Unfortunately, once an order has been submitted and payment has been made, we're unable to make any alterations. However, if you drop us an email at info@toysforapound.com we will be able to cancel your order so that you can re-purchase the desired items/quantities. Please note, we may not be able to help if the order has already been processed and dispatched.

The address is incorrect on my order, what do I do?
The address is incorrect on my order, what do I do?
Our system generates the shipping label based on the address provided by the customer at the time of checkout. If you've just placed your order and notice an error in the address, please contact us immediately at info@toysforapound.com with the correct shipping address. We will do our best to update it for you as soon as possible.
However, if your order has already been processed and dispatched to an incorrect address, regrettably, we are unable to intercept it. In such cases, you may need to arrange retrieval from the incorrect address or wait for it to be returned to us as the sender. Please note that we will not be held responsible for orders dispatched to an incorrect address after processing. We strongly advise double-checking your shipping details before finalising your order to ensure accurate delivery. If you'd require the order to be re-dispatched, you would need to pay the shipping charges again of your choosing.
