• We aim to despatch orders on the same day, but our standard despatch time is 2 – 3 working days after ordering. (not Saturday or Sunday)
• After you have placed an order, you will receive an email to state your order is complete (Please check your junk mail for this).
• The chosen courier will deliver to your shipping/delivery address, if they attempt delivery and nobody is home, they might try a neighbour or take the parcel to the nearest collection point. If they are unable to deliver to the stated address, they will leave a card or email you. Please take relevant I.D. with you.
