How can we help?

Clear answers, helpful links, and real support from our small Scottish tea team.

Orders & Delivery

Ordering, delivery, Royal Mail tracking, order changes, returned parcels and UK delivery support.

How do I place an order with Wee Tea Company?

Ordering is quick, secure and available 24 hours a day, 7 days a week. Retail customers can browse our full range of teas, gifts and goodies, add favourites to basket, checkout securely, save details for future orders and manage purchases through an online account. Wholesale customers should log in to their approved Wholesale Account to access trade pricing, wholesale ranges, repeat ordering and account management. All orders must be placed securely online through the Wee Tea Company website.

Can I order by text message, voicemail or email?

No. For customer safety, payment security, accurate order details and better data handling, we no longer accept orders or payments by text message, voicemail or email. We can help with questions by email, but the order itself must be placed securely online through your account.

Can I edit or cancel my order after placing it?

We will always try to help where we can, but there is only a short window for changes. Once confirmed, orders quickly enter our picking and packing system. We may still be able to amend items, update delivery details or cancel before dispatch, but once your order has been processed for shipping, changes are no longer possible. Email us as soon as possible with your full name, order number and what you would like to change or cancel.

What happens once my order has shipped?

Once your order has been dispatched, it cannot be amended or cancelled. You will need to wait for delivery and then follow our returns process if the goods are eligible. You should receive dispatch information and tracking details by email once your parcel leaves us.

Where do you deliver and how much does delivery cost?

We currently deliver within the UK. UK orders up to and including £35 are £2.95 by Royal Mail Tracked 48. UK orders over £35 qualify for free delivery. Scottish Highlands, Scottish Islands and other UK Islands are covered by our UK delivery information unless shown otherwise at checkout. Northern Ireland delivery is £3.95. International shipping is currently paused.

How fast is delivery?

We dispatch orders from Wee Tea HQ in Dunfermline, Fife, primarily using Royal Mail Tracked 48. Royal Mail Tracked 48 usually aims to deliver within 2 working days after dispatch, but delivery times are estimates only and not guaranteed. Remote locations, seasonal demand, adverse weather and courier delays can all add time.

How do I track my order?

When your order is dispatched, we will send Royal Mail tracking details to your email. You can track your parcel using your unique tracking number through Royal Mail. Tracking may only activate once Royal Mail has scanned the parcel into its network. We can track your parcel too, so get in touch if you wish further assistance.

What should I check before placing my order?

Please ensure your full delivery address, postcode, email address and any safe place instructions are correct before placing your order. We cannot accept responsibility for failed deliveries caused by incorrect or incomplete information. Delivery is considered complete once the parcel has been left at the address or safe place provided, unless an issue is caused by our negligence.

What happens if my parcel is delayed, lost, damaged or returned?

If something goes wrong in transit, we will raise an investigation or claim with the courier and keep you updated by email. If a parcel is returned because the address is incorrect or incomplete, delivery attempts fail, it is not collected from a pickup point or locker, or delivery instructions cannot be followed, we will contact you to confirm details and arrange redelivery where possible. Additional postage may be required. If we cannot reach you within 2 weeks, we may refund the order minus original shipping and a £5 administration fee.

Can I send tea as a gift?

Yes. You can send tea directly to someone else by entering their delivery address at checkout. Please check all details carefully before placing the order. If you need help before ordering, email us and we will be happy to guide you.

Returns & Refunds

Change-of-mind returns, faulty products, refunds, safety investigations and customer rights.

Can I return a product if I change my mind?

Yes. Unopened, non-faulty food products may be returned within 30 days of receiving your order, provided they are unused, in their original packaging and in perfect resale condition. For non-faulty returns, return postage or courier costs are the customer responsibility.

Where should I send returns?

Please return eligible items to: Customer Services, Wee Tea Company, 13 Dickson Street, Elgin Industrial Estate, Dunfermline, KY12 7SN. Include your full name, order number, contact details and reason for return inside the parcel so we can identify and process it quickly. We recommend using a tracked service.

How long do refunds take?

Once your return is received and inspected, our Retail Director will review and approve the return. Approved refunds will be sent to your original payment method within 3-4 working days, and often sooner where possible. Banks and payment providers may take additional time to show funds.

What should I do if a product is faulty, damaged, unsafe or not up to standard?

