Collection Orders
Collection Orders
After you place your order for collection, you will receive an email letting you when your order is ready to collect. Orders are normally ready the following working day.
When you arrive at the store, we will ask for your order number, which you can find in your order confirmation email.
If you have any questions, do not hesitate to get in touch at giftshop@ed.ac.uk. Our address can be found at the bottom of our site.
The carrier bag charge
To comply with the Scottish Government requirements for retailers, we have introduced a bag charge policy for click and collect orders from the Visitor Centre and Gift Shop.
Although our carrier bags are made from fully recyclable and natural, undyed paper, we want to do more to support positive climate action. We are donating the money raised from the carrier bag charge to local organisations helping to combat the effects of climate change.
Where does the 10p go?
The money raised from the carrier bag charge will be donated to local organisations through the University’s Community Grants scheme.
