Can I place my order by phone?

Certainly. Please call us during business hours, or request a call by text and we will call you to take your order.

Where does the name uki come from?

Ukiuki loosely translates from Japanese as a happy, floating feeling. 

At ukigoods we hope to inspire these joyful moments through encounters with beautiful objects. Drawn to originality, we are excited to introduce you to designers who create from a place of optimism. They understand the power of good design to uplift the spirit in even simple everyday actions, with surprising innovations, delightful details, and outstanding quality craftsmanship.

If you need help to do this, or have lost your tracking number, simply contact us and we’d be happy to investigate for you.

What about packaging?

Uki's packaging materials are reused and recycled where possible. The plastics and papers we use to keep your orders safe in transit are usually reused from our Japanese suppliers. It's only a small change but we want to support shoppers and retailers in saving clean packaging from landfill. 

My order arrived damaged, what should I do?

All orders are packed and shipped with great care, but where part of your order arrives damaged, please contact us within 14 days of receipt of the order to organise replacement, exchange or refund. 

Where an item arrives damaged please do not discard it but retain the item for return - we may require it to follow up with the carrier in question. Your confidence and satisfaction, as well as the consistent quality of our stock, is of utmost importance to everyone at ukigoods, and we will go to great lengths to ensure both.

Something is missing from my order, what should I do?

If an item you have ordered and paid for has not arrived within the estimated delivery window (see above), or if something is missing that you thought would be included in your order, don’t panic! Please contact us as soon as possible so we can track down any packages missing in transit or mis-packed items.

Can I cancel or change my order after it’s been placed?

If you wish to make changes to your order after it has been confirmed, please contact us immediately and we will do our best to accommodate you where possible. Orders which have already been packed or shipped can not be changed.

When will that gorgeous item be back in stock?

Please contact us with enquiries about specific line items, and sign up for updates from uki as new stock arrives and favourites are restocked.

Where can I find information on product sizing? 

Please refer to individual item descriptions for measurements and size guidelines, or don’t hesitate to contact us if your questions are not answered there.

Do your products come with English language directions or care instructions?

All hibi incense comes with English instructions and diagrams. Some basic information such as microwave safety and fabric composition are included on packaging, but if you'd like more information please contact us.

When are you going to be adding more products to your range?

In the future the uki will continue to expand. The easiest way to stay in the loop is by following along on Instagram, Facebook, or subscribing to our newsletter.

Do you have a bricks and mortar store? 

We do not.

How do I update my address/ contact details/ payment card details?
