Delivery & Returns

Orders are processed within 24 hours and every effort is made to dispatch within 48 hours. Most orders are sent via Royal Mail, for orders over 2.5kg deliveries are made by MyHermes or DPD GeoPost 48hr courier (for UK delivery).

Please note that two attempts will be made to re-deliver all DPD sent packages and after that they will be kept at a local depot for 5 days for collection. We do advise customers to please provide a delivery address where all packages can be received as once orders have been returned to us a re-delivery charge of £6.00 will be incurred.

Delivery Charges

Mainland UK

Our standard delivery is £4.00 per order. Next Working Day Delivery - £7.50 per order. The postage and packing charge is per order regardless of the numbers of items ordered. Even though some of our products are very small and light our contract with Royal Mail and DPD means we have to pay the same amount for every parcel we send and the £4.00 charge reflects that.

Highlands & Islands, Chanel Islands and Northern Ireland

Customers will be subject to an additional charge to receive delivery for some larger items.

Countries outside UK

Deliveries to all countries outside the UK are charged by weight.

If you are in the armed forces and require goods to be sent to a BFPO address this is charged at standard UK rate regardless of the destination and delivery times may vary.
If we have a valid email address for you, you will receive a confirmation email once your goods have been despatched.

Free Postage and Packing or any "one off" offers regarding free delivery only apply to UK.
