Express delivery by First Class post or Courier (e.g. Fedex or UPS):
You may request express delivery. The extra cost of the service will be added and we may contact you to confirm the amount to be added before processing your order.

For some orders or countries, we may deem it necessary to use a courier so that we can track the parcel. In this case, the extra price (over the standard charge) will be quoted before confirming the order.

Delivery method:
Standard delivery would typically be by one of the following depending on the product.
UK: Second class post, or land carrier (orders over approx. 2kg in weight).
Overseas: Air-mail, small packet, parcel post or land carrier.

Land carrier delivery is Monday-Friday 9am-5pm and requires a signature on delivery unless other instructions are given. If you think your order may weigh over 2kg and there might not be anyone present to sign for the parcel, it can help us to know in advance to avoid additional charges or delays.

Christmas:
Please allow extra time during December.

The rates of delivery charges vary according to the currency chosen. You may change your selected currency when browsing products and viewing your basket before check-out.
