Which countries are included in the UK? The following countries
are included in our definition of the UK for delivery purposes: England, Northern
Ireland, much of Scotland, Wales and all BFPO addresses. For deliveries to the
Republic of Ireland, Scottish Highlands and Islands, please see our Western Europe delivery rates. How will it
be delivered? All items delivered to a UK address will be dispatched using
either Royal Mail First Class or Nightspeed
48 hours. There is a maximum weight of 2 Kilos for Royal Mail, and other restictions
on size and value. How long will it take to arrive? To find
out when you will receive an item, you need to consider the availability of the
item you ordered and add it to the stated dispatch time for your chosen destination.
For deliveries to a UK address, dispatch time is 1 or 2 working days. So if you
are ordering an item displaying 24-hour availability, you can expect to receive
the item at your door two or three days after you place your order. When
all your goods are in stock, we usually achieve 'following day' delivery in the
UK, although it can also depend on courier schedules and workloads. This can sometimes
take customers by surprise, and as parcels require a signature for the delivery
driver, there can be an unnecessary delay.
Be prepared to have someone available to sign for your goods.
We have no control over the time of delivery, nor whether parcel delivery drivers
have sufficient flexibility to 'leave your parcel next door' or not. The general
rule is if no-one is available to sign for the goods, a card is left and you then
have to make arrangements with the carrier for personal collection from a local
depot, or a second delivery attempt may be made. If
your need is particularly urgent, and the parts you order are in stock, we can
- at extra cost - deliver by the following morning. You will need to order directly
by telephone for this service to be effective NB: Delivery times to BFPO
addresses are dependent on British Forces Post Office schedules.
