Delivery & Returns

We aim to provide an effective delivery service using a number of delivery options available to our customers which can be found and determined within the online ordering process.

Standard Delivery - UK orders

For our standard delivery service, we use Royal Mail and Courier delivery services. Standard delivery can take up to 5 working days from despatch date. Postage and packaging costs are dependable on the weight of the product(s). Please note that standard delivery may take longer than stated if circumstances beyond our control disrupt postal services.

Expedited - Next Working Day Delivery

If you would like to receive your goods sooner, customers can opt for our expedited delivery service.

Note: A working day is classed as Monday to Friday. Saturdays and Sundays are not considered working days.

Please note that your order must be placed before 3pm to be despatched on the same day.

Extended delivery times of 2 days apply for a small number of UK postcodes for items posted on our inland services. This effects the following postcodes:

International Shipping - Outside UK

Although our couriers will endeavour to deliver parcels oversees within 10 working days, due to the nature of overseas shipping, flights and customs please allow up to 14 days before contacting us about a delay. We cannot offer compensation for any delay incurred on parcels sent outside of the UK.

Customers should note that all delivery times stated are provided on a guideline basis only and therefore cannot be guaranteed.

International orders delivered outside the UK will have UK VAT removed at the checkout but local duties and taxes may be charged by the delivery company on entry to the delivery country. You will be contacted directly and it is your responsibility to settle these charges before your order can be delivered.

Free Delivery

All orders using free standard delivery to the UK mainland will not be charged for delivery unless an alternative service is selected by the customer.
