Special Delivery Guaranteed: 23rd December 2024
Orders must be received before 3pm on these days to allow us to process them and get them to the Post Office in time for collection.
Please note that these are the present dates Royal Mail has published. Should there be further industrial action these dates may change.
Standard Posting Days
Orders received before 5.30pm Monday to Friday are shipped 8am the following morning as we deliver our parcels direct to Royal Mail rather than the Post Office Counter. Our Royal Mail depot only accepts mail bags between 8am-10am Mondays – Saturday.
Postage is based on the number of items in an order:
Royal Mail 2nd Class | Royal Mail 1st Class |
|

Additional cost for guaranteed next-day delivery (if ordered before 5.30pm Monday to Thursday) is £5.00. Please note that as we deliver direct to our sorting office, the parcels get dropped off 8am the following morning. Our sorting office now only open their desk to receive parcels between 8am and 10am in the morning. We no longer deliver to our local Post Office counter as we have had a few issues with reliability.
Additional cost for Royal Mail Recorded delivery is £1.00.
Next day delivery refers to ‘Next Posting Day’ on orders made from Monday to Friday (before 5.30pm). Please note that as we are closed on Saturday – Sunday any order made over the weekend will not be processed until Monday (excluding Bank Holidays and public holidays). Orders made on Saturday and Sunday will be dispatched on the Tuesday Morning.
