We have a number of suppliers all over Europe, all of which comply with Quality Mark CE Certification as a minimum. One of our main suppliers, TTS is an international company with huge commitment to quality and environmental sustainability.

Are all of the products in stock?

All of our products are held in stock except where identified with specific availability times. Due to the vast range of products on our Early Years, Toys and Schools sites (over 3,000 products) some products have special delivery times which are specified on the product page. E&OE, if a product is marked down in error EASE retain the right to cancel that order. 

How long does it normally take to get delivered?

We dispatch all orders the very same day if received before 12 noon, we will contact you if there is any delay in delivery. Delivery to your Ireland & UK address is normally within 3/4 working days of our dispatch.

Can I send my order to another address?

It’s very simple, there is an option when you are putting through your order to fill in a different delivery address and phone number but it is important that there will be somebody to take the order at that delivery address. The courier will always attempt a second delivery and also will make a phone call to the delivery phone number you have provided us. If there is likely to be nobody at the delivery address then consider giving us details of a work address of that family, or a neighbour to that family that is made aware of the delivery.

How secure is my credit or debit card information?

Your credit card details are totally secure. All credit and debit cards are processed securely through STRIPE, Shopify Pay and Paypal, internationally recognised and secure payment processing companies

We don’t get your payment details at all, when it comes to payment you will see the little green lock on the top address line and you will be linked directly into their payment system.

What if I want advice on a product?

Having been in the business for over 20 years, this is where we excel. Just give us a call on 056 77 68088, we are more happy to talk about products that we have or if you are looking for something you can’t see online maybe we can source it for you.

How much is the delivery for my order?

If you are a school, creche or local authority delivery is free. If you checkout as guest or private individual and you spend over  €60, we do not charge any delivery fee. If you purchase less than €60 we charge a standard fee of €4.99 per order. But we often have special offers where we offer free delivery so watch out for them.

How are orders delivered?

All items are delivered by  An Post or our local couriers for larger items.  We dispatch all orders the very same day if received before 12 noon. Delivery to your preferred address is within 3 working days of our dispatch.

All items including indoor/outdoor furniture are delivered flatpacked, requiring self assembly unless otherwise stated. 

Does somebody need to be in the delivery address to receive a delivery?

Yes, our courier cannot leave items without getting a signature. However, if you want something dropped at a neighbour or work address that’s no problem.

How long will delivery take?

We dispatch all orders the very same day if received before 12 noon. Delivery to your preferred address is within 3 working days of our dispatch. Remember if you give us a business address delivery will be faster. For remote homes in rural areas count 4 working days.

What happens if I miss a delivery?
