UK Mainland
For UK standard delivery, orders placed before 12pm (GMT) Monday to Friday will be delivered within 2-4 working days.
We also offer Saturday and Sunday delivery options. For orders placed before 12pm (GMT) Monday to Friday, your order will be delivered on your chosen day by courier. Orders placed after the cut off time of 12pm on Friday or over the weekend will be delivered the following weekend.
For deliveries by DPD, the delivery time will be specified via the DPD Text & Email service. DPD will send you a Text message or Email (with your details provided) confirming a 1 hour delivery slot. You can arrange for a redelivery to your home or alternative address. You may also request DPD to leave the parcel in a safe place, but you are responsible for the parcel if it goes missing or is stolen from your chosen safe place.
Upon delivery, a signature will be required. If the delivery attempt is unsuccessful, the delivery courier will leave a card giving the item number, date, time they called and the address of the nearest depot. If no contact is made, DPD will attempt to re-deliver your order on the next working day. Alternatively DPD will attempt to deliver your parcel to a neighbour unless you contact us and inform us not to do so. If no attempt to redeliver is successful, your order will be returned to us.
If your order is sent back to us, our Customer Services Team will contact you to arrange re-delivery however you may be charged for the additional shipping fee.
