Delivery

Delivery charges are based on the total order weight and delivery address and will be shown during the checkout process.

For orders up to 14kg courier delivery costs start from £9.00 to most of the UK, and from £12 to areas designated as more remote by courier companies.

For smaller orders by weight/value Royal Mail is also available - this will be shown as an option if applicable.

If you place your order before 14:00hrs Monday-Friday (excluding UK public holidays) it will normally be dispatched the same day for delivery via a tracked courier service. Orders placed after 14:00hrs may still be processed but your order will be dispatched on the next working day due to courier collection times.

Tracked courier delivery normally takes 1-2 business days but is not a guaranteed service. Very occasionally courier deliveries can take longer. Deliveries to areas designated as remote by our courier may take 3-5 working days in certain cases.
