How long will it take my order to reach me?
The majority of our in stock orders are delivered within 8 days, although we do ask you to allow between 14 and 21 days for delivery as some items are despatched to you directly from one of our trusted specialist suppliers. If you have selected Express Delivery and ordered before the product order deadline, then your order will be delivered during the next working day.
We will confirm receipt of your order immediately. Within 48 hours of placing your order we will additionally e-mail you a detailed order acknowledgment which will contain further details of the status of your order, including a tracking number to enable you to track the delivery direct to your door.
Can I send an order to a different delivery address?
When you place your first order with us, for security reasons and to protect you from fraud we can only despatch it to your credit card billing address. On your second and subsequent orders we are happy to despatch to alternative addresses.
I’m ordering several items: will they arrive at the same time?
Although we hold some products in our warehouses, some of our product range is sent to you directly from our trusted specialist suppliers. This means that items will not necessarily arrive at the same time.
When will my express delivery item arrive?
The order deadline for our next-day Express Delivery varies according to the product. The earliest cut-off time is midday and for most of the products as late as 6.00pm. Check each product for the actual cut-off time. Monday-Friday next day delivery excludes weekend delivery (an order placed after 6.00pm on a Friday will be delivered on the following Tuesday).
Only items marked are eligible for this service. Other items come from our trusted specialist suppliers and will take longer to be delivered even if ordered at the same time as items eligible for express delivery.
