Delivery & Returns / Shipping
Standard 1st or 2nd Class UK Delivery
Orders are sent to any residential destination in the UK by Royal Mail using either their 1st or 2nd class standard service, dependant on order size and value. We aim to deliver all goods to UK addresses within 5 working days.
We aim to dispatch all orders received before 3pm GMT the same day. Orders delivered after this time will be dispatched at 9am the following morning.
If there should be a problem with your order then we will inform you by email or telephone. Deliveries may occasionally be required to have a signature, so if possible please give a delivery address where the order can be signed for during working hours.
Special Delivery
We also offer a guaranteed next working day delivery service within the UK. This is a chargeable service and is shown on the checkout stage of your order. Orders placed before 12 noon will be guaranteed for delivery on the next working day. Orders placed after 12 noon will be dispatched at 9am the following morning and the next day guarantee will only start from that point in time. Note orders placed before 12 noon on a Friday will more than likely be attempted to be delivered on the Saturday morning although if not then it will be delivered Monday (this is at the discretion of Royal Mail or any courier that we may use). Orders placed over a weekend will be processed and dispatched on the following Monday for delivery on Tuesday. Bank Holidays and strikes will cause a delay (for whatever their duration) and should not be considered working days.
These timings assume that the item(s) you order are in stock, which they should be if displayed on our website. However, sometimes stock discrepancies occur and an item may be accidentally on display but unavailable. If this should be the case then we will inform you by email as soon as we find out (and we will of course refund you the next day delivery surcharge unless you chose an alternative item in time for us to substitute it and still dispatch that day) for peace of mind we highly recommend you contact us to check if an item is in stock.
