 Order Processing & Delivery

Processing Time: All orders are processed within 1–2 working days after purchase.  
Delivery Time (UK): Orders typically arrive within 1–5 working days after dispatch.

We offer express delivery, and once your order has been shipped, you will receive tracking information so you can follow your parcel every step of the way.

All items are carefully packaged to ensure they arrive in perfect condition.

Working days do not include weekends or UK bank holidays.

Shipping Costs

Shipping costs are calculated at checkout.  
You will always see the full delivery price before confirming your order.

Tracking

Once your order has been dispatched, tracking details will be sent via email or SMS, depending on the details provided at checkout.

Delivery Delays

While we aim to meet all delivery estimates, delays can occasionally occur due to:

High order volumes  
Courier issues  
Weather or external disruptions  

If your order is delayed, we will keep you informed and work to resolve any issues quickly.

International Shipping

We ship internationally from the United Kingdom.

Delivery times may vary depending on the destination, customs clearance, and local courier services.

Customs, Duties & Taxes

International orders may be subject to:

Import duties  
Customs fees  
Local taxes

These charges are not included in your order total and must be paid by the customer.

We have no control over these charges and cannot estimate them.
