All delivery charges are based on the total order value, combination of products and shipping destination. Please see here for more details. Deliveries outside the UK may be subject to import duties, taxes and delivery charges, which are levied once a shipment reaches your country. These may vary by destination and the V&A Shop is not responsible for paying these charges.

We aim to dispatch V&A Shop goods within two working days of your order being placed (Monday to Friday) and hope to achieve delivery to UK addresses within five days of dispatch. International deliveries can normally be expected to arrive within 14 days of dispatch. Custom prints are made and dispatched separately to other items from the V&A Shop. For more detailed information on dispatch and approximate shipping times for these items please see here.

Please note and take into account that delays may be caused by customs clearance procedures in the UK or your delivery country, which are out of our control.

Unfortunately we do not offer this online, however if you would like to send item(s) to different addresses please contact us.

We endeavour to ship all orders complete. If for any reason an item is not available, we will process and dispatch the remainder of your order. Items available for pre-order or temporarily out of stock will be dispatched separately with no additional charge made for postage and packaging. If you do not wish to receive any part shipments, in order to reduce customs fees that may apply in your country, please contact us as soon as you've made an order.

“Preorder” refers to an order placed for product(s) that are not yet available for general sale and dispatch, usually because the inventory is still on its way to the retailer. Preordering secures your item(s) in advance, avoiding any rush or competition with other parties when the item is generally released.

When placing a preorder, the same process and information exchange applies, and payment is made at the point of order as usual. There is then an extended period before your items are shipped out, in line with the remaining shipping time into the retailer.

An estimated dispatch date will be given at point of sale. Your order will be dispatched as soon as possible from that date, subject to availability. A dispatch email will be sent to you when your items are on the way, and deliveries normally arrive to UK addresses within five days of dispatch.

Please note; dispatch wait times can vary product to product, and are subject to change depending on the progress of individual batches of incoming inventory. In the event a significant change is foreseeable affecting your order, we will be in touch to update you on this.

When you place a preorder you will need to pay the full upfront price of your purchase. You may however, cancel your preorder for a full refund at any time before your order has been dispatched. After dispatch, our standard returns policy applies; see Delivery and returns.

If you have any issues with your order, please contact us immediately. Please note that Memberships, tickets for exhibitions and bookings for events and courses are non-refundable or transferable.

We hope that you are happy with your purchase, however if you are not, most items are eligible for a full refund when returned within 28 days of receipt. Please return your items to our online returns department in their original condition and packaging and we will be happy to assist you. Some exceptions do apply. You can read our full returns policy here.

As part of the V&A’s commitment to the environment, the V&A shop always aims to source merchandise from reputable and responsible suppliers, favouring those that are ethically and ecologically minded. The V&A shop is proudly championing local industry by working with UK designers and manufacturers where possible, as well as supporting artisans and social enterprises from all over the world. In an effort to reduce waste, your online order will be sent using reused and recyclable materials wherever possible. We also aim to improve our shops’ environmental impact by working with our suppliers to switch to more sustainable materials, such as organic cotton or FSC approved paper, and by reviewing packaging solutions wherever possible. This is a gradual process that we have placed at the very heart of everything we do.

Our paper padded bags are made from 100% recycled paper and can be recycled with mixed paper. Larger orders will be delivered in a re-used or recycled box as part of the V&A’s commitment to the environment, focusing on reducing its paper and cardboard consumption. The ‘green chips’ used in our boxes are 100% biodegradable and fully compostable eco-fill, this can be placed in your household recycling.

Frames are packaged in corrugated cardboard packaging, which as well as having an element of recycled material in it, is 100% recyclable. Unframed prints are shipped in postal tubes, which are manufactured from spiral wound paper and is fully recyclable. The end caps are made from Low Density Polyethylene (LDPE) which can also be recycled by many local authority recycling schemes.

As a responsible retailer, the V&A Shop is committed to helping the Government meet its targets under new EU legislation known as The Electrical and Electronic Equipment (WEEE) Directive which is now in force. This is designed to help local authorities, businesses and households make better use of old electrical goods by recycling as much as possible and preventing items which may contain hazardous substances going to landfill. If you purchased a new battery powered product from our website and want us to dispose of a similar old product for you, please return the old item in person or by post within 28 days of your purchase to the following address.
