MapsOnline realise the importance of keeping their customers informed. You will therefore receive a confirmation e-mail when your order has been received and a further e-mail letting you know that it has been dispatched.

How do we deliver?

We use Royal Mail, DHL and Parcelforce to deliver our envelopes and parcels. Your order will be delivered by either method depending on the size, weight, value of the order and delivery option chosen at checkout.

How quickly do we deliver?

We aim to ship all orders for items that are in stock within 24 hours of receipt of order although it may sometimes take longer if we are very busy. Items such as waterproof maps are laminated to order and can occasionally be slower. We will however contact you immediately if for any reason there is to be a meaningful delay and give you the option to cancel the order and be refunded.

Can I track my delivery?

If your order has been sent by Royal Mail there is no option to track the delivery, if you have received an e-mail informing you that it has been dispatched and you haven’t received it within the suggested timescale (see below) then please call the MapsOnline customer service team on 01726 69442.

If we have dispatched your order via DHL or Parcelforce we will send you a link so that you can track your parcel.

What if I am not in when you deliver?

Our couriers require deliveries to be signed for. If you aren’t there when they deliver, they will try and leave your parcel with a neighbour, if this is not possible they will leave you a contact card to rearrange delivery. The goods will then be held at the local depot who will await your call. If you are not available on the second chosen delivery date, the goods will be returned to our warehouse. Unfortunately we will have to charge for a third delivery attempt.

Can I have my order delivered elsewhere?

This is not a problem. You can select an alternative UK mainland delivery address via the online order form or, if you change your mind after ordering, please call the mapsonline customer service team on 01726 69442.
