DELIVERY

Both provide a tracked service for delivery within 1 - 2 days following dispatch and will require a signature on receipt. Smaller items will be sent Royal Mail First Class and should also be with you in 1 - 2 working day following dispatch. 

International - Any non-UK orders are sent via Royal Mail International Tracked and/or Signed depending on what services are available in the country of delivery. Royal Mail aims to deliver in 3 - 5 working days, however please allow for any local delays. International delivery is £10 and provides a fully tracked service.

Please note, some countries may apply import duties and fees. You as the customer are responsible for covering any duty fees applied by your country upon delivery.

This is particularly relevant for members of the EU as VAT fees have been introduced since the UK's exit from the EU. These fees often come with a significant admin fee payable to the courier or postal carrier. Please be aware of this prior to ordering.
