Frequently Asked Questions

Shipping Methods

All orders received before 14:00 should be despatched that day.

UK despatches

We have three delivery options available in the UK, all of which require a signature on delivery. Please feel free to select a work address for delivery if you are not likely to be at your account address during the day.

Standard Delivery (£5.00) - uses Royal Mail and usually takes between three and five working days, however packages can take up to 14 working days, if you require a next working day service the next day delivery option is strongly advised. If you are not at the address you will be left a card and you collect your parcel from your local Post Office or Sorting House.

Next Day Delivery (£6.00) - uses Initial City Link or FedEx and all domestic parcels ordered between Monday and Thursday will be guaranteed to arrive the following working day before 17:30. If you are not at the delivery address your parcel will automatically be put out for redelivery the following working days. If there is going to be no one at the delivery address we recommend selecting Standard Delivery!

Within the checkout page you are asked for your telephone number, this is only used by the courier company to assist your delivery and it is a good idea to provide this.

London Same Day (£20.00) - for those of you in a hurry in central London! Please give us a call on 020 7247 6254 and we can let you know an eta and confirm that our couriers deliver to your post code.

Deliveries outside the UK

All international despatches (£15.00) require a signature on delivery and we use the quickest route to get the parcel to you. On many occasions this is International Signed For or Guaranteed AirMail but we also use UPS and City Link to some destinations. Please note that Royal Mail International Signed For packages can take up to 21 working days to reach their destination.
