We accept payment by Visa, Mastercard, Delta, Maestro or Paypal

Delivery:

We aim to dispatch all orders within 1 working day. (Our business hours are 10am - 6pm Monday-Saturday, 12-5pm on Sunday). In the event an item is out of stock we will contact you to advise of any delays or offer an alternative. Smaller items are dispatched by Royal Mail Postal services. Larger items will be dispatched by one of our couriers - Parcelforce & UKMail and are fully insured whilst in transit. Overseas deliveries will be sent by Interlink/DPD. Please ensure you check the items thoroughly before signing for them - if the items are damaged on delivery, please ensure you sign for them as ' damaged'. Goods ordered over the internet may be available to collect from our store however this must be arranged prior to ordering.

Our couriers - Parcelforce, UKMail and Interlink - only deliver between Monday - Friday, 8am - 6pm. They are unable to specify a time of delivery and do not deliver at the weekend. If there is no-one available to receive the goods then a card will be left with the local depot details for you to contact them to arrange a suitable delivery date. They will then hold the goods awaiting your response. Once you have contacted them and they have made a second delivery attempt, if there is still no-one available to receive the goods then you will be required to uplift the goods yourself from their local depot or pay a further charge to have the goods re-delivered. We require a signature upon delivery of the goods. Our courier CANNOT leave the goods without a signature. If they are not collected, they will be returned to our warehouse and you will be credited for the cost of the goods - NOT the shipping charges.

Delivery charges will be calculated at checkout based on your delivery location.  Mainland UK deliveries which total more than £100 will be delivered free of charge.
