You can input the reference number here http://track.royalmail.com/portal/rm/track. Please remember that you can only view Recorded Delivery items once Royal Mail have attempted delivery. If you cannot find any information for your Recorded Delivery parcel, it is likely the parcel is still in transit.
If you have not received your merchandise within 5 business days of dispatch (UK only), please contact your local Royal Mail delivery depot. If they attempted delivery while you were out, they should leave a calling card but this sometimes does not happen. We recommend that you telephone your local Royal Mail depot (if you call in person, please take ID), quoting your reference number.

If you have not received your merchandise after 15 business days, (30 business days for international parcels), please contact us so we can initiate a claim with Royal Mail and process a refund to the value of your order.

Shipping Restrictions
Shipping restrictions may apply to certain EU and international destinations. For example, precious metals and stones, jewellery, furs or leather cannot be shipped to Italy. These restrictions are applied by international customs and excise authorities, not Catwalk Creative Vintage. Whilst every endeavour is taken to ensure your merchandise is posted to you, please bear in mind that restrictions could apply which are beyond our control. Please refer to your countries 'Customs and Excise' website to establish what items you cannot import. If you order from this website and we find we cannot ship to you, we will notify you as soon as possible and issue a refund (or part-refund, depending on what item(s) you have purchased).
Packaging
We take recycling issues very seriously whilst maintaining the best protection possible for your goods-in-transit. Most items are packed using acid-free tissue paper, bubble wrap (if necessary), and a waterproof or brown paper outer wrapping. The waterproof outer wrapping is tamper-free and recyclable. Sunglasses are tissue wrapped and posted out in a lightweight cardboard box. Heavier items are bubble wrapped and posted in single-wall boxes. In order to help the environment, we sometimes re-use boxes to mail our goods. Please recycle and/or re-use the packaging we provide. Any wasted packing materials at this end are fully recycled.
