Delivery costs:

Shipping costs have escalated due to increased fuel prices and carrier reluctance to handle parcels over 1.2m by applying large surcharges, we endeavour to obtain the best rates and only seek to recover carriage costs from customers. To check carriage costs for your order, use the SHIPPING CALCULATOR when viewing your shopping cart.

Items sent by post will be delivered subject to normal postal terms with a maximum of 3-5 days.

Items via courier will be dispatched on the next working day at latest unless otherwise agreed with the customer. Goods to be sent by courier, ordered on Friday afternoon, will not be despatched until the following Monday (Tuesday if there is a Public Holiday).

Carriage is specified for all orders at checkout time except to a few countries. Some items cannot be sent to Non-UK destinations without first obtaining a shipping quotation, payment will not be taken until customer approval for the total supply and shipping costs are agreed.

Return carriage costs are customer responsibility unless goods do not conform to specifications as ordered or are faulty.
