Section 1: General Questions
What is Last Minute Buddy all about?
We connect you with trusted retailers across the UK who offer same-day or next-day delivery. Our goal is to help you find last-minute gifts, essentials, or treats quickly and conveniently.
Do you sell products directly?
Nope! Think of us as your personal last-minute directory, showcasing a wide range of products and brands. When you click a link, you’ll be redirected to the retailer’s official website to complete your purchase securely
How do I know which retailers offer next-day delivery?
Each brand card or page via Categories on our site will clearly display delivery options. We feature only those retailers who offer fast shipping, with many providing same-day or next-day delivery.
Section 2: Ordering & Delivery
Can I place an order directly through this site?
Not directly. All orders are placed on the retailer’s website once you click through from our links or listings.
What are the cut-off times for next-day delivery?
Cut-off times will vary by retailer (usually between 6pm–10pm). We recommend checking the delivery details listed on each brand page or during checkout on the retailer’s site.
Do all products qualify for next-day delivery?
Not always. Some items (like large furniture or personalised goods) may take longer. Always check the delivery info with the retailer before placing your order. With that being said, we predominantly display the latest deals where next-day delivery is available.
Section 3: Payments & Returns
How do I pay for my order?
Payments are made directly on the retailer’s website. We do not handle payments on our platform.
What if I need to return an item?
Returns and refunds are managed by the retailer you purchased from. Check their returns policy for details.
