Shipping Terms

At our discretion, where an enhanced service is available within the authorised cost of shipping, that service may be used. Shipping on heavier items will be quoted before despatch.
NOTE: the 'expected delivery' speeds quoted are likely to be extended during periods of heavy volume of mail, such as Christmas, or local adverse weather conditions.

Domestic UK shipping will generally by by Royal Mail's 2nd class Signed-for service and shipping within Europe by Royal Mail's International Standard (Airmail).

Outside Europe the cheaper shipping option is always by Royal Mail's International Economy (Surface Mail) which can have a VERY extended delivery period. Please do NOT select this method if you need delivery within days rather than weeks or months. The faster airmail shipping method will be by Royal Mail's International Standard service and for more valuable items will be International Tracked.
