Click and Collect from store – Free

International Orders – Please contact us for shipping costs if none appear on the checkout when ordering, currently we have had to suspend orders to the EU and apologise for any inconvenience.

Royal Mail International:

Most international orders are sent via Royal Mail. The maximum permitted weight per package is 2kg (including packaging), so if your order weighs more than 2kg, you will be charged for two packages. If your order weighs more than 4kg, you will be charged for three packages, and so on. Packaging adds around 10% to the weight of the goods, so please allow for this when calculating the weight of your package. We do not make a profit from our postage charges – they simply reflect what Royal Mail charge us. Orders are usually delivered within 7-14 working days, though can sometimes take longer. Regrettably, we have no control over how long the international postal system will take to deliver your order.  Please note that Royal Mail International packages do have tracking numbers as we use an International Tracked service.

International Courier:

We are able to offer an International Courier option for certain countries. The maximum permitted weight per package is 10kg (including packaging). Packages sent via International Courier generally arrive within 3-5 working days, and do have tracking numbers.

International Orders – Delivery Schedule

International orders are usually delivered within 10-14 working days, though can sometimes take longer. Regrettably, we have no control over how long the international postal system will take to deliver your order. Please note that there has recently been an increase in customs and security checks for orders arriving by air to the USA and Canada, which means that North American orders are sometimes taking a number of weeks to be delivered.

International Orders – Currency

All prices on our website are in Pounds Sterling. When placing an order for delivery outside of the UK, you will be charged in Pounds Sterling, and your credit card company or bank will convert the amount into your local currency (e.g. Euros, Dollars, etc). For an idea of the cost in your local currency, try the XE Currency Converter. (Please be aware that the amount you are charged by your bank or credit card company will not exactly match the amount shown by the converter; use this tool as a guide only.)

International Orders – Import Duties and Taxes

You may have to pay import duties and taxes, which are levied once a package reaches your country. Any local duties, taxes or customs charges assessed by your government are your responsibility. You must meet any additional charges for customs clearance. Please note, customs policies vary widely from country to country. Charges for customs clearance and import duties must be borne by you; we have absolutely no control over these charges and cannot predict what they may be. We recommend you contact your local customs office for further information prior to placing your order. Please also note, international shipments may be subject to cross-border inspections by customs authorities.
