1. This first part is very important for you as the customer, Shipping is per order,not per item So if you're not sure what this means, read on........ If you are ordering multiple items from this site for delivery to one address, you only need to add shipping to one item. This should be the highest Shipping option thought applicable to any one item included within the order. (eg: It is probably better to select the "UK Special delivery" option where the order is destined for UK delivery and contains a high value item).
For subsequent items added to the order, you may then select the shipping option "Shipping already added to order." However, please also note that should you fail to add any shipping costs to your order, or the selection is not appropriate to the destination (eg selecting UK rate for an international destination), it will not be processed until the matter is rectified.
2. you are responsible for selecting the shipping method for your order, and we will send your order using the option selected by you. However, we will not be responsible for the consequences of selecting a method with an insufficient level of compensation.
3. Recorded delivery is an optional service that costs extra and must be chosen when making your order. Orders with Recorded delivery receive a tracking number which may be obtained by you at any time. Should the order go missing then we will attempt to claim compensation on your behalf up to the relevant compensation value. If you require extra insurance, then Special Delivery must be purchased at the time of making your order which can cover orders up to £500.
4. Delivery times vary depending on what time the order reaches us and the next available posting date. We aim to arrange dispatch of all orders within 1 working day, and you should receive the order no later than 5 working days no matter which delivery option you chose. For deliveries outside the UK please add 5-8 working days.
5. If products are returned to us as undeliverable they will be subject to an additional charge before being re-shipped. Alternatively, we may refund you the cost of the products minus the delivery charge and 15% administration fee.
