There is a standard £5.95 + vat shipping and handling charge on UK mainland orders under £100.

For orders over £100, carriage is free of charge to most UK mainland destinations (except UK Islands and Highlands of Scotland) .
For all orders outside the UK Mainland, additional carriage charges will apply. Other factors, such as product size and weight can also have an impact on shipping costs. The correct cost of shipping will be added to your order total during the checkout process, once a correct delivery address has been entered.
Please note that due to the limitations of our carrier service we are unable to deliver goods to certain destinations. If your destination address is not supported then a message will be displayed at the checkout page.

We aim to despatch your order within 2-3 working days on a next day carrier (to Mainland UK, please see carriage charges for timings on other countries). In the event that we are out of stock we will call you to let you know. If you provide us with a mobile number Interlink will text you in the morning of your delivery with a 1 hour timed delivery slot as we are aware you have other things to be getting on with. If a mobile number is not provided you will receive a email with the same consignment details. If the time is not convenient the message will provide you with all the details to re-arrange a better time for you.
What happens if I'm not at home when the carriers deliver?
