Ordering & Payment
What payment methods do you accept?
We accept Visa, MasterCard, JCB, and PayPal. All transactions are secure and processed through our encrypted checkout system.
Can I modify or cancel my order after placing it?
Please contact us immediately at [email protected] if you need to change or cancel your order. We process orders quickly (within 1-2 business days), so we can only assist if your order has not yet entered the packing stage.
Delivery & Shipping
Where do you ship to?
We proudly ship to a global community of makers! However, we are currently unable to deliver to parts of Asia and a few other remote regions. Our checkout system will automatically confirm whether we can deliver to your address.
What are my shipping options and costs?
We offer two reliable shipping methods to suit different timelines and budgets:
- Standard Tracked Shipping (ÂŁ12.95): Handled by DHL or FedEx. Delivery takes 10-15 business days after processing and handover. Ideal when you need a balance of speed and cost.
- Free Standard Shipping (on orders over ÂŁ50.00): Handled by EMS. Delivery takes 15-25 business days after processing and handover. Perfect for planning ahead, stocking up, or when budget is key.
Order processing typically takes 1-2 business days before shipping begins.
How can I track my order?
As soon as your parcel is dispatched, we will send you a confirmation email with a tracking number and a link to monitor its progress. You can watch your package of dress patterns, interfacing, and specialty trims make its way to your door.
Are there any additional charges for international orders?
For orders shipped outside the United Kingdom, local customs authorities may levy import duties, taxes, or handling fees. These charges are the recipient’s responsibility and are not included in the item price or shipping cost paid to Jaycotts Shop. We declare all packages at full value as required by international law.
Returns & Exchanges
What is your returns policy?
We want you to be completely satisfied with your purchase. If you need to return an item, please do so within 15 days of receiving your order. Items must be unused, in their original packaging, and in resalable condition. Please contact our support team at [email protected] to initiate a return and receive instructions.
Who pays for return shipping?
Unless the return is due to an error on our part (e.g., wrong item sent), the customer is responsible for the cost of return postage. We recommend using a tracked service for your return.
Account & Support
How do I contact customer service?
For any questions or concerns, especially about a dispatched delivery, please email our dedicated support team at [email protected]. We strive to respond promptly and assist you with professionalism and care.
