Deliveries
How do I track my order?
Tracking orders are quick and easy, you can navigate to your order within your account.
How long will it take to receive my order?
Any order over £59 will be shipped on our free 2-3 working day service If you opt for Next Business Day shipping the order needs to be placed before 3pm for delivery the next working day between 09:00 and 18:00. Any Next Business Day deliveries placed after 3pm will be fulfilled the next working day for delivery the day after. Any orders placed after 3pm on Friday until Sunday will be fulfilled on Monday for delivery on Tuesday. Deliveries to Northern Ireland, Channel Islands and the Scottish Highlands will be on a 3 day service.
Which couriers do we use?
We use DPD and Royal Mail, if we ever need to ship from one of our suppliers then the delivery may come from UPS, Parcelforce, TNT, Fedex or DHL.
Can I choose a specific day to receive my order?
This is something that we are working hard to bring to you - we recognise that having deliveries on preferred days not only makes it easier on you but it is also great for the environment. By having deliveries arranged on days that you are going to be in or consolidating your orders to arrive to you at the same time means that the courier won't need to come back multiple times due to missed deliveries or multiple deliveries.
Can I change my delivery address once the order has been placed?
Our systems are highly automated, where possible we will do our utmost to accommodate this. To ensure we maintain a high delivery success rate most of our orders are picked and prepped for shipment within 30 minutes.
I received an attempted delivery notification, what should I do?
Most couriers allow for deliveries to be redelivered or redirected to a local pick up point. Please follow the instructions provided by the courier on the calling card, email or text message.
Can my delivery be left in a safe place?
Due to the nature of products Gotraka sells, we do not offer delivery to a safe place. The courier will leave a missed delivery card for any failed delivery attempts for which you can organise a redelivery at a time that is convenient for your schedule.
What can I do if I received the wrong item?
Please contact the customer support team, they will quickly assist with having the incorrect item collected and the correct item delivered.
I still don’t have my order, what can I do?
You will find your order tracking information including the courier and tracking reference on your order page. If you are struggling to track your order please contact the customer support team via chat and we will assist.
What if my order is received damaged?
If your item arrives damaged please report this to us within 3 days of receipt along with images clearly showing the damage. We also recommend to mark the delivery as damaged/unchecked with the courier. It's incredibly important that we are notified within this time frame so that we can investigate with our courier partners effectively. Any claims made outside of the window are automatically rejected.
Is shopping online with Gotraka safe?
We have the highest level of security precautions in place to ensure that all purchases made on our website are safe including the use of a Secure Socket Layer (SSL) server. You can verify you are using a safe browsing environment by looking out for https and the padlock symbol before the web address.

Customers must not pay for or return items without a prepaid returns label from Gotraka - postage costs incurred by the customer will not be reimbursed. Any unauthorised returns are subject to rejection.

If you wish to return unwanted products, you must let us know that you want to return them within 14 calendar days from the day after delivery. The item must also be returned to us within 7 working days from approval of return and receipt of the return label.
