Delivery Information:

All orders over £10 in value are shipped free of charge to UK addresses. Orders under £10 in value will incur a £2 delivery charge.

If we have the item you have ordered in stock then delivery should take no more than 2 working days. Where we don't have an item in stock we try to specify an accurate delivery time in the Availability/Delivery column for the particular item (please note that we are at the mercy of our suppliers and sometimes the delivery time may be longer than estimated). If you need an item by a specific date, eg for a birthday, then give us that date in the comments so we can try to comply.

Large or expensive orders are shipped by Business Post. Orders shipped by Business Post usually arrive within 1 working day (sometimes 2) - someone must be in to sign for orders delivered by Business Post (unless you specify alternative arrangements in the shipping notes section when placing the order) or your parcel will taken back to your local Business Post depot.

Please note that where you specify an order can be left without a signature we can not be held responsible if the parcel goes missing.

If your order is to be shipped by Business Post please try to provide a shipping address where you know someone will be around to sign for the parcel (such as a work address). This is especially important for orders which are need asap or for Christmas! Changing the delivery address after the parcel has been shipped incurs a charge (usually £10) from Business Post which we will pass onto you. Refusal of a parcel which is then shipped back to us also incurs a £10 charge which again will be passed onto the customer.

Orders (small and in-expensive items) which are shipped using Royal Mail are always shipped First Class post which means your order should be with you in 2 working days if we have the item in stock. Please note that we cannot send replacement items for missing Royal Mail parcels until they have been missing within the postal service for 14 working days at which point we may declare them lost. These are the guidelines set by Royal Mail and as such we must adhere to them.

Orders shipped by Royal Mail Standard Parcel Service take between 7 and 10 working days to arrive (Royal Mail Standard Parcel Service is used to ship orders to places which are outside of the mainland UK, such as Northern Ireland, Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Islands of Scotland). Please note we have to allow 15 working days for a parcel to be delivered.

For orders being shipped overseas we primarily use Airsure. This service usually takes somewhere between 5 and 10 working days (depending on destination). Please note that Airsure can take upto 28 working days.
