Vivara are open for business and we are delivering our complete range of products to customers. Orders can be placed in the usual way on our website, or by calling our customer service team on 01 233 2046 Monday-Friday, 9am to 5pm.

Delivery of Orders

We are processing and dispatching all orders as quickly as possible from our Netherlands HQ. Orders are shipped via DHL and typically take up to 5-6 days for delivery. Once your package has been shipped you will receive tracking information so you can follow your parcel on its journey to you.

We thank you for your continued support and custom.

*During busy periods, orders may take a little longer to get to you.

Staying Safe

We are following the governments advice to ensure we keep our employees and customers safe during this time. Where possible, many of our employees are now working from home, and we are following high standards of health and safety in our warehouse. Drivers will also be observing social distancing practices when delivering your parcels.

Delivery Charges

For orders under €35.00 we continue to heavily subsidise postage, packing and insurance making it a reasonable €5 per order, no matter what the size!

For orders €35 and over we offer free delivery on all purchases.

Whilst placing an order, our basket page will show you an estimated delivery charge for your order. This will be confirmed for you at the final stage during checkout. 

Please note: our courier requires deliveries to be signed for.

Delivery 

Orders placed online or over the phone will normally be delivered in 5 working days. Orders placed by post may take an additional 5 working days.

Delivery is Monday-Friday except bank holidays.

*Although we do our utmost to fulfil this, there may be exceptional circumstances beyond our control when this is not possible and delivery may take longer.

Gift Delivery

If you are purchasing products as a gift for someone else we can arrange for these to be delivered directly to the recipient.

You will be given the opportunity to select this service during the online checkout process or you can request to send as a gift if you place your order by phone.

Unfortunately we are currently unable to deliver outside the Republic of Ireland from this site - we do however, have operations based in other countries.
