Super New website

We hope you’ve noticed the new look to our website?  After many months of designing, building and testing we hope you’ll agree it’s even easier to find your way around.  We’ve improved the way you can search for toys and get ideas for presents.  The images are bigger and sharper too, and over the coming weeks we’ll be working hard to upload extra pictures of many of our toys so you can really see what they’re like.  We’d love to hear your views so do please e-mail us at sales@mulberrybush.co.uk.

SALE !! Stock Take SALE !!

We’ve just completed our annual stock take and we have a number of toys where we have just a few left – in some cases just one.  They won’t feature in our next catalogue so we’ve decided to put them in our Special Offers section on the website and reduced them by up to 40%.  It’s first come first served so why not get yourself a bargain now ?  When they’re gone, they’re gone !

Last Order Date for Christmas & Weather Update at 17th December

Although the recent bad weather severely disrupted deliveries in many parts of the country, both Royal Mail and Parcelforce have reported that their backlogs are being cleared quickly.  We too have caught up fast and all orders placed before Tuesday of this week will have been despatched by the end of today, Friday 17th December*

However in view of the latest snowfall in the North and the forecast for heavy snow in the South we cannot guarantee delivery in time for Christmas for any orders placed after Thursday 16th December.  Whilst we can be certain that we will despatch in good time, we cannot be certain that our couriers will be able to deliver in time because of the possible impact of the weather.

For our customers in Scotland, Parcelforce have advised that they will not accept further parcels into their system after today, Friday 17th December, and we have therefore ensured that all orders for Scottish addresses have left us already to give them the best chance of arriving in time.  We regret therefore we cannot accept any more orders for Scottish postcodes for Christmas delivery.

* Any exceptions will have been contacted by us.

Weather Update 10/12/10

As at 10th December whilst the snow has cleared from the South East of England there are still knock-on effects from last week’s difficult conditions.  Some stock has been delayed coming into us, and all around the country courier companies are working hard to catch up, but still do have backlogs.

As of 9th December ParcelForce are not accepting new parcels into their system where the ultimate delivery address is Scotland, but expect to do so next week once they have cleared their backlog.

We at Mulberry Bush are catching up fast now and fully expect all orders to arrive in time for Christmas, but orders are taking about 10 days to arrive (from the date of placing the order) so we ask that you bear with us.  If you can avoid phoning us to check on the progress of your order that would be appreciated as that only adds to the delay in despatching your order

WEATHER UPDATE

As at Sunday 5th December our office has re-opened after the heavy snow in Sussex.  A combination of record numbers of orders and the awful weather last week unfortunately has meant inevitable delays to orders already in the pipeline. BUT -  We have been packing over the weekend, courier companies have resumed collections and deliveries and all orders placed now will arrive in plenty of time for Christmas. 

If you need to contact us please e-mail us at enquiries@mulberrybush.co.uk.  CAN WE ASK YOU PLEASE NOT TO PHONE US TO CHECK THE PROGRESS OF AN ORDER AS THIS WILL ONLY ADD TO ANY DELAY.
