Otherwise we will endeavour to ship the Goods the next business day. In spite of the above, we will ensure that Goods are shipped within 30 days from the day you place an order to purchase the Goods. Goods are not insured when they are shipped. Risk in the Goods passes on purchase or shipping of the Good (whichever occurs first in time).

If delivery attempts fail due to no one being able to accept the Goods, the Goods may be returned to your local post office awaiting collection from you. However, if you stipulate otherwise, and we agree to these stipulations prior to shipping your Goods, then your Goods may be left in your letterbox or somewhere at your location (such as front door, back door etc), depending on the delivery carriers own policy.
8.3. If we are not able to deliver your Goods within 30 days of the date of your order, because you have given us incorrect address details, we will notify you by e-mail to confirm your address and arrange another date for delivery.

8.7. Generally, Goods are sent by post. We will send you a message by email to tell you when we have despatched your order.
8.8. If we agree with you to deliver on a particular day or at a particular time, we will do our best to comply.

8.9. Some Goods may be delivered direct from the manufacturer who will contact you to arrange delivery. When delivery of the Goods has been arranged directly with the manufacturer, you will be subject to the manufacturer’s delivery policy or if the manufacturer does not have a delivery policy then your order will be subject to our delivery policy set out in these terms and conditions.
