Placing and paying for an order
How do I place an order?
If you are browsing around the site, use the navigation bar and the jumbo menus to explore what we have on our website. Alternatively, if you have a particular item in mind, use the search option at the top of the page. If you find something you like and would like to buy it, click on buy me, and this will add to your basket in the top right-hand corner. When you are ready to pay for your purchase, click either on “Your basket” to review what you have bought or “Checkout” to start the payment process.
Do I need to set up an account to place an order?
Setting up an account with us, where we will keep hold of your details safely and securely, will mean it is quicker and easier to shop with us next time. Alternatively, you are also welcome to buy from jellycat.com as a guest.
What happens if I set up an account and then forget the password?
Click on the “Account” icon and pop your email address into the field requested, then click on the “Forgot your password” message. We’ll then send you a new password to access your account.
Why is neither the email address nor password working to sign in?
Your account may have been set up with a different email address, do check any alternatives that you may have used and click through on the “Forgot your password” message.
How do I know which size to buy from the website?
All our toys have a length indicated on the website. This length is measured from the top of an animal’s head to the bottom of their heel. This means, for example, the perky ears of a bunny are not included in the measurement. If the item is an object like a soother or a book, for example, the longest measurement is referred to.
How can I pay for my order?
There are many different ways to pay. We accept Visa, MasterCard, Delta, Maestro, UK Electron, American Express, and PayPal.
Is it safe to use my credit card to pay?
Without spoiling any of the fun, we take security very seriously.
