FAQ

Unfortunately we are unable to specify an exact delivery time. As a useful guide however, all UK orders are sent using either DPD or Royal Mail. 95% of Royal Mail orders are delivered before 1.00pm. DPD will deliver up until 6.00pm. If you supplied us with your phone number and email in your delivery information, we will add this to your DPD delivery information and they will contact you with a 1 hour delivery window. They will also allow you to make changes to the delivery if required. We use Royal Mail for all small pharmacy items and antimalarial orders.

We aim to have all orders despatched within 24 hours of payment being received (excluding weekends and public holidays).

• Standard UK Delivery will take between 3 – 5 working days.
• Free UK Delivery (i.e. over £75.00) will also take between 3 – 5 working days.
• Express UK Delivery take 1 – 2 working days.

These orders will only be dispatched same day if they are placed before 12.00pm for a next day delivery. If you’re in a hurry, it’s best to Contact Us to ensure a next day delivery of an order.

Firstly, check that a “while you were out” card hasn’t been slipped under your door. This card will have further details on how to get your order. Also check with other people in your house/office/work place. Often someone has signed for it and forgotten to tell you! If it’s still not there, please Contact Us with your order reference and details. All orders have tracking numbers so we can trace where it is.

If your parcel is returned to us, we will get in touch with you straight away. If you supplied us with the complete and correct delivery address, we will resend the parcel free of charge via the standard delivery method only. We are happy to arrange the resending of your parcel by an express postal service, but please be aware that the additional costs are to be covered by the customer. If the Delivery Address details you provided are incorrect or incomplete in any way, we may have to bill you for an additional delivery charge. Nomad does not take responsibility for parcels that are incorrectly or insufficiently addressed, but we will do whatever we can to recover the parcel on your behalf.

Yes. All of our orders are tracked and need your signature for proof of delivery. It protects you from the parcel going “missing”. Deliveries made by DPD can be signed for by anyone. Provide us with details of trusted neighbours and the courier will ask for their signature should you be out at the time of delivery. Additionally, if you provide us with information of any safe places parcels can be left, DPD couriers will leave the parcel without requiring a signature. Your tracking information will be updated with a photograph of the parcel at time of delivery.

If your order is sent by Royal Mail, a card will be left to notify you that a delivery attempt was made and how to proceed with redelivery or collection of your parcel from your local sorting office.

If your order is sent by DPD, and providing you have included your mobile number/email with your delivery information, you will be notified of a one hour delivery window to make it easier for you to be home at the time time of delivery. You will also have options to easily request different delivery times, delivery to a collection location or to advise DPD of suitable neighbours to leave your parcel with or a safe place where it can be left. If you have not provided contact information for DPD and you are not in at the time of delivery, they will leave a card to advise you on who they have left your parcel with or how to arrange redelivery.

We take the utmost care to ensure that you order arrives in perfect condition but occasionally incidents can occur in-transit. If your order arrives damaged, please Contact Us for further instructions. Please do not discard any of the merchandise or packaging materials, as we may need these items for further investigation. You must notify us immediately if this occurs.

All orders are carefully packed and checked prior to dispatch, however if you do receive an incorrect item or if items are missing please Contact Us quoting the item(s) received or missing, the item(s) ordered and your order reference number. If an item is missing from your order please check your enclosed invoice to ensure that it has been ordered and paid. The invoice will also indicate if the items are coming in a separate delivery. If so, please allow another day or two for the other package(s) to arrive.

Unfortunately for security reasons, we cannot despatch orders outside the UK (international) to an address other than the Card Holder’s registered address. No deliveries will be made to PO BOX addresses. A signature will always be required upon receipt from our courier DPD.

Rest assured that we will not sell or give your contact details to marketing companies for spamming! We may disclose information about you to business partners who help us provide our services, such as credit card payment processing companies and delivery services for obvious reasons (although neither of these will contact you about their services). When ordering online, you may choose to set up a customer account with us. You can access and change the information we hold about you in your account at any time. You are in control of your information.

Lots of us are concerned about the security of information we transmit over the Internet. Our order form uses SSL encryption to ensure secure transactions with browsers like Internet Explorer, Chrome, Firefox, Safari etc.. Whenever we ask to provide any kind of personal information, you’ll see a lock symbol before the page URL – this tells you that you are now in a ‘secure session’ with the Nomad Travel web server. All information you enter into this form is encrypted from the time you enter it until it arrives at the Nomad Travel warehouse. No third party has access to this information.

The Card Verification Code (or CVC) is a number that appears on your credit card, and we request it so that we can verify that the person placing the order has direct access to the credit card being used. For Visa and Mastercard, this is the last 3 numbers as they appear on the signature panel on the back of the card. For American Express, it is the 4 digit number that appears in the top right corner on the front of the card. A Successful CV2 result indicates that the person ordering is in possession of the card at the time of the transaction. No transaction will be accepted without a positive CV2 match.

AVS – Address Verification Service The card holders billing address is checked with the card issuer. A successful AVS result shows that the person ordering knows the cardholders address and is less likely to be using a stolen card.

Verified by Visa (VbV) and MasterCard SecureCode (MSC) which use 3D Secure technology are the latest fraud prevention initiatives launched by the card schemes as a more secure method for authenticating the cardholder at the time of the transaction. 3D Secure is becoming an Industry Standard. In a 3D secure transaction you would register for VbV or MSC with your issuing bank. If you do not register before ordering online, the first time you order from a merchant who supports VbV or MSC you will be asked to register your card before continuing with the transaction. At the checkout stage, you would select to pay by Visa, Visa Delta, and Visa Debit or by MasterCard or Maestro and a pop-up box will appear from their issuing bank to request that they enter their PIN number. The bank will verify the PIN number and the transaction will continue as normal. This is all completed on a Secure Server and at no time will Nomad Travel see this information. 3D secure is FREE to set-up.

VPDQ provides us with fraud indicators to show high risk, medium risk and low risk transactions. Detailed reports will show why a transaction has been given a particular rating so that we can decide whether or not we wish to accept the payment and proceed with the sale. Each transaction is screened by The 3rd Man and the results are displayed alongside the AVS, CV2 and Verified by Visa and MasterCard SecureCode results. These results are only available to Nomad Travel’s Accounts Department Employees and would never be passed onto any third party. For customer security Nomad Travel cannot see your card number during payment and do not hold any card details on file.

If you have already registered your card with your bank you can enter your ‘Internet Pin Code’ when asked to at checkout on our or other sellers websites. Please note the same number will do you for all your internet purchases the same as your normal chip and pin works for all high street shops. You do NOT need to create a new 3d secure code if you already have one.

If you do NOT have 3D Secure on you card at checkout you may be asked to enter a new 3d secure code or you may be taken to your banks secure website to create one- please note the following before doing this:

• DONT make this pin the same as your regular chip and pin code
• ALWAYS check you are on your card issuers website before entering any account details
• ALWAYS check the banks website starts https:// and NOT http:// to show you are on a secure page

More and more online companies are insisting on customers having 3d secure set up for their card as it greatly reduces the risk of fraudulent transactions as only the card holder should know their 3d secure/internet pin number. If you are in any doubt please Contact Us or you can contact your bank direct to arrange set up of this 3d secure pin code.
