Please Note for all Deliveries:

 

For most orders, a signature shall be required upon receipt of goods.

 

A telephone number is required at the checkout stage. This is useful if there is a problem with your order or delivery. It may be used by either ourselves if we need to contact you about your order, or by the delivery company if they need to get in touch with you with regard to delivering your parcel. See our Privacy Policy.

 

 

Standard Delivery:  We aim to dispatch orders within 1 – 2 working days (or earlier if we can), stock permitting.

 

All orders are subject to stock availability.

 

We endeavour to hold good stock levels and can fulfil the vast majority of orders straight away. However, because the type of items we sell are generally not mass-produced, and are often hand-made or hand-finished, some of our items may have a longer delivery time.  If this is the case, information about the approximate delivery time will be indicated in the product details if it is expected to be longer than normal.

 

If an item is out of stock, it should be indicated as such on the website, but occassionaly an item may become out of stock before the website is updated. If an item is temporarily out of stock, it may therefore take a little longer to deliver.  If an item you have ordered is temporarily unavailable, we shall attempt to notify you of any delay and let you know when it is expected to arrive. Should you wish to amend or cancel your order because an item is out of stock, then we will be happy to sort this out for you. Otherwise, we shall dispatch your item to you as soon as it arrives in stock.

 

Express Delivery - Should you need your order urgently, then please call Customer Services on 01480 819180 or 07831 770515 for details and prices of our express delivery options. Depending on the time of the order and stock availability, we can advise whether next day delivery would be possible and let you know how much it would be.
