If the products ordered are in-stock, we make every attempt to ship your package within 10 working days of receiving your order and often within 48hrs of receiving your order. However, even though our online store remains open, we may not be open for business in our physical offices.
We do not ship on Fridays, Saturdays, Sundays or on public and company holidays. This is because if there is any hold-up or problem with the courier during transit of your package, we want to be able to intervene on your behalf and deal with any delay/problem.
If the products that you ordered are not in-stock and available immediately, we will advise you of this and give you an idea of how quickly we hope to be able to supply you with the goods that you want, so that you can decide whether to wait for the goods or to cancel the order.
If you want to change an order you have already placed in the online shop, please tell us as quickly as possible, by email, to: sales@BALANCEinternational.com We will do our best to make the change you request, provided the item has not already been booked for collection