Please email us immediately and mark your subject line URGENT – FAULTY RETURN. Include your full name, order number, product name, Best Before date, batch code if available, a description of the issue and photos if possible.

What happens during a faulty product investigation?

Your safety is our number one priority. Where necessary, we may pause sales of the product, investigate the batch, remove stock from sale, contact affected customers and carry out a precautionary recall if required. Product investigations may take up to 7 working days, and we will keep you updated by email.

Where should faulty products be returned?

Please return faulty products to: Customer Services (FAULTY RETURN), Wee Tea Company, Unit 13 Dickson Street, Elgin Industrial Estate, Dunfermline, KY12 7SN. Please include your name and order details so we can process your refund quickly.

Who handles food health and safety enquiries?

For Food Health & Safety enquiries, please contact Jamie, Company Director, via info@weeteacompany.com.

Do returns affect my statutory rights?

No. Your statutory rights are not affected. If goods are faulty, incorrect or not as described, you may be entitled to a refund, replacement or other remedy under UK consumer law.

Technical Support

Website issues, checkout problems, account access and technical support.

What should I do if the website is not working properly?

If something is not working quite as it should, please email us with as much detail as possible. Include your name, a clear description of the issue, screenshots if available, and the page or step where the problem occurred. Please mark your email FAO Technical Support.

Who reviews technical issues?

Your query will be reviewed by our team, including Derek Walker where needed, to help diagnose and resolve the issue as quickly as possible.

How quickly are technical issues resolved?

Most technical issues are resolved within 1-2 working days, depending on complexity. Website issues are rare, but like any website, the occasional glitch can happen. We appreciate your patience while we fix things behind the scenes.

Can you help with account, login, password or checkout problems?

Yes. Use the password reset option through your account dashboard if you cannot access your account. If you are still stuck, or if checkout or payment is not working, email us with the email address linked to your account, what you were trying to do, and any screenshots. Please never send passwords or full payment details by email.

Contact Us

How to contact Wee Tea Company and what to include so we can help quickly.

What is the best way to contact Wee Tea Company?

Email is the best way to reach us. As a small independent brand with a flexible way of working, email helps us direct your enquiry to the right person and respond as efficiently as possible. For general enquiries, email info@weeteacompany.com.

What should I include in my email?

Please include your name, order number if relevant, contact details and a clear summary of your enquiry. The more detail you provide, the quicker we can help.

How quickly will you reply?

We aim to reply to all Customer Service emails within 1-2 working days. Customer Service hours are Monday to Friday, 09:00-16:00.

What should I do if my enquiry is urgent?

Email info@weeteacompany.com and mark your subject line URGENT. Please include your contact name, telephone number, order number if relevant and a short summary of the issue so we can route it correctly.

What if I have not received a reply within 48 hours?

Please check your junk or spam folder. There may be a temporary technical delay, or your email may not have reached us successfully. If needed, please email us again and we will be happy to help.

Why do you prefer email instead of phone support?

We are a small modern business with a flexible team. We may be in meetings, out on business, blending tea, packing orders or working behind the scenes. Email gives us a clear record, helps us route enquiries properly and ensures every message is read by a real person.

The Big Tea Club Monthly Subscription

The latest information about the discontinued monthly tea subscription.

Is The Big Tea Club Monthly Subscription still available?

The Big Tea Club Monthly Subscription ended on 30th September 2026. With so many teas in the Big Tea Shop, you can order any time, any day you choose.

International Shipping

Why international delivery is paused, what went wrong, and how to hear about future changes.

Do you currently offer international shipping?

No. We do not offer international shipping at this time. We currently only ship within the UK, which is why customers outside the UK may see “No Shipping Options” at checkout.

Why has Wee Tea Company paused international shipping?

We have grown quickly and our reputation for quality tea, coffee and hot chocolate has reached customers around the world. However, international delivery trials using major couriers have caused repeated issues. Over the last 2 years, we have experienced problems with international couriers including FedEx, Royal Mail International, Evri and Parcelforce International. The volume and seriousness of these issues made international courier shipping unsuitable for us at present.

What exactly went wrong with international orders?

Problems included detailed customs paperwork being requested for every fresh tea ingredient in each blend, parcels being sent to wrong addresses, damaged, wet or opened boxes, lost parcels that were never found, entire orders being returned by customs, and compensation claims being rejected by couriers.

