Delivery of Aromantic Products


We despatch in-stock items within 1-3 working days* (sooner whenever possible) to UK postcodes. Small items e.g. in-stock 10ml essential oils and 50ml or 100ml vegetable oils will always be sent out quickly. If your order contains larger quantities of a product that requires filling it may delay despatch time. Depending on the size and value of your order, we will either send your parcel using Royal Mail's 1st Class service or our 24-hour courier services (APC Overnight or Parcel Force).

*Please note this may take longer in busy periods - please look out for e-mails from us. Whilst we cannot be held responsible for any delays to your order once the goods have left our premises, we will help you to trace your parcel wherever possible. We observe English Bank Holidays therefore orders may take longer to be despatched. You will receive an e-mail from us with your invoice, the day we despatch your order. Any telephone or web orders, whether placed on a weekend, or during a holiday period, will not be processed until the next working day.

Royal Mail have updated their delivery policy in some postcode areas, please see here for further information.

Whilst we use either Royal Mail 1st Class service or a 24-hour courier service, please always allow 2 working days for delivery to your address after DESPATCH (you will receive an e-mail when we despatch your order). Courier parcels despatched on Friday will not be delivered until the following Monday.

Unfortunately we have no control over how long your parcel will take to arrive once it has left us.

If you think your parcel is taking too long to arrive, please allow 5 working days for First Class Royal Mail and two working days for 24-hour courier (APC Overnight or Parcel Force) before contacting us.

We aim to send out a replacement if your parcel has not arrived within seven days, but expect you to have gone through the usual checking procedures first: checking with neighbours, the local sorting office, your local post office, etc.

Dangerous Goods Policy

Due to certain laws and regulations from the transportation authorities, some of the products we sell are classified as dangerous goods. These products include some of our essential oils, aromas, perfume concentrates and zinc oxide. For more information regarding as to why they are classified this way, please speak with our customer service team about requesting the Safety Data Sheets (SDS) for each individual product.

In the case of Essential Oils its usually because the flash point of the oil is under 60°C and therefore classified as a Dangerous Good according to the UN.

Because of the laws and regulations being imposed when shipping, these products fall under strict rules regarding how they must be packaged and transported. This not only affects Aromantic, but any supplier that ships these types of materials. Due to these strict regulations that are imposed on packaging, especially for international orders, our international customers that have orders going via courier are going to be affected. For some orders, an extra surcharge will need to be paid. The reason for this is that extra documents and handling fees are incurred for shipping a parcel that contains what regulations consider to be dangerous goods. Any order that contains Essential Oils, Perfume Concentrates and/or Zinc Oxide, that are classified as dangerous goods, will incur this extra surcharge, which currently ranges between £4-£69 plus VAT where applicable. We do our best to decant when possible to help keep the surcharges to a minimum but we have a limit to what we can do. Please contact our customer service team if you have any questions.

When placing an order on our site the system will automatically apply any relevant surcharges as part of your shipping price. Unfortunately at this time we are unable to split the costs out and it is all calculated into the total shipping price displayed to you when you go through the checkout.

Please see below the list of our essential oils, aromas and perfume concentrates below that are classified as dangerous goods. This is may not be up to date as the same product can vary from batch to batch and supplier to supplier as to where the flash point falls on the particular batch.
