Please note the Web & Customer Services teams are available Monday to Friday, with all orders from the weekend being picked up on Monday morning and dispatched in date order. The majority of garments will be sent directly from our warehouse, however there may be occasion where items are to be picked from a store location, or to be delivered directly from a store. In these instances, processing may take slightly longer. If you have any time constraints please note these in the comments box or pick an express shipping option.

1. Shipping Costs and How Long it Takes

The easiest way to work out how much it will cost to ship your item(s) and which shipping options are available to you, is to add the items you want to your basket, proceed to the checkout and enter your destination county. This will present the shipping options available, their cost and estimated delivery times.

1.1 UK Customers (please see below for international orders)

We offer a free delivery option on all UK orders over £50. Our free delivery option used Royal Mail Second Class for smaller items and DHL Economy for larger items. Delivery should take 3-5 working days but this isn’t guaranteed.

If you need your item more quickly there are express options available and if you need it ‘next day’ then please ensure you place your order by 12pm (UK time). Orders placed after 12pm on a Friday will be shipped the following Monday.

The table below details shipping costs, delivery times and tracking for our UK shipping options. Where you see a range of prices, the actual cost will be determined by the weight of the package.

*Please note, for some rural areas delivery times may take slightly longer – if you need to know what these will be then please get in touch.

If you choose a tracked service please ensure that someone is home to ensure it can be delivered as we cannot arrange to leave it in the shed or with a neighbour, for example.

*Pre-noon and Saturday Guaranteed Deliveries in the UK:  For most products and addresses this can be arranged at an additional cost, but to ensure this is possible and to confirm the price, please contact us to discuss your specific requirements

1.2 UK Remote Areas

Free shipping for orders over £50 is offered to all UK customers.  For premium delivery, as DHL impose significant surcharges for certain UK Postcodes we use Royal Mail instead of DHL. 

Prices for economy delivery are £2.99-£8.99, shipped with Royal Mail 48.  For a standard service we use Royal Mail 24 tracked and prices are £3.99-£12.99.

1.3 International Customers

If you cannot find the information you need in the details above or in the checkout, or if you have any questions at all about international shipping, then please do not hesitate to contact us

1.4 HM Forces Customers

We offer delivery to BFPO addresses, however all orders will be shipped with Royal Mail / Parcel Force (even if DHL was selected) to ensure successful delivery. Please provide your full BFPO address at the checkout, or email the web team to confirm your delivery details, quoting your order number.

2. How to Track your Order

Please refer to your order dispatch confirmation email to see when your order was dispatched, with who and whether it was a tracked service. 

If it is a tracked service, you will receive an email with the tracking number for either Royal Mail or DHL once it is dispatched by us.

If it was a tracked service you can track it here:

Royal Mail: https://www.royalmail.com/track-your-item and for once it has left the UK you can track it on your country’s local delivery service which you can find here: http://postoffice.com.  If there is a delay between it being shown as leaving the UK on the Royal mail site and the tracking commencing in your local country the item will be processing through customs. Please be patient, this is quite normal.

DHL: https://www.dhl.co.uk/en/express/tracking.html

If it was an untracked service and the longest estimated delivery time has passed then please go to your local sorting office and ask if the item is there with a proof of ID.  Please do not rely on the local delivery person leaving a card to tell you it is awaiting collection – this often does not happen.

If it is not at your local sorting office then please email [email protected] with your order number and the address you are expecting the delivery
