    Delivery Information and Timescales

    We work hard to bring you the best possible products and prices. Keeping the delivery costs as low as possible is part of that process.

    • Most items are kept in stock and ready to ship from our warehouse in Devon, England. When you place an order before 2pm on working weekdays, we try to ship same day
    • On the rare occasion that goods are not in stock, we will always contact you to advise you that an item is not in stock and to ask if you are happy to wait for delivery of the out-of-stock item or if you would prefer a refund
    • Where items are sourced to meet an order, delivery will be longer and this is noted on the product page on the website

     

    Why is shipping more expensive / not free?

    A big challenge we face shipping adhesives, solvents, aerosols and paints is that these are classified as ‘Dangerous Goods’ (often known as ‘Haz Chem’) and cannot to be sent by post via Royal Mail. We use one of the few couriers that will transport them, economically, across mainland England, Wales and Scotland roughly below the Glasgow to Aberdeen line.

    Shipping to the Highlands and Islands in Scotland, Northern Ireland, islands off England and Wales, Isle of Man, the Channel Islands and Ireland is unfortunately relatively costly as the carriers charge price premiums for these locations.

    If you live in these locations, and regularly order goods to be delivered by means other than the post, you will already be familiar with the problem. We are uncomfortable about charging the higher rates to these locations, but have no choice. We know there are businesses out there that will ship these items by post; we simply will not break the regulations.

    Shipping to Rest of World

    We are currently in the process of revising our international postal shipping rates for 2024. This will include better pricing for heavier orders and IOSS for customers in the EU. For the most accurate pricing, please add items to your cart and the delivery price will be available at checkout.

    Non-Dangerous/Non-Hazardous Goods by Post (shipping may take longer to remote destinations)

    For orders dispatched to non-UK destinations, we do not collect any VAT/taxes - these orders may therefore be subject to taxes/duties/clearance fees.

    Signing for your Delivery

    Many couriers require you to sign for safe receipt of your goods otherwise the courier will not leave the parcel at your delivery address. Please ensure that you will be present to sign for your delivery or state an alternative delivery address when you place your order e.g. your workplace. Most couriers now email you in advance of your delivery giving you the option to change delivery arrangements.

       

      Public Holidays / Bank Holidays

      We sometimes work over public holiday weekends but Royal Mail and our couriers don’t collect from us then, so please allow an extra day for delivery. Around Easter, Christmas and New Year, deliveries can also take a little longer than expected.
