Royal Mail: Next day Royal Mail delivery is only available to Mainland UK for orders placed prior to the specified cut-off time. If you live in areas of the United Kingdom such as the Highlands, Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands please expect the usual delays. Royal mail will send you an update either via email or text message when your parcel is out for delivery and include your tracking number, (if you enter a mobile at the time of your order, this will be defaulted as preferred method, please let us know otherwise).
UPS or TNT Next Day Delivery: Only available to Mainland UK for orders placed prior to the specified cut off time. Not available to the Highlands, Northern Ireland or the Channel Islands.
Important: Please enter a telephone number if you chose courier delivery. If no telephone number is given your order will be sent via another delivery method where a telephone number is not required.
Changes to Royal Mail next day delivery speed standards to Jersey (JE) ONLY.
From 7 August 2023, Royal Mail has updated the delivery speed exclusions in their Terms and Conditions for Parcel and Letter services to include JE postcodes (JE1-4).
The following products will be impacted:
Special Delivery Guaranteed
Royal Mail 24
First Class (Account)
Advertising Mail
Partially Addressed
Business Mail
Subscription Mail
For the avoidance of doubt this means for Special Delivery Guaranteed there will no longer be a next day guaranteed service to JE postcodes (JE1-4).
All parcels will take a minimum of 2 days to arrive following the application of order cut off time.
INTERNATIONAL SHIPPING
WE SHIP TO IRELAND with taxes included
We have partnered with Royal Mail to send parcels via DDP (Delivered Duties Paid) to Ireland. This service allows us to calculate and collect at the checkout VAT at the local rate of 23%. This will help to avoid unexpected charges and delivery delays to the recipient, improving the overall customer experience. Please note that the maximum amount allowed for this service is currently £130 inclusive of VAT. If you wish to place an order over £130 please contact our Customer Service and they'll guide you to choose the most cost effective method as duties are also charged on orders over this amount.

If your country is not listed at checkout unfortunately we cannot ship to that destination at present.
