Charges (including packaging & handling) are calculated on the weight of the consignment and the desired shipping method.

Please check your parcels
When you sign for a parcel being delivered, please inspect it carefully. If it has suffered in transit, you can mark the delivery note 'Parcel Damaged', before signing, or even refuse delivery in serious cases. We do of course pack carefully to help avoid these problems! Some deliveries involve more than one parcel - please check that all have been received.
We must be advised within 48 hours of delivery of any shortages or damaged goods.
Loss in Transit
If your parcel does not arrive, we have to establish our claim with the carriers concerned before we can send a replacement consignment. This can sometimes be a lengthy process, and if your part is needed urgently, a second order can be paid for to save time. We refund one of your orders as soon as the carriers clear our claim.
