Please note that for orders to N. Ireland, the Highlands & Islands, next working day / Saturday deliveries cannot be guaranteed. Please call if you have any specific out of area delivery requirements.

Unfortunately, we cannot guarantee delivery times.

All items are advertised subject to availability. If we are ever out of stock of an item and cannot supply within a few days, we will e-mail or phone you. You will have the option to cancel your order, wait or accept an alternative.

We are a small retailer, and while we do have a modern EPOS system mistakes can still happen. Inevitably we may therefore occasionally sell out of an item that is still showing on the website as in stock. If we have sold out of an item, we cannot always repeat or supply future stock at the same price.

Royal Mail parcel post typically takes 3 working days (90%), as does second class letter post (98%). Over 90% of first class letters are delivered the next working day.

Overseas Shipping Charges

Our overseas shipping and postal charges outlined in the tables are based on the following approximate weights.

Parcels shipped to Europe – Up to 20Kg

Parcels shipped Globally – Up to 5Kg.

If your parcel is heavier or especially bulky we will e-mail you with a revised shipping quote. You will not be obliged to pay this, however we reserve the right to refuse the order if the shipping costs are not paid. We will do all that is possible to keep the shipping costs to the minimum while still using a quality and reliable service.
