Does Thunder Egg have a shop?

Yes! We have two shops located in Manchester, UK. Our larger shop is on Oldham Street and our second shop is on the first floor inside Afflecks Palace on Church Street, both in the Northern Quarter.

Do you have any special offers?

We regularly run promotions for our customers! If you would like to keep up to date with all of the latest discounts and vouchers, please sign up to our mailing list or check our social media pages (links at the bottom of this page)

Can I redeem an offer if I have already placed my order?

Orders cannot be amended once they have been placed unfortunately.

Which size will fit me?

Please see our size guide tab on each individual product. We include any specific sizing advice that differs from the standard brand size guide in the item description. If you are still unsure, get in touch by emailing hello@thunderegg.co.uk and we will be happy to advise with further sizing info!

Do you sell plus sizes?

We do indeed! If you click 'clothing' in the navigation at the top of this page, you can find our 'Curve' section in the categories. This is a collection of styles from across all of the brands we sell that are available in a UK size 18 +

In the case of most brands we stock, we are the stockists rather than the manufacturers of these items. This means we are only able to stock the size ranges created by each separate brand.

Do you ship to my country?

We ship worldwide!! Please find our up to date shipping policy.

We do not sell any dropshipped stock. Thunder Egg has been a physical brick & mortar store in Manchester city centre since 1990. Our stock is hand-picked by our staff and pre-ordered from our suppliers months in advance.

I'm working on a student project, please can I interview you / take photos in store?

We aim to accommodate as many student projects as we can at Thunder Egg but we get a vast amount of requests!

The size I want isn’t available online, will it be available in store?