What was the conclusion?

As a small tea team, we decided that the time, cost and customer experience risks involved meant it is not currently feasible to ship fresh tea internationally by postal courier in this way. Pausing direct international shipping helps protect product quality, customer experience and reliable delivery standards.

Will international shipping return in the future?

Yes, we absolutely intend to find better long-term solutions. We are exploring improved logistics partners, international stockist partnerships, regional fulfilment options and customs-friendly solutions.

How will I know when international shipping is available again?

We will share any major changes through website updates, Facebook, Instagram, X/Twitter and our email newsletter.

Product Information

Tea sourcing, blending, dietary information, shelf life, flavourings and tea availability.

Where does your tea come from and where is it blended?

We source teas from trusted growers and established tea-producing regions known for quality, consistency and character. Each ingredient is chosen for flavour, aroma, strength and how well it performs in a blend. While our teas begin their journey around the world, they are carefully brought together and blended at Wee Tea HQ in Dunfermline, Scotland.

Are your teas and tea bags plastic-free?

Yes. There is no plastic in our teas or tisane blends, not in the ingredients, not in the tea bags and not in the flavouring systems we use. We do not use nylon, polypropylene or plastic mesh pyramid bags.

Do you offer free samples?

We do not currently offer a standard free sample service for retail customers. If there is a particular tea or tisane you are interested in trying, you are welcome to email us. If stock is available, we may be able to include a sample with your next order, but we do not send samples on their own due to postage and operational costs.

Are your teas vegan, gluten free or caffeine free?

Everything in our current tea range is plant-based and suitable for vegans. All Wee Tea Company teas and tisanes are gluten free and do not use wheat, barley, rye or gluten-containing grains as ingredients. Herbal teas and tisanes are naturally caffeine-free because they do not contain leaves from the tea plant. Traditional teas such as Breakfast Tea, Earl Grey, Green Tea and White Tea naturally contain caffeine.

What is the shelf life of your tea and how should I store it?

As a general guide, our teas typically have a shelf life of around 2 years from production. Every product includes a Best Before date and batch code. Store tea in a cool, dry place, keep packaging tightly sealed, avoid direct sunlight and moisture, and keep away from strong odours.

Are your teas organic or Fairtrade?

We are not currently a certified organic or Fairtrade brand. As a small independent tea company with a wide range of ingredients, certification across every component is complex and often not practical. However, we focus strongly on responsible sourcing, supplier relationships, food safety standards, ethical labour practices, responsible farming and transparency in supply chains.

Can I drink tea while pregnant?

In most cases, tea can be enjoyed during pregnancy, but you should be mindful of caffeine intake and certain herbal ingredients. UK guidance generally recommends keeping total caffeine intake to no more than 200mg per day during pregnancy. Herbal blends can be complex, so please check ingredients carefully and speak to your midwife, GP or healthcare provider before trying new herbal teas.

Allergens & Safety

Allergen information, cross-contamination, food safety, recalls and traceability.

Where can I find allergen information?

Allergen information is available on individual product pages, product packaging labels and ingredient declarations provided by suppliers. Because recipes and sourcing can occasionally change, customers with allergies or dietary concerns should always read product labels carefully and contact us before purchase if unsure.

What does "may contain" mean?

Some products may include precautionary allergen statements such as “may contain nuts” or “produced in a facility that handles…”. These statements reflect shared production environments and supplier supply chains where cross-contamination risk may exist.

How do you manage allergen safety?

We work closely with suppliers and production partners to review ingredient specifications, monitor allergen controls, update labelling where necessary, investigate potential risks immediately and comply fully with UK food safety standards.

What is a product recall?

A product recall is a formal process used to remove unsafe or non-compliant food products from sale and consumption to protect public health. Recalls are extremely rare, but we maintain traceability systems and procedures so we can act quickly if needed.

Who should I contact about allergens, safety or recall concerns?

Email info@weeteacompany.com with the product name, batch code if available, Best Before date if available, order details if relevant and your specific question. If there is any doubt, we would always rather you ask.

Wholesale

Trade accounts, wholesale ordering, approval and business support.

We want to genuinely help your business grow, so please feel free to get in touch for ideas, advice or anything tea-related. We are always here to help. We hope to welcome you aboard.
