Processing of orders

Delivery/Title

1. Goods will be sent to the address given by you in your order and stated in the Order Confimation. Please note that your goods may be sent to you in installments.

3. The period stated within which you will receive your order is approximate. Delivery estimates provided are not a guarantee of delivery time.
4. Next Day Delivery Services are guaranteed in so far as delivery cost (difference between Next Day and Standard charge) will be refunded if the delivery date (Monday to Friday) is not met*. Although we do aim to deliver to residential addresses on Saturdays this is not covered by the Next Day guarantee.
   *Next day services are only guaranteed for mainland Britain, excluding Scottish Highlands. Next Day delivery to all other areas of the UK may take up to 48 hours and should be allowed for when ordering. A full breakdown of outlying regions and expected delivery times are detailed on our delivery page.
   *When sending an order to a hospital, business/work address, halls of residence or other organisation the guarantee covers delivery to the organisation only (Monday-Friday standard working days only), and does not include internal mail systems that may add further time to reach the intended recipient.

Christmas Day, Easter, St Valentine's Day, Mothering Sunday and other occasional events experience greater order numbers so it is a good idea to place your order at least a week before such an event. We cannot guarantee delivery of goods placed less than a week before such a special occasion/day.
