UK Only - The Royal Mail delivery worker will leave a card through your door if you are not in at the time of delivery.  Recorded Delivery items are only kept at your main local collection depot for one week so please ensure you collect the item within this timescale.  If it is not collected after 7 days, the item will be returned to us which will incur more postage costs made payable by you to enable us to send the item to you again.

If you have not received your order after 5 days of purchase, please contact your main local collection depot as the Royal Mail delivery worker may not of left a card through your door which is in most cases.  If it is not there, please contact us to explain that you have not received your item.  You will need to provide us with your order information so we are able to track your order on our database.  We will then track your order on the Royal Mail website for you and email you with an update.

Please be aware that if an order is sent to a different delivery address than the billing address, we will not be held responsible for any lost or damaged parcels as we are unable to make a claim with Royal Mail unless an order is sent to the cardholders address.  We will be happy to provide you with the proof of posting and tracking information so you can make a claim if this is the case.

DELIVERY CHARGES

To ensure you only pay the lowest possible delivery charge, we use a weight based delivery calculation for all orders using the exact prices from Royal Mail.  Cost of delivery is dependant upon total order weight.  Each of our products have been assigned an actual weight and once you add an item to your cart / basket, you will then be given the option to view the total delivery price before you checkout simply by selecting your country.  As you add more items to your cart, the weight will increase and this may mean the delivery price may increase.  All orders totalling £150.00 or more will automatically qualify for FREE postage and packing!

It does not commit you to any order when checking delivery costs until you checkout and make payment, you can simply remove the items from the cart / basket if you so wish.

Please ensure you do select the correct delivery method for your country.

(You can also collect your order to save on P&P if you live in the Blackpool and The Fylde area. This is by prior appointment only, please email us).
