Terms and Conditions

Shapeshifter Nutrition – Terms & Conditions

At Shapeshifter Nutrition, we are committed to providing premium products and exceptional customer service.

These Terms & Conditions outline your rights and responsibilities when shopping with us. By placing an order, you agree to the terms outlined below.

Orders & Special Offers

🏷️ Special Offers & Coupons

  • ✅ All promotions are while stocks last.

  • 🚫 Multiple discounts cannot be combined.

  • ❌ Coupons cannot be used with:

    • Sale items / Clearance

    • Bundle deals / “Buy in Bulk” offers

    • “Brand of the Month” promos

    • Free gift promotions

    • Other coupons

  • ⚠️ Whey Protein Powders (including Optimum Nutrition Gold Standard Whey) are excluded from discounts unless specifically stated.

💳 Payment Systems

  • Some offers may not work with certain payment providers (e.g., Revolut).

  • If discounts fail, we recommend using Opayo or Klarna for checkout.

📦 Right to Cancel

  • The company reserves the right to cancel any order up until delivery.

Shipping & Delivery

✅ Recommended Method – Royal Mail Signed For

  • Royal Mail Signed For provides added security and peace of mind

  • Full tracking and delivery notifications to monitor your parcel every step of the way

  • Signature required on delivery – parcels will not be left unattended

  • Ideal for important or valuable items

  • Reliable, secure, and easy to track – delivery is handled with care

📦 Alternative Delivery Option – Royal Mail Safeplace (Non–Signed For)

When you select Free Delivery or Flat Rate, your order will be sent using Royal Mail Safeplace (Non–Signed For) instead of Royal Mail Signed For.

⚠️ PLEASE READ CAREFULLY – IMPORTANT NOTICES

  • Not a Signed For Service – Your parcel will not require a signature on delivery.

  • Left Without Consent – Royal Mail may leave your parcel in a designated Safeplace (e.g., porch, shed, doorstep) at their discretion, even if you have not provided prior instructions.

  • Delivery Considered Complete – Once Royal Mail provides GPS and/or photographic proof, the delivery is officially classed as completed.

  • No Liability After Confirmation – From that point forward, we cannot accept responsibility for any loss, theft, or damage.

👉 Managing Your Delivery
You may update your delivery preferences directly with Royal Mail (using your tracking number). Options may include:

  • Selecting a preferred delivery day

  • Providing your own Safeplace location

⚠️ IMPORTANT TO NOTE

  • If you do not update your delivery preferences, Royal Mail may still leave your parcel in a Safeplace of their choice.

  • By selecting Free Delivery or Flat Rate, you acknowledge and accept that:

    • This is a non–Signed For delivery service

    • Royal Mail has discretion over Safeplace deliveries

    • Delivery is deemed complete once confirmed by Royal Mail

🏢 Delivery to Business / Shared Addresses

  • ⚠️ When choosing delivery to a business address, communal building, or shared space, you are responsible for the package once it is delivered to the specified location.

  • 📦 Shared or business premises can be accessed by multiple individuals, which increases the risk of loss or theft.

  • ✅ Once tracking confirms delivery, the order is considered complete and fulfilled. We cannot be held responsible for items lost or stolen after confirmed delivery.

  • 🚫 Please note that some locations may not be accessible to Royal Mail or other couriers due to safety regulations or restricted access. In these cases, delivery may be delayed or redirected to a nearby collection point.

⏳ Delays in Transit

  • Delivery times are not guaranteed.

  • No refunds/replacements for delays caused by strikes, customs, or courier issues.

  • A parcel is only considered “lost” after 10 days → at that point a replacement or refund will be arranged.

Lost Parcel Policy & Delivery Terms

🔍 Unable to Track Your Parcel? – Lost Parcel Policy

A Royal Mail parcel is considered lost if it has not been delivered within 10 working days after its expected delivery date.

How to proceed:

  1. Raise a Complaint – Submit a claim via the Royal Mail Claims Centre and obtain a reference number.

  2. Share with Us – Email the courier’s reference number and all related correspondence to: info@shapeshifternutrition.co.uk

  3. Investigation & Resolution – Once Royal Mail completes their investigation and the loss claim is approved, we will either:

    • Send a replacement order, or

    • Issue a reimbursement.

⏳ Processing time – Please allow up to 15 working days for this process to be completed.

⚠️ Important – Proof of Delivery

If Royal Mail provides proof of delivery (e.g., GPS coordinates, photographic evidence at your address), your order will be deemed delivered successfully. In such cases, no refund or replacement will be issued.

International Orders & Customs

  • ⚠️ Check local laws: Customers outside the UK must ensure that all ingredients are legal in their country before purchasing.

  • 📦 Customs responsibility: We are not responsible for parcels held, destroyed, or delayed by customs, nor for any additional customs fees.

Returns & Refund Policy
Eligibility for Returns

📦 Eligibility for Returns

  • 14 days from delivery for most unopened & unused products.

  • Items must be:

    • In original packaging

    • Sealed & resellable

    • With proof of purchase

⚠️ Health & Safety: Opened consumable products cannot be returned (unless damaged upon arrival).

🚫 Non-Returnable Items

We cannot accept returns on:

  • Opened or partially used consumables

  • Clearance / promotional items

  • Products returned due to taste or flavour

    • 👉 Why? Flavour is subjective and varies by individual preference. For hygiene & safety, opened consumables cannot be resold or reused.

🛠 Damaged or Incorrect Products

If your order arrives damaged or wrong, please report within 7 days of delivery.

To help us process:

  • Send clear photos of the product, packaging, and shipping label.

We will arrange a free return and either:
✅ Replace your item (if in stock), or

📧 How to Initiate a Return

💸 Return Shipping Costs

  • Use a tracked service; we are not responsible for lost return parcels.

💰 Refunds
