DELIVERY AND RETURNS

Delivery

Our delivery rates are calculated on an order value basis. All standard deliveries are delivered by Royal Mail on a second class service (3 to 5 working days), express services are 1st class (1 to 2 working days) and our next day courier option (order before 1.30pm) is delivered by TNT (1 working day).

All available delivery options for your order can be selected at the check-out and if you order before 1.30pm Monday to Thursday and 11.30am Friday, your goods will be dispatched the same day.

Please note: both standard and express services could be affected by public holidays and busy periods, please allow sufficient time for your goods to arrive for your project deadline. Delivery times cannot be guaranteed and no delivery services are available on bank holidays.

Our next day courier service does not include weekends or bank holidays and this service to the Channel Islands, Isle of Man and Isle of Wight is 2 working days. Please be aware that our Express Delivery service is not available in the Scottish Isles and those who are situated within the Isles of Scilly should make contact before making payment for our express services.
