Have a question about our umbrellas? Here are the answers to our most popular umbrella-related questions:

Where are you based?
Despite selling umbrellas, our offices are based a stones throw from the sea-side in sunny Bournemouth! Our warehouse is located just a few miles east in Christchurch. For full address details, visit our contact page
Do you have a shop?
Our business is run purely online so I’m afraid we do not have a physical shop or show-room. Because of this we do our absolute best to ensure that all our product listings contain as much information as possible and that our product images are as clear and accurate as can be. Of course, there is a chance we may have missed something out, so please feel free to drop us an email if you have any questions or would like to discuss any products or policies further.
I have a sales enquiry, who should I contact?
If you have a sales query, or would like to introduce a service or plug-in you think that Jollybrolly would benefit from we would ask that you kindly fill out our contact form, here. All submissions are responded to within 48 hours (Mon-Fri), so don’t worry your enquiry won’t get lost!

All of our umbrellas available to buy and are in stock and can be dispatched immediately.
Are your umbrellas waterproof?
They are indeed! Every umbrella you see on our site, even the most beautiful wedding style is 100% waterproof! The ponchos are too ;-)
Are your umbrellas windproof?
There are different properties of some umbrellas which mean they will be suitable for more aggressive weather. Many of the styles we stock are “storm proof”, which means that if lightening were to strike the umbrella, due to the materials used the electricity would not conduct through to the user. This term is industry wide and we agree it sounds like it could be used in a storm (wind, rain, lightening etc) however this doesn’t make it “wind proof".
Unfortunately, there isn’t such a thing as a “wind proof” umbrella, although many make claims to this effect. You can of course get reinforced or vented umbrellas which help dissipate the wind through a vent making it harder for them to turn inside out or break.
If you are after a high performance style, we would recommend taking a look at our high performance selection, here.
Can I buy wholesale? Can I open a business account?
Unfortunately we do not offer wholesale or business accounts. We do however our own brand products on a sliding scale so if you are looking to place a bulk order they do go down in price considerably.
Can I get a sample?
If you are looking to place a bulk order we recommend that you order x1 one of the umbrella you are interested in via the website. This initial cost will then be refunded when you place your final bulk order with us of £250 or more. Can't say fairer than that!

Do you offer umbrellas for hire?
All of our umbrellas are for sale only. We do not offer a hire scheme for our products. Our basic Jollybrolly Range starts from as low as £3.49 per umbrella and you get to keep the products to re-use or re-sell so, more often than not, we work out cheaper than hiring anyway! And you don’t have the fuss of deposits or returning your items!
Do you sell wedding umbrellas?
We have a huge selection of wedding and bridal umbrellas. From detailed lace canopies for the bride to budget options starting as low as £3.49 for guests or large events. Check out our full selection, here to find your perfect umbrella!
Can you deliver directly to the venue?
Of course! We can deliver any day of the week and would be more than happy to deliver your brollies straight to your venue, just enter the venue address in the shipping details at the checkout.

We have suspended all branded products due to suppliers not being able to meet our delivery standards.
We have no anticipated date when these are to return.

We do not offer a returns policy for orders placed through a company, business, organisation or charity as these are not covered under distance selling regulations. Please see our full terms and conditions for more information.
Do you offer a warranty on your products?
In our experience it is incredibly rare that an umbrella will come with a warranty. There are different properties of some umbrellas which mean they will be suitable for more aggressive weather. Many of the styles we stock are “storm proof”, which means that if lightening were to strike the umbrella, due to the materials used the electricity would not conduct through to the user. This term is industry wide and we agree sounds like it could be used in a storm (wind, rain, lightening etc) however this doesn’t make it “wind proof".
Unfortunately, there isn’t such a thing as a “wind proof” umbrella, although many make claims to this effect. You can of course get reinforced or vented umbrellas such as the Stormshield Umbrellas which help dissipate the wind through a vent making it harder for them to turn inside out or break. Even so as there is no way of measuring the wind any given umbrella has been subjected to or the strain the umbrella was put under it’s generally difficult to tell if the umbrella was put under a force greater than it can withstand or whether there was a genuine fault, especially over an extended period of time or multiple uses.
We do, however, supply a selection of Blunt Umbrellas. This particular brand is extremely high quality and our supplier offers a 2 year warranty on all products.
Do you offer a buy back scheme?
If you find yourself outside of your 14 day returns period, we do offer a buy back scheme for selected products. Please feel free to contact us at [email protected] to see if your order qualifies and for further information.
What if I’m outside of my returns period?
We offer a 14 day return period on all items, you can find our returns form, here. If you find yourself outside of your 14 day returns period unfortunately your order will no longer be eligible for refund, but if you would like to exchange your items or enquire about our buy back scheme please contact a member of our team on [email protected].
