2021 update:

Brexit and International orders
Note: International shipments are currently experiencing some delays relating to additional Customs requirements & the continued congestion at the ports. Please be patient. As a company we have all the paperwork & processes in place to enable us to ship worldwide.

UK VAT
Since Jan 2021 UK VAT is no longer applicable on orders being sent outside the United Kingdom.
The VAT will therefore automatically be removed from your order when the address details are entered during the checkout on our website.

International Shipping Prices
Our courier shipping prices are changing all the time, so please be aware your delivery charge may change once your order has been accepted, packaged and weighed. We will contact you if the price you have paid is not correct.

Duties & Taxes
Please note: Local taxes, import duties and customs clearance fees will usually be applicable when the goods arrive in your destination country, these fees are on top of the delivery charge you pay via our website. 
Please note that you, as the customer will be responsible for any duties and taxes that may need to be paid.
You will normally be contacted by the freight forwarder or couriers when the goods land in your country & you may have pay fees immediately for them to release the goods from customs.

Chemicals - International
Unfortunately, we cannot ship chemicals internationally. 
Any international chemical orders received will automatically be refunded.
This does not affect UK orders.

Delivery FAQ

1.     Can I send an order to more than one address? 

To send orders to multiple addresses you will need to place separate orders.

2.     What happens if I'm out when you deliver?

If your order has been shipped by courier (most orders over 1.5kg in weight go by courier as standard) you will receive an email or text advising you of your delivery window the following day. If the allocated time slot is not convenient for you then you may follow the instructions in the email/text to contact the courier directly to rearrange.

If you are out when our courier tries to deliver then the driver will usually try a neighbour, or if you have left instructions to leave the parcel unsigned for, then they will try to find a safe and secure place to leave your parcel. If they cannot find a safe place, your parcel will be returned to the depot. Our couriers will automatically try to re-deliver your parcel the following day.

If they are unable to deliver again, they will leave you a card explaining where your parcel is and what to do next.

If your order has been shipped by Royal Mail & you are not in, then they will usually try a neighbour or find a safe place to leave the package (depending on your delivery instructions). If they are unable to deliver, they will take your parcel to the local sorting office for you to collect. You will need to take ID with you to collect your parcel from the Royal Mail. If you don't want your parcel to be left with a neighbour, then please leave a note in the special delivery instructions area at checkout.

Royal Mail will leave a card at your address explaining what to do next if your order requires a signature.

3.     Can I specify a day or time for delivery?

Sometimes yes (if you call us first to arrange), however if you select Express Delivery then your order will automatically go by courier on a next working day service. You will then receive an email or text notification advising you of your allotted delivery window the following day. If this is not a convenient time, then it's easy to re-arrange your delivery by following the instructions in the email or text.

This type of delivery notification is not available for small orders that are sent by Royal Mail so if you require this email service then please either select Express delivery or contact us to check what delivery method we plan to use for your order. Most heavier items go by courier as standard, but it’s not guaranteed.

If you would like a specific day or a timed (before 1pm) delivery service then please contact customer services on 01326 371488 to see if it is available for your order and we will be able to give you a quote.

If you put a note with your order we will try our best to arrange for your parcel to be delivered on a certain day, although we cannot guarantee it.

If you have special delivery requirements, or would like to add a note for the courier (for example, “if out leave with neighbour”), you can do this during the checkout process. (Note: anything you include in this note will be displayed on the front of the parcel).
