What happens if my Jungle Culture order arrives damaged?
Jungle Culture replaces or refunds it, whichever you prefer. If your order arrives damaged, broken or faulty, send a photo of the damage to customercare@jungleculture.eco. This is separate from the change-of-mind return, which you post back yourself within 30 days of delivery. Products that break through no fault of your own within a stated warranty period are replaced free of charge.
How do I send a change-of-mind return to Jungle Culture?
Post the order back to Jungle Culture, Unit 14 Royson way, Hurn road, Dereham, NR19 1WD, within 30 days of delivery. Include a note with your name and order number, and the refund follows within 1-2 days of the package being received. The FAQ also asks you to let customer care know within 30 days by email at customercare@jungleculture.eco so they can help with the returns process.
Can I cancel a Jungle Culture order after placing it?
Yes, as long as it has not been dispatched yet. Contact Jungle Culture as soon as possible, and if the parcel has not left the warehouse, the refund is issued immediately. As the shop aims to dispatch orders within 1 day of payment, the window for cancelling is short, so it is worth checking your basket and any voucher deduction carefully before you pay.
Does Jungle Culture send gift receipts?
Yes, on request. Jungle Culture does not include receipts or invoices in parcels unless specifically asked. If your order is a gift and you want a gift receipt, mention it in your order notes and the team will hand-write a note to put in the parcel. The homepage also presents rattan trays and mother-of-pearl homeware in printed gift boxes wrapped in recycled tissue.
How is a Jungle Culture parcel packed?
Without plastic apart from tape on larger orders, according to the delivery page. Orders go out in recycled cardboard boxes or paper-stuffed envelopes, padded with old newspaper. The FAQ adds that the packing tape is made from paper and labels are printed with a laser printer so no ink is wasted. Jungle Culture says it is still working on removing the remaining plastic tape.
Are all Jungle Culture products natural or organic?
No. Jungle Culture states that all its products are reusable and sustainably produced, but some cannot be made from sustainable materials alone, so they are made from long-lasting materials instead. Its own definition of «zerowaste» is that products contain no single-use, non-recyclable materials and come either package-free or packed in recyclable kraft paper or cardboard.
Does Jungle Culture run an affiliate or wholesale programme?
Yes, both. All products are available for wholesale, and a wholesale brochure can be requested via the distribution page. The affiliate scheme pays between 10-20% commission depending on the size of your website. Some products can also be customised for businesses, and the UK design team engraves bamboo straws, coconut bowls and cutlery with a brand's design.
How does dropshipping with Jungle Culture work?
It runs through the Syncee marketplace. Retailers sign up to Syncee, get a 14 day free trial, and sync some or all Jungle Culture products to their store. Jungle Culture then ships each sale from local warehouses and uploads tracking automatically. The programme pays 25% commission, and lead times are 2-5 days to the UK, EU, US and Canada, 14 days elsewhere.
Who operates the Jungle Culture website?
Chalk & Skinner Ltd, trading as Jungle Culture, according to the Terms of Service. The store is hosted on Shopify, and the terms state that credit card information is always encrypted during transfer. The company's headquarters is in Britain, while production takes place with partner farms, factories and craft workshops in Asia that the team visits regularly.
Jungle Culture: plastic-free swaps and handmade homeware from a British zero waste brand
Jungle Culture is a British online shop for people who want to replace disposable, plastic-heavy everyday items with reusable ones. Its range covers safety razors, coconut shell bowls, bamboo cutlery, dish brushes and handcrafted homeware, made with independent artisans and makers, many of them in rural Vietnam, and sent out in recycled cardboard and paper.
Orders ship from the UK, so British customers get short delivery times and no customs charges. With a voucher code from save-up.co.uk your order of zero waste swaps or gifts becomes cheaper.
The range from bathroom to kitchen table
The catalogue is built around swaps for items that usually end up in the bin. In the bathroom that means reusable metal and bamboo safety razors for men and women, plastic-free shaving soap bars, natural soaps and bamboo toothbrushes. Dermaplaners, sold as eyebrow razors, are meant to replace tweezing, threading or waxing. In the kitchen you find plant-based dish brush sets, cutlery sets in bags and reusable straws, while the homeware side has grown into decorative pieces suited to gifts.
- Shaving and skincare: safety razors, razor blades, shaving soaps, dermaplaners
- Personal care: natural body bars, exfoliant bars, bamboo toothbrushes
- Kitchen: dish brush starter sets, bamboo and dark wood cutlery, bamboo straws with jute bag
- Tableware: coconut bowls and spoons in sets, wooden cups
- Homeware: hand-woven rattan trays, mother-of-pearl trays and coasters
Delivery, returns and packaging done without plastic
Jungle Culture aims to dispatch within a day of payment, and UK parcels take 2-3 business days. Shipping to UK addresses is free above £40, which is easy to reach with a set of bowls or a razor plus blades. Everything is packed in recycled boxes or paper-stuffed envelopes, padded with newspaper and sealed with paper tape. If you change your mind, you post the parcel back to Dereham within 30 days of delivery with a note giving your name and order number, and the refund follows within one to two days of arrival. Damaged items are handled by photo via email, and some products carry 5-year or lifetime warranties.
How to save at Jungle Culture
The simplest saving is the delivery threshold: plan your basket so it clears £40 after any deduction, because a voucher code normally lowers the price of the goods, not the shipping. Jungle Culture also runs promotions that are applied automatically at checkout, so look at the basket total before and after entering a code to see which deal gives you more. Sets such as the four-piece coconut bowl set or the six-piece dish brush starter set bundle items you would otherwise buy one by one.
If you are furnishing your home more widely, you can also browse further Home & Furniture shops with vouchers on save-up.co.uk, such as Oak&More Voucher Codes, Pagazzi Discount Codes, Sheet Story Promo Code and Laybrook Voucher Code.
From a single bamboo straw to 1% for the Planet
The brand's story starts with Jungle Straws, launched in August 2018 with reusable bamboo straws handmade on a family-run farm in Northern Vietnam. The journey later led to the coconut-growing south of the country, where the coconut bowls are upcycled from reclaimed shells. The headquarters is in Britain, and the team visits its partner farms and workshops in Asia regularly to check working conditions and production standards. Jungle Culture is a member of 1% for the Planet and pledges 1% of its yearly turnover to environmental causes, and the .eco domain is chosen as a public commitment to that focus.
- Products designed with British designers and Asian artisans
- Rattan trays hand woven in rural Vietnam
