Shipping Information


Shipping costs are determined according to the weights of the product(s) bought.

Royal Mail and Airmail packages are collected about 1pm each working day.

Parcels for DPD & Parcelforce are collected around 4pm each working day.

All items should be in stock and we process your orders the same or next working day. If you need the item urgently then please call us on 03300 245641 / 01952 587068 and we'll check stock levels for you and advise when we can despatch.

A despatch email is sent to your email address when the item is handed over to the delivery company, with UK Royal Mail, DPD and Parcelforce that will include the relevant Tracking Reference.

UK Shipping


Customers are offered a choice between Royal Mail 2nd Class Tracked, Royal Mail 1st Class Tracked and Parcelforce 24 for orders below 2kg, above 2kg only Parcelforce 24 is offered.

The Highlands & Islands of Scotland and Northern Ireland are separated as destinations and though prices for Royal Mail services are the same as the UK for other couriers it will vary.

Parcelforce 24 is generally a next day delivery following despatch, this doesn't include the Northern Ireland or the Highlands and Islands of Scotland which take an additional day.

Overseas Shipping


Orders below 2kg are generally sent Airmail Small Packet, above this weight they are despatched using Parcelforce.

The Budget Courier 7 to 10 Day Service groups orders from a number of customers before submitting them into the courier network and it may be up to a week before we send your order to them. This service is not ideal for those who want their order promptly and we would recommend another option if this is the case.

For some Eastern European countries we have switched to UPS Economy service as this can be cheaper than Parcelforce and takes about 1 week for delivery. This is a tracked service so you can see the progress of your parcel from the time it is booked in all the way through delivery.

Determining Shipping Charges


You can calculate delivery charges by adding the product(s) to the shopping cart and then starting the checkout process, enter the country you would like us to ship to, press Next and the default shipping will be shown with other shipping options further down the screen in a dropdown box.

For UK and EU deliveries VAT is applied if the item(s) purchased are VAT'able, if the products are mixed then the VAT is calculated pro-rata. This is in line with the VAT Guide and Notice 700/24 Postage and Delivery Charges.

VAT is not charged on orders to non-EU countries, in this instance product costs are reduced in line with the current UK VAT rate.
