Delivery Information
**Bank Holiday Delivery information:**
Please note that we do not dispatch parcels on bank holidays or weekends. Please take this into account when placing an order and selecting a delivery method.
“Working Days” are Monday-Friday excluding any bank holidays.
Cut-off points:
Our order cut-off point for same-day dispatch is 3pm Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays) for most orders, but 1pm for orders paid for using Finance agreements (see specific Finance section below for detailed delivery information for Finance orders.)
Orders placed after this point will not be dispatched until the following day. Please consider this when choosing a postage method. Orders placed after 3pm on a Friday or over the weekend will not be dispatched until Monday. Therefore orders with a Saturday or Sunday postage requirement must be placed by 3pm (or 1pm for finance orders) on a Friday.
This information is also repeated in your Shopping Basket and at the checkout when you choose a delivery option.

Highlands and Islands
Unfortunately, we are unable to offer free delivery to UK island locations, Northern Ireland or the Scottish Highlands. The free delivery and Next Working Day delivery options we provide for Mainland UK are already heavily subsidised to provide low cost options for our customers. It costs us more to post items to Highland and Island locations so we are unable to offer the same options. But, we have subsidised these as well in order to try to keep the costs low for customers in these areas too.
The locations we deem to be within the Scottish Highlands are set by the postcodes provided to us by DPD. You can use the Delivery Estimate option in your Shopping Basket to check if you fall into one of these areas and see all the options available.
Our cut off point for dispatch on all orders is 3pm* (1pm for Finance orders) Mon-Fri, excluding bank holidays. Orders placed after 3pm or over the weekend will be dispatched on the next working day. Working days are classed as Monday-Friday (excluding bank holidays). If you require a Saturday or Sunday delivery your order must be placed before 3pm on a Friday.
Depending on your location, will depend on the speed of service available. This is based on your post code. Northern Ireland for example is usually a 2 working day service, but some locations within the Scottish Highlands can be 5 working days. The exact options available to you will be shown at the checkout or you can use the Delivery Estimate feature in your Shopping Basket.

Safe Spaces / Deliver to Neighbour or Shop

For example, if your safe place is a recycling bin or round the side of your house, someone could easily see this and take your parcel before you return home. By choosing to have your parcel delivered to an alternative location or safe place, you are taking responsibility for that location being safe and secure and therefore any liability should this not be the case.
Where the tracking and proof of delivery (images and or/GPS co-ordinates and/or driver statements) shows that the parcel was delivered in accordance with any instructions given, we will not reimburse or replace items.
