How long will it take to get my order?
During these rough times during the Covid Pandemic things are taking longer. Suppliers are having delays, shippers are taking longer, many companies are short staffed, etc. We are doing our best to ship your orders as soon as possible.
Under normal circumstances we aim to ship orders the same day. However if casting is required or at peak times (holidays, Christmas etc) or when we are running a sale it can take longer to ship orders. Time in transit varies by destination. Orders in the UK and NorthAmerica usually take 2-5 working days. Orders to Europe usually take 7-10 working days. Orders to the Rest of the World may take longer.
We operate offices in both the U.S. and U.K. and sometimes it may be necessary to ship items from the other location to fill orders. We are doing everything possible to keep this to a minimum.
What about Back Orders?
We do not usually operate a back-order system. However if an item is out of stock and may not be available for more than a week, we will send you the main part of the order and will send the missing item as soon as we receive it.
