We accept major debit/credit cards, PayPal, Apple Pay, Google Pay, and Klarna (Buy Now, Pay Later; subject to approval). Our PCI-compliant gateway uses 256-bit SSL.
Is your checkout safe and private?

Can I check out as a guest?
Yes, guest checkout keeps things quick and discreet. Creating an account gives you order history, faster reorders and exclusive offers.
Can I change or cancel my order?
If your order hasn’t been dispatched, contact us ASAP with your order number and we’ll try to amend or cancel it.
Do you offer discreet shipping? Always Discreet
Always. Orders arrive in plain, unbranded packaging with no reference to “The Loving Company” or product names on the parcel. Discreet packaging means that both the outer box and all internal wrapping are completely plain with no logos, imagery, or identifying marks. There is a discrete returns address in small print on the postage label to a 3rd party company who process our returns. All shipments are securely sealed and tracked for peace of mind, and your billing details appear under a neutral trading name to ensure total privacy.
How long does delivery take in the UK?
Most UK orders arrive in 1–2 working days via our delivery partners DHL or Royal Mail. During peak periods (Bank Holidays, Black Friday, Christmas, Valentine’s Day) please allow a little extra time.
You’ll receive a tracking number by email as soon as your order ships.
Is there free delivery?
Yes, free UK delivery on orders over £50. Delivery fees for smaller orders are shown at checkout. For next-day and service-point options, see checkout.
My parcel is delayed or marked delivered but not received, what now?
First, check tracking, safe places and neighbours. If it’s still missing, contact us with your order number, we’ll open a courier investigation and replace or refund where appropriate.
How do I track my parcel?
After dispatch, your email includes a courier tracking number so you can follow your parcel in real time and manage delivery preferences (safe place, neighbour, service point).
What will appear on my bank statement?
Your statement shows TLCUK LTD, not “The Loving Company”. We keep billing descriptors and packaging discreet.
Do you offer discount codes or student discounts?
We run seasonal and newsletter-exclusive codes, plus occasional partner/student offers. Join our newsletter or check the site banner for current promo codes.
Do you sell gift cards or offer gifting options?
Yes, digital gift vouchers are available and perfect for discreet gifting. We don’t include product names on outer packaging, and invoices aren’t included inside the parcel.
The toy seems noisy or not as described, what should I do?
Vibration and noise vary by model and setting. Try fully charging, using water-based lube, and checking the instructions. If it’s faulty or not as described, contact us for a quick resolution.
How do I clean and care for my products?
Use warm water and a mild, fragrance-free soap or a dedicated toy cleaner. Dry fully before storage. For silicone toys, use water-based lubricant only.
- Charging: Follow the instructions; avoid overcharging.
- Storage: Keep items separated in a cool, dry place.
