Do you ship overseas?
Yes, but not everywhere unfortunately. We are currently not shipping to Europe, as Brexit has caused significant delays and holding in customs. If you are from overseas please be aware that your country may impose customs charges so please check this.
How will my order arrive?
We use Royal Mail as they help us minimise our environmental footprint and are generally prompt and reliable. Orders over £40 will use a signed service.
Do your products come in boxes?
No. To keep postage costs down, prevent waste and ensure the products fit through most letterboxes we send your order in cellophane packaging. However, we do have a gift option which is available for a small additional cost available here.
Why isn't there a receipt with my delivery?
We operate a paperless office and are environmentally aware so receipts are sent by email. You can always email us at hello@dickiebow.co.uk if you need more information about your order.
Do you offer wholesale discounts?
Yes, we love working with others and have a staggered rate of discount depending on the order size. The minimum orders is 100 pieces.
What size is your kids bow tie?
The kids bow tie is 10x5cm. They are fully adjustable and will fit a child from 18 months onwards. Please note we don't recommend them for babies.
Can customers use multiple discount codes on a single order?
Discount codes don't stack. If you have a 10% off discount, they can't also use a "free shipping" coupon. Only one discount at a time can apply to a single order.
Do you care about the environment?
We do. We are doing our best at present to run our shops to create minimal waste so think no printers, minimal packaging, sustainable electricity supplier and we plant trees. 250 so far (Jan 2022). We know we can do more so thats the mission this year.
Why should I buy from Dickie Bow?
Well simply... our stuff is good! We only offer gorgeous items we would wear ourselves and the quality is amazing! As the lead buyer I'm interested in texture so the pieces I select always a delight on the eye and as well as to touch.
We are pretty unique. We are privileged to get snippets of our customers via their editorials on sites like Lovemydress, whimsicalweddings and Rockmywedding so we know we fit the vision of our many creative, DIY wedding customers.
We believe a wedding should be your special day and not a payday for the wedding industry. You can buy beautiful things which can be kept and re-worn over a lifetime, if not by you, then by someone else.
And finally, maybe like me, you have decided to shop with more independent stores whose ethos and ethics resonate with you. We hope thats the case. If you want to know more about our story check out the About Us and Give Back pages.
