Shipping Policy
* How long does delivery take?
I endeavour to process each and every order as quickly as possible.
Most orders are despatched within 1-2 days. UK deliveries should take no more than 3 to 5 working days. However, we ask that you allow up to 14 days for the items to arrive.
​
* Is it free Delivery?
Mainland UK delivery is inclusive in the price you see on the website.
​
Worldwide Shipping
Overseas delivery is possible and charges are calculated by the country destination and overall weight/size of your order at the time of checkout. European delivery starts at £10 and the rest of the World starts at £20. Orders overseas are sent using International tracked & Signed for service or similar.
Delivery to destinations outside of the UK may be subject to import taxes, depending on the weight, size and value of your order.
​
As of 2021, there is often a lot of customs forms we have to complete for International shipments, especially to the EU, so the cost of shipping some-what reflects this.
​
All shipments are declared at the true value, and we will always try to include the following customs information:
- Valid HS Tariff Code/s
- Item Description
- Country of origin (mainly UK)
- Items values
- Value of Postage Paid
- Senders Name & Address
- Your Delivery Name & Address
- Parcel Weight
​
Should the shipping costs you pay to be overly excessive to what the actual costs are, we may refund a percentage of the shipping costs back to you on request.
​
Can I track my order?
Most UK parcels are sent with Royal Mail and may not be 'trackable'. We'll usually email you a tracking number once your order is posted and you can view this information on royalmail.com.
​
Returns & Exchange Policy​
30 Days Statutory Refund Policy - You simply pay the cost of returning the item and cost of delivery to you.
What does the warranty cover?
I offer a 3 month warranty* (on all items purchased on or after 14th Nov 2015) on all items. The warranty* does not cover physical damage, water damage, or any damage caused by modifying the item in any way, and only covers faults arising in the course of normal use.
