Hi Krisztina,
Thank you so much for your message, and I'm genuinely sorry this is cutting it so close to your beach holiday.
I've checked your order #2626 - the Honoria Tankini in Green - and I can see it's currently with the courier at the information-received stage. At this point, the shipping label has been registered with them, but the parcel is waiting for collection. It's completely normal for tracking to look quiet for the first few days before the courier picks it up and starts moving it through their network.
Based on where your parcel is now, I'd realistically expect it to arrive within about 7 to 12 days. I know that's very tight for a holiday coming up soon, and I'm genuinely sorry we can't guarantee it will make it in time.
Unfortunately, there's nothing we can do to speed things up once an order has shipped - it's with the courier now and out of our hands. And on the refund you've asked for: I completely understand why you want one, but we're not able to process refunds on orders that are still in transit. It's a firm policy because once the parcel is with the courier, we can't track it or take responsibility for it in the same way.
I really do want to help though. You can follow your parcel here: https://marlow-london.com/apps/parcelpanel?nums=4PX3002999679790CN Once the courier picks it up and it starts moving through their network, the tracking will update and you'll be able to see the progress there.
And if it genuinely doesn't arrive before you leave, please do get in touch with us - we'll absolutely make sure we sort something out for you at that point.
I'm sorry I can't give you better news on this one. Let me know if there's anything else I can help with.
Warm regards,
Anna

Hi Anna,
Thank you for your update.
I appreciate the offer of £15 off my next order, but I would rather receive that amount as a cash refund instead of store credit, as I'm not sure I'll be placing another order.
I also wanted to mention that I ordered this item because I'm going on a beach holiday soon, and I was expecting it to arrive in time for my trip. The delay is therefore very disappointing, and I'm concerned it may not arrive before I leave.
Could you please let me know if there's anything you can do to speed up the delivery? If not, I would appreciate a full refund to my original payment method.
I look forward to hearing from you.
Kind regards,
Krisztina

I wanted to reach out to you myself rather than leave you wondering. Because of some internal delays on our end and higher-than-usual demand, your order is taking a little longer to reach you than we'd like - and I'm sorry about that.
Here's exactly where it is right now: it's been booked in with the carrier and is preparing to move. Based on where it is, expected arrival is about 7 to 12 days.
You can follow it live here any time: https://marlow-london.com/apps/parcelpanel?nums=4PX3002999679790CN
As a genuine apology for the wait, here's £15 off your next order - just use code STORECREDIT15 at checkout.
Thank you so much for your patience - it's on its way, and we're keeping an eye on it from our side.
Warm regards,

Hi Krisztina,
Thank you for coming back to me, and I completely understand you'd rather have your money back than a credit toward a future order.
I have to be honest with you rather than string you along: because your order is still on its way and hasn't arrived yet, I'm not able to issue a refund on it at this stage, that's a hard rule on our end for anything still in transit. I know that's not what you wanted to hear, especially with a holiday coming up.
On speeding it up, I also want to be straight with you rather than promise something I can't be sure of: I can't guarantee it'll arrive in time for your trip, and I don't want to tell you it's been put on any kind of priority handling when I can't honestly confirm that's how it works once it's moving. What I can tell you is that if it doesn't land before you leave, I will make it right for you.
If it hasn't arrived by the time you're due to travel, please come straight back to me and I'll personally look at what we can do at that point, including a genuine refund if that's the right outcome once we know it hasn't made it. I really don't want you left out of pocket over this.
I'm sorry again for the wait and the added stress with your holiday on the line.
Warm regards,
Anna
