Delivery & Returns

We aim to deliver any UK Mainland orders for stock items as soon as possible - usually within 2-3 working days. Next-day express delivery, Saturday delivery and delivery before a certain time are also options at checkout.

We indicate a typical delivery time for out-of-stock items for UK mainland delivery, however if this will be different we will notify you as soon as possible after receiving your order.

We use a combination of DPD Local, DHL, Royal Mail and UPS to deliver your order. All delivery methods are recorded and trackable for extra security.

Specialist, personalised or made to measure items will be made to order, as will items in your personalised colour schemes. We aim to complete these items as soon as possible, so please contact us on placing your order to be advised of the estimated delivery date.

The cost of your delivery will be indicated when placing your order.

We aim to deliver any UK Offshore orders for stock items on a two- or three-day delivery service, depending on the exact postcode and courier service available. The cost of your delivery will be indicated during the checkout process. 

CUSTOMS & DUTIES

As the buyer, you are responsible for any duty, VAT, taxes, handling fees or customs clearance charges etc that are required by your country for importing consumer goods.

We are unable to collect this beforehand, and cannot give you an estimate of cost as charges vary around the world. It is generally procedure that the delivery company will contact you for payment before delivering your goods, although this may vary with different couriers and countries.

We recommend that international customers do prior research to ensure that there are no surprise charges when clearing your delivery through customs, and so you have an idea of what the additional cost may be.

Please contact your local postal or customs office for more information if you are unfamiliar with customs fees and charges.

It is your full responsibility to verify the duties and customs charges and procedures in your country before placing your order. You are responsible for complying with international, national or local laws regulating the importation of products that you may purchase.

If you refuse to pay customs fees and charges at the time of delivery, your order will be returned to us and we will be unable to issue a refund for the shipment costs.

DELIVERY & TRACKING

We use DHL for international express shipping, with fully trackable and flexible services for extra security.
