Shipping Destinations
  • United Kingdom Only
With effect from 30th June 2021 we are unable to process orders from outside the UK.
A triple whammy of the Brexit disaster, new EU IOSS VAT rules and increasingly crippling international shipping price hikes have sadly made trading with customers outside of the UK unviable.

We aim to ship your goods to UK destinations within two working days of receiving cleared payment. 
Placing your order through the Paypal Checkout

Click the 'Add to Cart' button which will take you to our dedicated secure Paypal payment section.

Purchase and Shipping confirmation
  • Your payment will be acknowledged by email along with a delivery address confirmation and a shipping date advised.
  • Once posted you will be sent a shipping confirmation.

Shipping to an address other than your own

We are happy to deliver to someone else if you wish. When you get to the Paypal checkout page under delivery details simply fill out the address you would like your order sent to as well as your own billing address. Unfortunately we cannot currently deliver to more than one address per order.

We can also include a special gift message at no extra cost. Use our contact form to tell us what you want us to print on the delivery note.

We cannot accept responsibility or be held liable for delays in delivery due to third party services and carriers.
