The Post Office aims to deliver first class mail within 1-2 working days of dispatch and the vast majority are delivered within this time frame. But delays do happen, so it is always advisable to order in good time if your order is for a special occasion. If this is not possible and you are worried about your order arriving in time we suggest you choose the Royal Mail Special Delivery option at checkout. Special Delivery parcels are guaranteed to be delivered next day and will go to the front of our orders.The Royal Mail Special Delivery option guarantees next working day delivery. Most UK orders, except small, inexpensive parcels, will be sent Royal Mail First Class delivery and may need to be signed for. If you are not in then a card will be left and the parcel can be collected from your Post Office or call the number on www.royalmail.com to arrange for your parcel to be redelivered.

If your parcel is not collected the Royal Mail will return it to us. It can be redelivered but you will be charged for the cost of re-posting. If any ordered items are temporarily out of stock and on order and a delay is expected you will be advised and offered the alternative of a refund if you would prefer not to wait. International buyers can expect extended delivery times subject to location and postal service selected.
