Exclusions.
Yes, there will be many, if you live in a remote area, Highlands and Islands of Scotland, Jersey, Guernsey, IOM, Scilly Isle etc then you’re not going to get a 24 hour service, sorry. We don’t have any magical shipping deals that are any different to anyone else’s. We’re pretty sure that if you live off the beaten path then you’ll be used to your mail being a little late, you can’t have everything!

Royal Mail
You may also see a “Pallet Rate” available for larger orders to the UK. We offer this as an alternative to multiple packages as it can work out cheaper to send a pallet.
This is an “Economy” pallet service and delivery would usually be 3-5 days from collection. Please allow one week from ordering for collection as at busy times especially we cant always get the pallet packed and collected quickly.
If you are in a rush let us know and we’ll do everything we can!
