Why you're seeing an error message

Error messages typically appear when some information is missing or incorrect, preventing the system from processing your delivery. Below are the most common issues and how to resolve them.


Common errors and how to fix them

Error message

What it means / How to fix it

Invalid email or password

Check your login details. If needed, click "Forgot Password?" to reset it.

Invalid email format

Ensure the email entered in delivery details follows the correct format (e.g., name@example.com).

Invalid phone number

Include the full number with country code (e.g., +44) and ensure it has the right number of digits. Avoid symbols or spaces.

Unclear or unrecognized address

Add more details—building/block number in the address field, floor/door info in the comments. You may be prompted for a phone number to help the courier.

Location out of range / No couriers available

Happens when the package size isn't supported in the area or the location is outside Stuart's zones.

Promo code or coupon issue

Recheck the code for typos. If the code has expired (over 30 days old), it can't be used.

Distance not allowed

The delivery distance exceeds what's allowed for the selected package size. Choose Medium, Large, or Extra Large for longer distances.

Payment declined

Try a different card, switch browsers or use Incognito mode. If on the web, try using the mobile app instead.

"Oops! Something went wrong"

This could be caused by one of the above issues, or appear without warning. Contact support via chat if unsure.


General troubleshooting steps

If you're not getting a specific error but your Dashboard or App isn’t working:

  • Check your internet connection.

  • Try a different browser (preferably Chrome or Safari).

  • Refresh the page. If that fails, try a hard refresh (Ctrl+Shift+R or Cmd+Shift+R).

  • For the mobile app:
