FAQ

Delivery
 
When will my order be dispatched?
As soon as all available items have come into stock. This will vary depending on the size of your order and whether or not you have ordered any import "(IMP)" items. When in stock, items are usually dispatched within 48 hours. If any items are out of stock then we will attempt to re-order these from our suppliers, a process which can take 5-7 working days. Any item marked "(IMP)" is an imported item and if we are out of stock, it may take up to 4 weeks to obtain additional stock of this item, however, imports usually arrive into stock within 7 working days.

When will I know my order has been dispatched?
Please keep an eye on your order's status, from within your account, for it changing from “processing” to “complete”. As soon as your order is marked as "complete" then it has been despatched from our warehouse.

 
Can I track the delivery of my order?
Yes, go to "My Account", navigate to the relevant order and click "Details". Here you can view your order's tracking number and use the "Track" link which will take you to the courier's website where you will be able to obtain proof of delivery once your order has been delivered. You will also be sent an automated email once your order has been despatched which will also include your order's tracking details.
 
I have not received my order yet.
Royal Mail state that we have to allow 10 working days to elapse from the day of expected delivery before we are able to claim a parcel is lost. Please contact us if you do not receive your item (s) after this time so we can help to retrieve your goods. In the very rare event that Royal Mail lose your item (s), we will despatch a replacement order to you. Alternatively, you can request a refund.
