Shipping & Returns

Shipping Policy

We aim to dispatch orders within 24 to 48 business hours from the moment of order creation. Business hours are Monday to Friday, from 08:00 AM to 5:00 PM British Time, excluding weekends and UK bank holidays. 

If your order is placed on a Friday or during the weekend, it will be collected on the following Monday or the next business day.

During peak times, such as sales or holiday periods, processing times may be extended due to increased order volume. We appreciate your patience and understanding as we work to fulfill your orders as quickly as possible.

Important notice - Black Friday

Orders placed during our Black Friday promotion, running from November 25th to December 4th, cannot be modified or cancelled. Additionally, due to the high order volume during this period, processing times may be extended by up to 72 hours. Thank you for your understanding!
