For all purchases within the UK, there are 3 postal options: Free, Priority and Next Day Delivery. Free delivery parcels are sent by Royal Mail Second Class and takes 7-10 working days. Orders placed using the free delivery option do not take priority over other orders.

If you are not in to sign for your order then a card will be left informing you that your parcel has been taken to your local Post Office depot. You can arrange to collect it from there, or you can arrange a redelivery with your depot. Post Office depots hold parcels for 14 days before returning them to us. If your parcel is returned to us as "not called for", which means that nobody collected it from the local depot or arranged redelivery, then we will treat this as a cancelled order and we will make a charge not exceeding 10% of the order value to cover costs we have incurred in receiving your payment, sending your parcel and paying for the return. We regret that we cannot be held responsible if the carrier has failed to notify you of an attempted delivery. Please contact the carrier directly. We will inform you of the refund amount via email. If you still require the goods please reorder. Your order will usually arrive within 2-3 days of it being placed, so if you are expecting an order to be delivered and it has not arrived, then please check with your local depot to see if they are holding it for you.
As part of our efforts to maintain a "greener" environment, we try to recycle some packing materials where possible, such as bubble wrap, polystyrene peanut chips and cardboard boxes. Please be assured that your parcel will be properly packaged, even if some materials have been recycled. We hope that you won't be offended or have any objections to this.
