- NEW! All UK orders are now being sent by Royal Mail 24. You should receive a text message or email from Royal Mail the evening before your order is due to be delivered with the tracking number. This service is replacing our previous main UK delivery company APC and this is a 24 hour service so will be a quicker service for our UK customers. Customers from the Channel Islands and the Isle of Man’s orders are also sent Royal Mail 24 but may take slightly longer because of their geographic nature.

- If a signature is required for an order to be delivered and no one is available at the delivery address provided, this may be left with a neighbour who can sign for it on your behalf. If you would not like your order left with a neighbour, please let us know at the time of placing the order and we will inform the courier.

- For International orders please allow 5 to 10 working days for delivery.
- With international orders the 5 to 10 working days is only a guide, we cannot be held responsible for any extra delays caused by customs.
- We do not ship to every country, to see if we deliver to your country fill in your address and if we ship there you will see the shipping options available.

BREXIT: IMPORTANT INFO FOR INTERNATIONAL CUSTOMERS
From the 1st January 2021 we have new rules regarding international orders. All international orders placed on our website will be ZERO RATED for VAT so you will no longer pay any UK VAT on your order but will be liable for VAT in your own country. As the UK’s VAT rate is 20% you should find you will pay a similar rate in your country but probably not more than 20%, but this does vary.
You also need to be mindful of possible import duty if your order is of a certain value (again this varies by country) but it would be a wise move to see what that threshold is and keep your orders below that amount. That way you shouldn’t be paying any more for your orders than you were doing before 1st January 2021 and you may actually find you end up paying a little bit less because our VAT rate of 20% is quite high.
Please be aware that as per our terms and conditions all international orders are sent at the customers own risk.
