* Product exceptions apply to this band.

Where this applies the carriage cost will be confirmed at the checkout. Typical examples would include door thresholds, letter cages, flammable liquids etc.
UK MAINLAND (excluding remote areas)
Any free delivery offers advertised on our site will be confirmed during checkout and may vary from time to time. Where delivery is chargeable there will be a £4.98 or £5.99 carriage charge which will be confirmed on screen before your order is processed. We aim to offer weekday overnight delivery on orders placed before 12:00 noon, but please allow 3 working days. If your order is particularly urgent please contact us first to discuss availability and delivery options. Where delivery is not available on a particular item within this time frame you will be informed, and an alternative estimated time for delivery will be advised. We will assume any advised delivery time is acceptable unless we hear from you, but may ask you to confirm your acceptance of this in the case of long delays or specially manufactured items. To offer maximum convenience for our UK home and business customers we use either Royal Mail services or alternatively a home/business delivery courier service. Our couriers will normally provide notifications and a delivery window by email or text message. Where a delivery notification is provided you will be able to email or text the courier to change the delivery if necessary as advised in the notification.
Where premium delivery services are requested at extra cost, it is the customer’s responsibility to be available to receive the parcel as agreed or redelivery charges will apply. The extra cost for these services will not be refunded should an order be subsequently cancelled for any reason.
UK OFFSHORE and REMOTE AREAS (including Scottish Highlands, IOM and Northern Ireland)
Free delivery offers advertised on our site will be confirmed during checkout and may vary from time to time. Where delivery is chargeable there will be a £4.98 or £8.99 carriage charge. Delivery to Scottish Highlands, Isle of Man, Northern Ireland and Scottish Isles can take up to 3 working days from dispatch.
Overseas (including EU)
Orders from overseas are welcome and the cost to most European destinations will be confirmed on screen as you place your order. Where an on screen price is not possible for worldwide destinations or the consignment is exceptionally heavy or long, delivery charges will be advised by email for your approval before an order is processed. Products delivered may be subject to customs clearance fees, import duties and taxes levied in the destination country (this now includes EU destinations). You will be responsible for payment of any such import duties and taxes of which we have no control and cannot predict their amount. Local customs offices will generally advise on this.
