Shipping and Returns
Shipping & Handling
We currently ship all our orders via Royal Mail Tracked 48 and optionally include a Royal Mail Tracked 24 service should you want you parcel faster.
It generally takes 2 days for items to be delivered once your order has been dispatched, however please allow up 4 days as sometimes there may be disruptions in the service, which may delay the delivery time. For express service, your parcels should reach you within 1-2 days from dispatch.
We always try and pack your item/s on the same day your order is received and also try to dispatch it on the same day if possible, otherwise we dispatch all orders the following day. If you place an order on a Friday, your item/s will be dispatched on the Saturday. Please note however for Saturday orders, if you place an order before 9am we can try our best to dispatch your parcel that same day, otherwise your parcel won't be dispatched until Monday. This is due to Post Office collection times during weekdays, which are 5pm and 11:45am on Saturday. Placing your order close to these times cannot guarantee same day dispatch, in which case we will dispatch your items the next available day.
There is also no Royal Mail service on Sundays, so please allow an extra day for your parcel to arrive including express service should you place your order on Friday / Saturday.
Your shipping price will be determined by your order quantity and calculated at check out. Please note that the price you pay for shipping includes fees for inspecting, packing, handling, dropping off your order at the Post Office and shipping.
