, during which you can return them at any time.

However, not all items are eligible. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout. To be eligible for a return:

1. Item(s) have to be initiated for return and placed in the post within 100 days of the delivery/receiving of order.

2. Item(s) were not marked “Final Sale” or “Non-Returnable” at the time of purchase, unless faulty.

3. Item(s) must be in the original packaging, which must be in original condition.

This includes attached tags and packaging. You will be asked to put your photography skills to the test and provide a photo of your item prior to sending it back to us so we can assess the condition.

*Please note: If you are returning one of your items from a bundle, your order is no longer valid at that bundle pricing.

How long do I have to return the products?

We know the drill – you’ve been needing to return it, but life gets in the way. We are happy to help you return that one, and offer a 30 day return period for you to make that tough decision! Please refer to our returns policy for more information.

Can I return my order for a refund?

Sadly, we know that sometimes our products are just not quite the right fit for some people. You can certainly return anything you order from us for a full refund, provided it is returned within 30 days.

*Please note: Not all items are eligible for return. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout. All products must be returned in as new condition, with any tags and the original box.

**Please note: If you are returning one of your items from a bundle, your order is no longer valid at that bundle pricing.

Do I have to pay for returns?

We’ve got you covered here too. All eligible returns (for both refunds and exchanges) within the UK will be covered with a free return shipping label that we are happy to organise for you, which means no expenses at the post office! Just contact our friendly team here and they will be able to help you along the way.

*Please note: Not all items are eligible for return. Any exclusions will be called out on product pages and / or at checkout.

How long does it take for my return/exchange to be processed?

We are working hard behind the scenes to get our products in and out of our fulfilment centres. We strongly encourage that you send through a photo of your receipt from the post office as proof your return has been lodged. As soon as we have this information, we can action either your exchange or refund immediately! If you forget to grab this receipt, we will just need to wait until that one gets back to our warehouse before we can go ahead.

How long does it take for my refund to be processed?

We’re sad to see you go! Should you receive a refund for your order, you will receive an email confirming this has been processed from our end. From there, it will take 2-5 business days to process into your account, depending on your bank. If it takes any longer than this, we would recommend contacting your bank or merchant directly.

Payment

How secure is your payment?

All jokes aside - your privacy and security is our highest priority. We use Shopify Payments which is an extremely secure and highly encrypted system designed to protect customers and also hold merchants accountable.

What payment types do you offer?

We accept the good old-fashioned methods of payment, such as credit cards (Visa/Mastercard/American Express) as well as debit cards that can be used for online transactions. If you’re a bit more tech-savvy, we offer Google Pay and Apple Pay too!

Do you have payment plan options?

Unfortunately, we don't currently offer any split pay options (like Afterpay, Klarna or ZipPay). These are coming soon though!

How do I use a discount code?

Woo, it’s on sale - so you’re basically saving money (at least, that’s what we tell ourselves when something is on sale). Simply head to the checkout, and on the first page of the checkout there will be a box for you to enter your discount code in - make sure to click ‘Apply’! This is offered before the payment page so you’re totally aware of how much you can save.

*Please note: Only one discount code can be used per order. If you are purchasing multiple bundles and discounts, we suggest placing separate orders. Strikethrough prices may consider the discount code mentioned in the description. Please check email offers for which items the code is applicable for (eg. specific products only).

I forgot to use my discount code!

Made your purchase, and as the payment was loading you realised with horror you hadn’t added your discount? Never fear, that opportunity hasn’t slipped away! Simply contact our helpful team here and they will be happy to help correct this for you.

What currency is the store in?

All pricing for our UK store is listed in British Pound Sterlings (GBP).

Contact Us

I have an issue with my order, what can I do?

Something not quite right with your order? Don’t worry, our team is ready to spring into action! Please contact us to advise of the issue, and to help resolve things quickly we request you include photos so we can help identify what has happened.

I need to cancel or change my order!

These things happen! Please email us immediately with the subject line CHANGE or CANCEL and we will do our absolute best to carry out your request. If it has already been dispatched from our warehouse, you will need to go through our returns process.

As we do our best to get your orders out to you as soon as we can, occasionally an order will be processed before the team has a chance to change it. We cannot guarantee a change of order after the order is placed so please select your items carefully.
