Royal Mail Tracked 24
This service will show in applicable postcodes in the checkout. The cost will depend upon the items in your basket. This is basically tracked Royal Mail 1st class post, so whilst it is not a guaranteed next day service, the vast majority of deliveries will be made the next working day.
There are some items such as very long clamps, lathes, workbenches, potato forks etc that we cannot ship to every postcode in the UK, or indeed every corner of the globe. If we are unable to deliver, or if there are potential additional costs then we will contact you.
Overseas Delivery
Shipping costs exclude import duties / taxes / fees. If applicable, they will be charged by customs in the destination country. You will be contacted separately by the courier to pay these.
We've updated our system and now you will see shipping costs in the checkout. If there are currently no shipping costs displayed then it will say ''Quote Required'' and ''Free''. On this occasion you can still proceed through checkout, the order will go on hold, a delivery cost will be worked out and we will then contact you with the quote.
