New Delivery Options for Customers

by Jonathan on March 4, 2010

Good news for customers.  To coincide with our recent warehouse move, we’re pleased to announce new delivery options and charges avaialable immediately.  The main changes are as follows:

  • Customers have asked for lower delivery charges for small orders consisting of just one or a few items.  We’ve done our very best to find the cheapest service possible and are now able to offer a service for orders under 1 Kg at £4.99 – that’s £1 cheaper than our standard rate.  We hope to offer a new Royal Mail service soon – this will mean even cheaper rates for smaller orders and the chance for customers in northern Scotland to avoid the surcharge.
  • New faster service to Northern Ireland and Republic of Ireland introduced.
  • All European destinations are now £14.99 for up to 25 Kg.

Of course, we’ll continue to do our best to keep shipping charges down and keep introducing new and innovative delivery services for our customers.

Here’s a quick summary of our new schedule of delivery charges. For full information, please visit our delivery information page:
