Order & Delivery Support

Shipping & Delivery

Welcome to the Shipping and Delivery information page for Modalerts.shop. This page explains how orders are confirmed, how payment instructions are provided, when dispatch preparation begins and how customers receive shipment tracking information. It also covers delivery details, possible delays and the steps to take if a shipment-related problem arises.

48-hour dispatch target

Modalerts.shop targets dispatch within 48 hours of payment being made. This is an operational dispatch target, not a guaranteed dispatch deadline or a 48-hour delivery promise. Delivery takes place after dispatch, and arrival times may vary.

The process

How Your Order Progresses

Our order process includes a confirmation stage before payment instructions are provided. This allows customers to review their order details and confirm that they wish to proceed.

The following steps explain how an order progresses from submission to dispatch and tracking.

Step 1

Place Your Order

Submit your order through the Modalerts.shop website. Your order details are received for confirmation, but payment is not collected directly through the website checkout.

Step 2

Confirm Your Order

An order confirmation request is sent by email. Where WhatsApp communication is available, the same request may also be sent through WhatsApp.

You must confirm that you wish to proceed before payment instructions are provided.

Step 3

Receive Payment Instructions

Once your order has been confirmed, payment instructions are provided separately from the website checkout.

Further details about this process are available on our Payment Information page.

Step 4

Make Payment

Payment can be made using the instructions provided after order confirmation.

The 48-hour dispatch target begins when payment is made, rather than when the order was initially submitted or confirmed.

Step 5

Receive Payment Acknowledgement

After payment, a thank-you and payment acknowledgement email is sent.

Where WhatsApp communication is available, payment acknowledgement may also be provided through that channel.

Step 6

Dispatch Preparation

Following payment, your order enters the dispatch preparation process.

The business works towards completing dispatch within the stated 48-hour target.

Step 7

Target Dispatch Within 48 Hours

Modalerts.shop aims to dispatch orders within 48 hours of payment.

This target relates to dispatch only and does not establish a guaranteed delivery date.

Step 8

Receive Tracking Information

Tracking information is provided after dispatch.

Customers can use this information to follow their shipment’s progress, subject to updates becoming available through the delivery network.

Dispatch timing

When Does the 48-Hour Dispatch Period Start?

The 48-hour dispatch target begins from the time payment is made. It does not begin when an order is submitted, when a confirmation request is received or when the customer confirms the order.

For example, if an order is placed on one day but payment is made later, the dispatch target begins at the time of payment.

The target refers to the period before dispatch, not the time required for delivery. It does not guarantee that an order will be dispatched or delivered within a fixed timeframe.

Two separate stages

Understanding Dispatch and Delivery

Dispatch and delivery are separate stages of the shipping process. Understanding this distinction helps customers interpret order updates and shipment progress accurately.

What Does Dispatch Mean?

Dispatch is the stage when an order has been prepared and sent into the delivery process.

The stated 48-hour target relates to this stage after payment has been made.

What Does Delivery Mean?

Delivery refers to the shipment’s journey after dispatch and its eventual arrival at the destination.

Delivery times depend on the circumstances affecting the shipment and delivery network. The dispatch target should therefore not be used to calculate or assume a specific arrival date.

Tracking

Tracking Your Order

Tracking information is provided once an order has been dispatched. Customers should retain their order confirmation and tracking details for reference when reviewing shipment progress or contacting Customer Support.

Tracking updates depend on the delivery network and may not appear immediately or at regular intervals. Any estimated arrival information displayed through tracking should be treated as an estimate rather than a guaranteed delivery date.

If tracking appears delayed or shipment progress is unclear, Customer Support can be contacted for assistance.

Before you order

Providing Accurate Delivery Information

Accurate delivery details help reduce avoidable shipment problems. When submitting an order, customers should check that the following information is complete and correct:

  • Recipient’s full name
  • Delivery address, including any relevant building or flat number
  • Town or city
  • Postcode
  • Relevant contact information, where requested

Incorrect or incomplete details may contribute to delays or delivery difficulties.

Customers who identify an error after order submission should contact Customer Support promptly. Whether the details can be amended depends on the order’s current processing and dispatch status.

If something goes wrong

Delays, Problems and Changes

Possible Delivery Delays

Dispatch and delivery may occasionally be affected by circumstances outside the normal order process. These can include transport disruption, carrier delays, severe weather, public holidays or inaccurate delivery information.

Customs or border procedures may also affect certain shipments where applicable. These circumstances do not necessarily affect every order, and their impact can vary.

If a shipment takes longer than expected, customers can review the available tracking information or contact Customer Support for assistance. The 48-hour dispatch target does not establish a guaranteed arrival date.

If There Is a Problem With Delivery

Customers should contact Customer Support if tracking appears delayed, a parcel has not arrived when expected, delivery information seems incorrect or an item arrives with a problem that needs to be reported.

When making an enquiry, please provide the order reference, relevant order details and a clear description of the issue. Tracking information may also be useful.

Customer Support can review the available information and assist with the enquiry as appropriate.

Any applicable cancellation, return, refund or other remedy will be considered in accordance with the relevant policies and statutory consumer rights.

Changing Your Delivery Details

If you identify an error in your delivery address or contact details, please contact Customer Support as soon as possible.

Include your order reference and explain which information requires correction.

The ability to amend delivery information depends on the order’s processing or dispatch status. Changes may not be possible once an order has entered the delivery process.

Submitting a request does not guarantee that the amendment can be completed.

Cancellations

Cancellations, Returns and Refunds

Customers wishing to cancel an order should contact Customer Support with their order reference and relevant details.

How a cancellation request is handled may depend on the order’s processing or dispatch status and any applicable legal rights.

For information about cancellation requests, returns and refunds, please refer to our Returns & Refunds policy.

This Shipping and Delivery page explains the order and shipment process. It does not replace the Returns & Refunds policy or limit applicable statutory consumer rights.
