Delivery Terms:
It is the customers' responsibility to be in when your order is due for delivery. It is essential to arrange to have your order delivered to an address where someone will be there to receive it. Packages are usually delivered in next working day after receipt of payment.
The delivery service is based on a 1-3 working day service, meaning orders placed before 2pm (for courier delivery services) and 5pm (for our delivery network) Monday to Thursday will be delivered in 1-3 working days and orders placed before 3pm on Friday will be delivered on the following week. For UK mainland, we endeavour to provide a next day delivery service as long as you order within the correct time restrictions. Please note that although this service is generally reliable IT IS NOT GUARANTEED and no delivery time is stipulated.
All our services are trackable and if you call us then we will be happy to supply you with tracking details of your parcel.
Our usually delivery service is Monday - Friday (Our couriers can deliver on a Saturday, but it is a premium service at extra cost, and not quite as reliable.) Please contact us if you require a Saturday delivery & we will be happy to help.
Please note some UK destinations are too remote to receive a 1-3 day service. Please check to see whether your postcode is able to receive deliveries before placing an order and paying for this service.
No deliveries will be made on Christmas Day, Boxing Day, New Years Day and bank holidays.
