Yes. When we dispatch your order for delivery you will receive a unique tracking number by email.

Is my package insured and do I need to sign for my order?
All your purchases are insured against theft and accidental damage whilst in transit from Great Stuff Hydroponics to your delivery address. Once your package has been delivered and signed for at your specified address, it is no longer covered. To ensure that your purchases arrive safely and in perfect condition, we require proof of delivery for all orders and are unable to authorise for packages to be delivered without a signature.
This doesn't affect any faulty items, please contact us within 7 days if any item is faulty.

Item says it's in stock but i have received an email to say it is out of stock?
As stock levels on our website are linked to our shop stock on rare occasions it may be the case that an item on our website states it is in stock, however if this has been sold in the shop before it has been updated on the website it may be the case that your order will be delayed slightly, we update our website stock as often as possible and keep good stock so this doesn't happen often but if it does we will let you know and offer you either a full refund or let you know how long your order will be delayed for, this is normally only a few days at most. It is always best if your order is urgent to contact us before placing an order to check the item/items you are ordering are all in stock.
I did not receive any instructions with my products. What should I do?
If you do not receive instructions with your items or would like more sending please contact us and we will sort this out either by posting or emailing them, but please check the product page for the item in question as there may be a downloadable file for the instructions required or check out the info and downloads section on our website.
I signed up to receive your newsletter but I don’t receive anything?
Due to the new GDPR regulations and also our opinion of mail shots we have decided to stop all newsletters going out via email, this may change in the future but we will only send these if you have opted in to them. Instead we have decided to utilise social media and our website to bring you the most up to date information on products and news so please follow us on Facebook, Twitter, Instagram and keep checking our website for any offers and news, who likes getting constant emails anyway?
