Horsey Christmas!

Christmas comes earlier every year. What we notice with Equestrian clothing is that people are looking for the heavier weight garments such as hoodies or long-sleeved tops, but if t-shirts (which you'd expect to be more summery) have the right design and price, they sell like hot cakes too. Like our Wild Thang tee for example!

It's been a very busy November. Roll on December! :-)

Royal Mail postal strike update

We've had confirmation that the industrial action scheduled for the week of 15th October is NOT now going ahead.

This means deliveries should be taking place daily this week. However we do advise there is still a backlog of some mail noticeable, so thanks for your patience, as it'll take some time for Royal Mail services to return to normal.

Royal Mail industrial action

Horsey Chick currently mail orders to customers via Royal Mail Special Delivery. We state delivery of orders within 3-5 working days (UK) and within 8 working days (overseas).

So far this year we have achieved a service level of 97% of orders mailed to customers within less than 3 working days. Far from resting on our laurels, we continue working to improve on this.

As you’ll be aware, there has been industrial action by Royal Mail employees recently which has led to a delay of a few days on delivery of our orders. We are in contact with Royal Mail about this and are advised of further strike action occurring during the week of 15th October.

We are assured that Special Delivery mail continues to be a priority throughout the period of disruption. Royal Mail have well developed contingency plans, and will do all they can to deliver Special Delivery items on the due day. Horsey Chick shall continue to dispatch in our usual timely fashion.

Thank you for bearing with us.
