Delivery - UK and International

We deliver to most countries not currently in a conflict zone, all from our own warehouse in Cornwall, UK 

Delivery Costs

The cost varies depending on the size and combination of items and the destination. To find the delivery cost, please add to your basket, go to checkout, enter the destination country and post code.

Dispatch

In brief

• We dispatch all weekday orders placed by 2 pm with "express delivery" on the same weekday (if the item is in stock, as detailed at checkout)
• We always do our best to dispatch later "express" orders on the same day too but our couriers pick up between 2:30 and 3:30 so orders after 2 pm are likely to be dispatched the following working day
• Orders with "Royal Mail Tracked" type deliveries will also be dispatched as soon as possible but may take an extra day 
• Orders with Free or Economy delivery will be dispatched within 2-3 days (usually sooner) but in a busy period other delivery methods take priority (see below for more info).

Weekends

In light of the above, if you order on a Friday afternoon after 2 pm, or on a Saturday or Sunday please don't expect your order to be delivered on that Saturday, Sunday or Monday because we won't even have looked at it until Monday morning! If you need it that weekend please contact us by phone or live chat and we will do our best to break the rules.

If an item is out of stock our website will tell you before you order it.  If part of your order is out of stock at the time you order it we will usually hold all the items in the order for you until everything is available, then send it all together. Please advise us if you wish us to rush part of your order to you, and please note that this may incur an additional delivery charge.

We keep stock at more than one location so occasionally you may receive your order in more than one consignment.

Delivery Methods

We use Royal Mail Tracked services (1st and 2nd Class) and DPD Local for express consignments.  DPD Local is an excellent premium service is very reliable and generally does a fantastic job: if you choose an Express delivery method they will text/email you, predicting in which hour they will arrive so you don't have to wait in all day.  You can also track the vehicle so that the expected delivery time can be narrowed down to about 15 minutes accuracy. It's great value for money and well worth paying for!  Depending on circumstances we may occasionally use other carriers.

Highlands and Islands

Please note that some more distant destinations in the UK are not served by some carriers and some parcels are too big to go by Royal Mail. Therefore such places (e.g. Inverness) do not benefit from the same low delivery rates as for instance Edinburgh or Aberdeen. We are very sorry about this and as soon as we can get more competitive rates to these destinations we will! The upside, of course, is that you do live in a really lovely part of the country!

International Delivery

Orders going overseas are usually dispatched within the same time frame as UK delivery but more far-flung destinations may take an extra day or two.  We use various carriers depending on the parcel size, destination and time of year. All methods have varying levels of tracking. Typical journey times are: France, Netherlands, Germany 1-3 days; Spain 3-5 days; Eastern Europe 3-6 days; USA and Canada, Australia 3-5 days. 

Detailed Delivery Policy

Items sent by courier must be signed for on delivery at their destination. If you choose to have your parcel left in a specified "safe" place or with a neighbour you are responsible for it from the time it is left in the specified place.  Delivery by DPD Local is by 7 pm the following working day after dispatch for most of the UK, but offshore and the more remote parts of Scotland (and Inverness) as well as Northern Ireland it will take at an extra working day. 

Orders with Free Delivery

Occasionally we may offer Free Delivery promotions.  If we are offering such a promotion it will be clearly visible at the "Estimated Delivery" section on the Basket Page, on the Checkout Page and also on other areas on the website e.g near the top of each page. The same offer may not be available for telephone or mail orders (as we do not have sufficient staff to handle high levels of telephone orders).  An example promotion to specified destinations would be "Free UK Delivery for orders over £x".  Free Delivery will be the lowest cost delivery method and could be by "Royal Mail Tracked 2nd Class" or by any other courier, depending on the size and value of the package and may need to be signed for upon receipt. Provided all the items are in stock we aim to dispatch Free Delivery orders as above, but orders with a paid for delivery method always receive priority, so, although they are usually dispatched on the same working day of order, they will be dispatched within 3 working days of order at the latest.  If an order is out of stock when you order using Free Delivery we will honor the free delivery promise even if we dispatch the order after the free delivery promotion ends.

PLEASE NOTE: higher value/weight items may be sent at our discretion using a courier for a next working day delivery. Unless you can specify a dry safe place to leave it the package will need to be signed for at the point of delivery. This means that under normal circumstances if you order in the morning for a destination on the UK mainland and if the item is in stock you will receive your order the following business day, except for "Highlands and Islands" (remoter parts of Scotland and Northern Ireland may be subject to a 2 day delivery from our courier. (Most items are usually in stock.)

Our usual courier Interlink Express does not normally deliver on Saturdays. If you require a Saturday delivery please specify this at checkout. There is a small premium for this service. Our courier does not deliver on Sundays or Public Holidays.

ITEMS LOST OR DELAYED IN POST

If you have ordered using express courier please use the tracking link we have sent you to track your parcel and if the package is delayed or lost please contact us with your order number.  For Economy, standard delivery and Free Delivery we use Royal Mail's Tracked 48 Service where possible. Parcels are tracked door to door and the majority of our orders (95%) are received within two to three days of dispatch. Please use the tracking link we sent you to track your parcel and ensure the address is correct.  If you still haven’t received your order after 5 working days, please contact us and we will do our best to help out. It is also worth speaking to your local Royal Mail sorting or delivery office, as usually delayed items are actually in the local delivery office. ready for collection.  

INTERNATIONAL DELIVERY

We deliver to most countries that are not currently in a conflict zone.  To find the cost please put items in your basket and then enter the delivery address. You will then see the delivery options and costs.  Most orders will usually need to be signed for.

Due to the vagaries of international mail and the cost of guaranteed deadline services we currently do not offer a guaranteed express delivery for items over 5kg, however, our standard delivery usually gets to its destination within 2-4 days for Europe and 4-8 days for rest of the world.  Please note that we are not responsible for fees, charges, duties, tax or other costs applied by customs or other authorities in foreign countries.

Items are returned at your own risk so please pack them carefully. Items are returned at your expense unless they are faulty. We recommend items sent to us are sent via an insured/secure delivery method and that you at least obtain a certificate of posting because we are not responsible for them until they arrive safely with us.  If all the items in an order are Faulty we will refund the delivery cost to you and can also reimburse you for the reasonable cost of posting back to us if within the UK but if you wish to be refunded postage for a Faulty item you must include a receipt for the postage cost we cannot refund postage costs without a receipt.

Please note if the colour etc is wrong and you can see without opening it that you won't want the product then please don't remove it from its packaging! Items are easily marked and pick up hair or other fluff which can prevent them from being saleable as new.  If we cannot sell it as "new" we won't be able to give you a refund.  For the same reason please take care that you have checked that you have ordered the correct size before you unwrap the item: please check the ordered item dimensions carefully before unwrapping too.

Faulty Item?

All items that we dispatch have been through rigorous quality control checks conducted by our reputable and carefully selected manufacturers as well as by us. Nevertheless, on rare occasions, an item may be sent out that is faulty. In these circumstances, we will replace the item or at our discretion provide a refund of the purchase cost and any reasonable domestic postage cost. Please contact us as soon as you discover a fault and please see our full Terms and Conditions before you return an item as "Faulty". Please ensure that any item returned to us as “Faulty” is well folded and is carefully packaged, appropriate to its value, size, and weight to protect it from the damage in the post. We cannot accept an item that has been damaged in the post due to poor packaging. 

Refunds can only be credited to the same payment card the order was placed with. If we are refunding postage costs incurred sending an item back to us we will have to send you a cheque or give you store credit if you prefer. It is not possible to refund more than the original transaction back onto the original payment method.

This does not affect your statutory rights.
