Due to the current circumstances around the global pandemic coronavirus, our sales and customer support teams are experiencing an extremely high volume of calls and emails. As a result, you may experience extended wait times when calling and delayed response times to emails.
If you are following up on a refund or a reimbursement claim, please note that refunds will be processed as a lump sum once we receive the funds back from all suppliers. Due to the sheer volume of transactions, there will be a delay on top of the usual 8-12 weeks wait time and refunds can take refunds up to 16-20 weeks at this stage.
For any further information with regards to travel bans and restrictions, please refer to these websites:

Thank you for your patience and stay safe.
