1. General
Subject to stock availability. We try to maintain accurate stock counts on our website but from time to time there may be a stock discrepancy and we will not be able to fulfil all your items at time of purchase. In this instance, we will fulfil the available products to you, and contact you about whether you would prefer to await restocking of the back-ordered item or if you would prefer for us to process a refund.

2. Shipping costs
Shipping costs are calculated during checkout based on weight, dimensions and destination of the items in the order. Payment for shipping will be collected with the purchase. This price will be the final price for the shipping cost to the customer.

3. Delivery terms
3.1 Transit time (Domestic orders)
Shipping times take approximately 3 to 5 working days after the day of dispatch (but are often much quicker). We use different couriers depending on the weight, size and destination of the parcel. Some of our suppliers are taking long to deliver than usual due to COVID restrictions.

3.2 Transit time (International orders)
International shipping times vary based on the destination. If you require an estimated shipping time for your order, please contact us via email with details of your order and the destination for further information.

3.3 Warehouse dispatch
We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours of the order being placed. Our warehouse operates Monday to Friday during standard business hours, except on national holidays at which time the warehouse will be closed. In these instances, we take steps to ensure shipment delays will be kept to a minimum.

3.4 Change of delivery address
To change the delivery address, we are usually able to change it up to 6 hours before the order is due to be dispatched, but this can sometimes cause short delays in delivery.

3.5 Items out of stock
If an item is out of stock, we will wait for the item to be available before dispatching your order. Existing items in the order will be reserved while we await this item.

3.6 Delivery time exceeded
If the delivery time has exceeded the forecasted time, please contact us so that we can conduct an investigation.

4. Tracking notifications
Upon dispatch, customers will receive a tracking link from which they will be able to follow the progress of their shipment based on the latest updates made available by the shipping provider.
