Delivery
For UK mainland standard delivery orders are delivered within 5 working weekdays. Express UK mainland orders are delivered the next working weekday if ordered before 12 noon and economy UK mainland orders are delivered in up to 7 working weekdays depending on order volumes. The transit time of parcels to you will depend on your delivery destination. UK mainland express delivery items are delivered using a next working weekday service. If you require an item for a specific date or event we recommend that you contact us for more information and to discuss your requirements. We cannot guarantee delivery by a specific date unless you discuss your requirements with us.
Our orders are despatched using Parcelforce Worldwide or Royal Mail. The choice of courier we use is determined by a number of factors including the weight and destination of your parcel. Our website will automatically select the most appropriate service for your order. On despatch of your order if you have provided a valid email address we will automatically email you with a parcel tracking number which you can use to track the progress of your parcel online.
All parcels require a signature on delivery, so it is important that you specify a delivery address where there will be someone available to sign for the parcel. If you are out when delivery is attempted the courier will usually leave you a card and in the case of Parcelforce they may attempt redelivery the following working weekday, deliver the parcel to your local Post Office or return it to their depot awaiting your further instructions. Royal Mail parcels will be returned to the delivery office to await your further instructions, delivery will not be reattempted. If in doubt we recommend you track your parcel online in the first instance before contacting us as the majority of ‘missing’ parcels are either found at the local Post Office or with a neighbour. Please also check with neighbours and around your property, behind bins, in outhouses, greenhouses, etc. where a parcel may have been left.
For your peace of mind and security by default all parcels are insured and despatched using services which require a signature on delivery. If you request that your parcel is left without a signature it is done so at your risk. We will not replace missing parcels under these circumstances.
Yes you may specify an alternative delivery address, but this may be subject to further security checks. Your billing address MUST be the address to which your card is registered. Please be aware that if you attempt to use a billing address that is not registered to the card then funds may be reserved in your account, but we will reject your order. Please only place orders using the correct billing address details, we will not be held liable for any attempts to use incorrect details, which may result in numerous reservations of funds on your account. Reserved funds are reserved by your bank in anticipation of your order being accepted, in the event that you use the incorrect details funds will still be reserved but we will not accept your order and cannot release the reserved funds. Reserved funds generally expire within 10 banking days, depending on the card issuer concerned.

Please pay particular attention to the first line of the address and the postal code, ensuring they are correct. Please ensure the correct card type is selected and that you card is authorised for online use. In some instances we may decline to deliver your order to an address other than your registered billing address. If you are using a card issued in a different country you may experience difficulties, please contact your card issuer for further assistance. If you attempt to order with an incorrect billing address your bank may reserve funds on your account but we will not be able to accept your order.

Please ensure you use the correct card billing address.
3D Secure stands for Three Domain Secure – the payment industry’s internet authentication standard which has been developed by the major card schemes. Visa has called their version of the scheme ‘Verified by Visa’ and MasterCard have called their equivalent initiative ‘MasterCard SecureCode’. These are both collectively referred to as 3D Secure.
3D Secure authentication requires the cardholder to register their card to take advantage of this service. This is a onetime process which takes place on the card issuer’s website and involves the cardholder answering several security questions to which only the card issuer and cardholder will know the answer. The cardholder selects a password and agrees on a secret phrase, which will be used by the card issuer during each online transaction.
3D Secure can be thought of as an online version of ‘Chip and Pin’ technology, whereby the cardholder has a personalised password registered with their card that is entered during the checkout process.
When you have entered your card details in our payment page, if supported by your card issuer, you will be either asked to enter your 3D secure password, or if not registered you will be offered the opportunity to register. If you do not enter the correct 3D secure information your payment will be declined.
