Frequently Asked Questions
1) What are your opening hours?
We are open between 09:00 and 17:00.
2) When will I receive my order?
Any orders placed before 12 noon will be posted that day, Mon - Thurs. Any orders placed later than 12 noon will be posted on the next working day. If you place an order after 12 noon on a Thursday, it will be posted on the following Monday (unless this is a bank holiday, in which case your order will be posted on the Tuesday).
Standard UK delivery typically takes 2-3 working days. If you place your order before 12 noon and need it for the following day, we offer a Next Day delivery service at an extra cost.
3) Can I leave a note on my order requesting my package be left in the garage or shed?
Unfortunately not. A lot of our products are high value items and we have had many deliveries go missing, or customers claim to have not received their packages which means we have to issue replacements at a cost to us. As a result of this, all of our orders require a signature. If you are not at home when the package arrives then the postman will leave a delivery card and you can collect it from your local sorting office.
We are happy to send your order to an alternative delivery address if you wish to have it delivered to work or another family member.
3) Do you ship internationally?
Yes. We offer European and Worldwide Delivery services. Please allow 1-2 weeks for delivery to Europe, and 2-3 weeks for Worldwide.
