Your order will be delivered depending on its size/weight either by Royal Mail or by courier delivery Monday to Friday. To ensure you have received your parcel, couriers may request a signature for proof of delivery; therefore choose a delivery address which is most convenient for you.
Subject to availability, orders received with a cleared payment in full before 2pm will usually be despatched the same day (Monday - Friday); orders received after 2pm will be despatched the next working day, excluding personalised items - (see notes above).
All orders are packed in boxes and packaging sized so your items are well-protected and special care is taken to protect fragile objects.

We will notify you if there is a delay in processing your order. Orders over the quantity held in stock will usually be despatched in 7-10 days, and if known at the time of ordering, this will be shown on the item details page. We may also at our discretion, hold your order, if some items are out of stock, but we are expecting further stock to be available within the next 5-7 days.
NOTE: Personalised products are made to order. For these items please allow 2-3 working days for production depending on the method of production. The product details page will give estimated delivery times for the item.
