**Please note: current Royal Mail policy is to insure / compensate for loss or damage of goods in transit up to a value of £32.00. Any item(s) over and above that value are effectively not insured unless you choose: Special Delivery option. We always recommend you choose an insured shipping option as we cannot be held liable for and disclaim all responsibility for total or partial loss or damage of goods, should the need to make a claim arise. We retain proof of postage for every item dispatched and will happily provide this for you in the event of a loss, but it is entirely your responsibility to manage your claim with the Royal Mail directly because as the sender and not recipient, we can neither prove nor disprove safe receipt of goods. Should you choose an uninsured delivery option, you do so entirely at your own risk!

DISPATCH
We always package your goods carefully and securely to ensure they are well protected during transit. If you place and pay for an order in full by midday (G.M.T), we will always endeavour to dispatch it the same business day where humanly possible! If your order is placed and paid for after midday it will usually be dispatched next business day. Your dispatch date will always be confirmed by email but please allow approximately 2 - 3 working days for delivery unless you have paid for Special Delivery. Our business days are Monday to Friday (excluding holidays), so orders placed after midday on Friday will usually be dispatched no earlier than the following Monday. Orders paid for by cheque and postal order will be dispatched as soon as payment has cleared (usually 5 working days from receipt of cheque). Whilst we always dispatch as quickly as possible, we cannot be held responsible for speed of delivery as circumstances may affect our courier that are beyond our control.
'Account Created' / 'Order Confirmation' emails:- Once you have successfully created a new account / log in profile or placed an order, you should receive an email from us, welcoming you and confirming your new account / our receipt of your order. If you have not received our email, it could be that your email server / browser may have blocked it as SPAM and you may (or may not :) wish to alter your settings to allow our emails through. Please also check you have entered your email address correctly, with no spelling mistakes. Thanks.
