SHIPPING & RETURNS

Shipping and returns policy

As a small, family business we would like to be as reasonable as possible with our delivery costs.  We do not wish to make any profit from delivering our products to your door nor do we wish to make the process complicated so we have chosen to apply a standard shipping fee of £2.99 for any order, regardless of size or weight.

​

The delivery charges will be calculated once you reach the checkout.  

​

Our shipping costs are based on items being delivered within UK mainland, this excludes Highlands, the Islands and Northern Ireland.  Delivery to the Highlands and Northern Ireland does cost more and is £7.95.  At the checkout please select the area you wish the item to be delivered to and this will be calculated for you.  Should you forget we can invoice you separately and your item/s will be posted upon receipt of funds.

​

If you do require your order to be sent by priority post e.g. 48 hour delivery then please contact us via email prior to check out so that we can calculate the correct shipping costs with an alternative courier (DPD or Parcelforce).

​

​

Free delivery when you spend over £15

If you spend over £15 in one transaction then you will qualify for free UK delivery - this option will be applied upon checkout.  We aim to dispatch our items within 2 – 3 working days.  Please see our 'Delivery times' section below for further details.

Delivery slots will be based upon availability and will be arranged via email after the purchase has been completed.  An option is available for this delivery service at the point of check out.
