SHIPPING & RETURNS

Delivery Times & Methods

We aim to dispatch all items within 2-3 working days of receiving your order. Please note that during peak periods (ie in the run up to Christmas) dispatch may be delayed, however your order will be dispatched within 5 working days.

We send the majority of orders via Royal Mail on a standard 2nd class service. Please note that items sent via 2nd class mail should arrive within 2-3 working days of dispatch, however this is not a guaranteed delivery date service and during peak times delivery may take a little longer. If you need your order urgently, please select "Express Shipping" at checkout as this is the only service we currently offer with a guaranteed arrival date.

Large or heavier orders (generally orders over £50 in value or 2kg in weight) will be dispatched via a courier service. This will be a tracked service and tracking information will be made available to you after your order has been dispatched by us.

Our standard postage charge is £3.50 for orders under £25. We offer free mainland UK postage on all orders over £25.

Prices quoted are for UK mainland addresses. Delivery to parts of Scotland, Northern Ireland, the Scottish Highlands and Islands, the Channel Islands, the Isle of Man and the Isle of Wight may incur an additional postage cost to the customer. We will contact you if there will be an extra cost on your order.
