Remember, all your parcels require a signature on delivery but you can easily choose an alternative address if you know you won't be in. :)

Delivery & Returns

We offer a wide range of delivery options which are offered at the first stage of the checkout process. We realise there are so many options below but we try to cater for everybody! If you are confused, add the items to your basket and click the "Delivery Costs" link on your basket page to see the options available to you. 1st and 2nd Class parcels are sent recorded delivery and will require a signature. If you are not in, the postman will leave a card to explain alternatives for re-delivery or collection from the local sorting office. If is not collected it will ultimately end up back with us, when we will be happy to attempt another delivery. However, this will regrettably incur the appropriate charge at cost of postage. If you would rather not have to sign for your parcel please state this on your order comments. Unfortunately, under these circumstances we cannot accept reponsibility for missing parcels but will make every effort to assist in any necessary claims. To date Royal Mail have lost only one parcel this year! These prices are estimates please use the 'Delivery Cost' tool on your basket page for exact prices.

We always endeavour to send your order the same day it is received.

In using Royal Mail for our delivery service, we are bound by their conditions. For First and Second Class items, a period of fourteen working days must be allowed before making a claim for lost goods. This is 28 days for international packages. Special Next Day delivery can be dealt with immediately after failure of delivery.

On a positive note, Royal Mail very rarely lose our parcels! Admittedly, they can leave them in some strange places, plant pots, wheelie bins but by and large they almost always arrive!
