Frequently asked questions
Quick answers about ordering, delivery, returns, payment and your data. Everything here follows our published policies.
Orders
How do I place an order?
Add items to your basket, go to checkout, enter your delivery details and pay. You will receive an order confirmation email straight away. Your order is accepted when we send you a dispatch confirmation, as explained in our Terms of Service.
Do I need to create an account?
No. You can check out without an account. If you create one, you can follow your order history more easily.
Can I change or cancel my order?
Yes, as long as it has not been dispatched. Email info@miarus.com with your order number as soon as possible. If it has already been dispatched, it cannot be stopped, but you can return it under our Returns and Refund Policy.
Can I change my delivery address after ordering?
Contact us immediately. We can only change the address if your order has not been dispatched. See section 8 of our Shipping Policy.
What if an item is out of stock after I order?
We will email you as soon as possible. You can wait for it to be back in stock, accept a suitable alternative where available, or cancel for a full refund. You will not be charged for items we cannot supply.
Who can buy from Miarus?
You must be 18 or over and have a UK delivery address. Full details are in our Terms of Service.
Shipping and delivery
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to addresses in the United Kingdom: England, Scotland, Wales and Northern Ireland. We do not currently deliver outside the UK. Remote areas, such as the Scottish Highlands and Islands, may take longer. See our Shipping Policy.
How long will my order take?
Processing takes 1 to 3 working days, and shipping takes 6 to 8 working days, so your total estimated delivery time is 7 to 11 working days from the date you place your order. Working days are Monday to Friday, excluding UK public holidays.
What is the order cut-off time?
Orders placed after 6:00 PM (GMT) on a weekday, or at any time on a weekend or public holiday, are treated as placed on the next working day.
How much does delivery cost?
Delivery costs are calculated automatically and shown at checkout before you pay. There are no hidden delivery fees, and you are not charged extra if your order is sent in more than one parcel.
How can I track my order?
We email you a tracking number and link when your order is dispatched. Tracking can take up to 48 hours to show its first update. If it has not updated for 5 working days, email us with your order number.
Will I have to pay VAT, duties or import charges?
Prices include UK VAT where applicable, and VAT is collected at checkout. If any other customs or import charges could apply, we will tell you before you pay. If you are asked to pay a charge on delivery, contact us before paying. See section 11 of our Shipping Policy.
My order has not arrived. What should I do?
If it has not arrived within 11 working days, check your tracking, check with neighbours and a safe place near your door, then contact us with your order number. If the parcel is confirmed lost, we will send a replacement or refund you in full. If your order has not arrived within 30 days, you can cancel it for a refund.
What if my parcel arrives damaged or I get the wrong item?
Take clear photos of the item, packaging and shipping label, and contact us within 7 days of delivery. We will arrange a replacement or refund at no cost to you. See our Returns and Refund Policy.
Why did I receive my items in separate parcels?
Items in one order may be dispatched at different times or in separate parcels. You will receive a separate tracking number for each parcel and you will not pay extra for shipping.
Returns and refunds
Can I return an item if I change my mind?
Yes. You have 30 days from the day you receive your order, which is longer than the 14 days required by law. Items should be unused and in their original condition and packaging. See our Returns and Refund Policy.
How do I start a return?
Email info@miarus.com with your order number and the item you wish to return. We reply within 1 business day with confirmation and the return address. Please do not send anything back before you hear from us.
Who pays for return postage?
For a change-of-mind return, you pay the cost of sending the item back. If the item is faulty, damaged or incorrect, we pay for the return. We recommend a tracked and insured service, as you are responsible for the parcel until it reaches us.
When will I receive my refund?
We refund you within 14 days of receiving your return, or of you providing proof that you have sent it back, whichever is earlier. Refunds go to your original payment method. Your bank may need a few more business days to show it.
What if my item is faulty?
Within 30 days of delivery, you are entitled to a full refund. After 30 days and within 6 months, you can ask for a repair or replacement, and a refund if that is not possible. Contact us with your order number and photos of the fault.
Are there items that cannot be returned?
A few categories are excluded by law, such as personalised goods and sealed hygiene items that have been opened. Any exclusions are shown on the product page. See section 7 of our Returns and Refund Policy.
Can I exchange an item?
We do not offer direct exchanges. Return the original item for a refund and place a new order for the item you want.
Payment
Which payment methods do you accept?
We accept American Express, Apple Pay, Google Pay, Maestro, Mastercard, Shop Pay and Visa. The methods shown to you depend on your device and card issuer. See our Payment Policy.
When am I charged?
Payment is taken in full when you place your order. If an item is unavailable or an order is cancelled before dispatch, we release or refund the amount.
Is it safe to pay on Miarus?
Yes. Checkout uses an encrypted connection, and payments are handled by PCI DSS-compliant providers. We never see or store your full card number or security code. Your bank may ask you to confirm the payment, for example with a passcode or banking app.
Why was my payment declined?
Common reasons include incorrect card details, insufficient funds, an expired card, a failed bank verification or a spending limit. Check your details, contact your bank, or try another payment method.
Which currency do you charge in?
All prices are in pounds sterling (GBP). If your card is in another currency, your bank sets the exchange rate and may charge a fee, which we cannot refund.
I was charged twice. What should I do?
Email info@miarus.com with your order number, the date and a screenshot of the charges. If an error was made, we refund the difference to your original payment method. Please also note that pending authorisations usually drop off automatically.
