Get help with the website

Mail Shop is aware that customers will use a diverse variety of operating systems and browsers to access the site. While they want every customer to have the best possible experience on the website, it is recognised that it is impossible to develop applications and sites that work identically, efficiently, and effectively with all browsers.

Some customers will find it hard to navigate around the website – or may get errors or technical issues. You can solve most technical issues on the website by asking the customer to restart their web browser or to try using a different browser, such as Google Chrome or Internet Explorer. Alternatively, you can suggest trying restarting their device.

Promotional queries

Occasionally products are on promotion by selected Sellers or Third Party Promoters that are not always available for purchase on Mail Shop. Customers can contact the Seller directly using the contact details printed in the newspaper and they will be able to assist further. Stock availability is managed by the Seller. However, the site will update if a product is out of stock. On the product page, there is an option for the customer to enter their email address and be alerted when/if the product is back in stock.

Unfortunately sellers are currently unable to deliver certain products outside UK mainland. The product page will specify whether sellers deliver to the Highland Islands, Northern Ireland, Channel Isles, Isles of Scilly and BFPO. If sellers are not able to deliver to a customer’s chosen delivery address, they will be notified during the checkout process.

Adding a promotional code to the order
Once customers reach the checkout stage, there will be a box to enter the voucher code. Once applied, the new total will be displayed with the voucher applied.
