Shipping & Delivery

Delivery can be to any address as long the address at which your payment card is registered is also present on your order. All deliveries must be signed for (except items sent by post and which are small enough to be put through your letterbox). Please make sure you keep the receipt enclosed with your goods. Buyers may request for goods to be left safe, with a neighbour or collect point directly with the carrier, and the buyer will need to accept the carriers terms and conditions when requesting this.

Standard Delivery charge is viewable once the item(s) and address have been entered into the cart. You will always be able to see this charge before submitting your order. If you are an UK offshore (including Scottish Highlands) please contact us here before placing an order, as your delivery zone may incur a carriage surcharge. Please include your full delivery address when enquiring into delivery costs. If you place an order prior to contacting us, we will notify you of any additional postage costs prior to processing your order. You will have the option of cancelling your order.

  • Remote, including Scottish Highlands & Islands (postal codes below)

The contents of your order and your delivery postcode area will determine which delivery services you will be offered. We do not deliver to Post Office (P.O.) boxes, or shipping agent addresses. If you require the goods sending to a BFPO address please contact us prior to ordering for availability. Subject to availability, surcharges may apply.

DPD (Local) are our main handler within the Mainland UK. You will receive a text and email notification confirming your delivery. Please provide a valid mobile number at checkout to receive text updates.

Additional delivery services may be offered such as Next Working Day. Whilst these services are not guaranteed, 98% of orders placed on our webstore before 12pm (Noon) are delivered Next Working Day (Monday to Friday exc. Bank Holidays).

Delivery will be between the hours of 7am and 6pm; unfortunately we are unable to confirm an accurate time. If goods are sent via DPD Local, providing an accurate mobile number is provided at time of checkout, you will receive regular text notifications including ETA’s.

Failed deliveries due to an incorrect or invalid address provided at time of checkout, or in writing, or returned to us as “refused delivery” or “unresponsive” may be chargeable at the cost of rerouting and/or returning the item back to us and deducted from the refund. The carriers typically attempt delivery 2-3 times, and may leave the consignment at a local collect point (subject to service) for between 1-3 days, before returning to sender if the consignment has not been recovered. In most cases the carriers will charge for failed, refused or unresponsive deliveries. Charge is subject to delivery service used to deliver the consignment. Concerns relating to a delivery address must be provided in writing at the earliest opportunity following an order being placed. We are able to amend an address in most cases prior to the shipment leaving us. Amending an address following a shipment may result in rerouting charges, charged by the carriers.  Offshore deliveries rerouting charges may apply if the delivery fails. This includes the cost to ship the consignment back to us. Customers are liable for additional postage and packaging costs. To minimise unnecessary charges, double check the address and postal code you supply at checkout before processing to payment.

We can only send to the address entered on the web order prior to payment. Addresses supplied through PayPal or any other payment method offered at time of order may not be received and processed. If you need to amend an address, please notify us in wiring at the earliest opportunity. If we are able to amend the delivery address before the goods are officially scanned and collected by the carriers (which can be before the goods are marked as “despatched” or “completed” on our systems), additional charges may not apply. If the address needs to be amended while the consignment is in the carriers network, additional charges may apply. See above for details.

We will select the most appropriate carrier for your goods. This means your delivery may arrive in more than one batch to ensure your order is transported in the best possible way.

Whilst every reasonable effort shall be made to keep to any delivery date, time of delivery shall not be of the essence and we shall not be liable for any losses, costs, damages or expenses incurred by the customer or any other person or company arising directly or indirectly out of any failure to meet any estimated delivery date. The risk in the goods shall pass from the company to the customer upon delivery of such goods to the customer.

Deliveries outside of the United Kingdom (UK) may be subject to import duties and taxes. Please check with your local customs and excise for further information. Lead times outside the UK will vary and we will offer an approximate lead time at checkout. These are to be used as a guideline only.
