We pride ourselves on our speed of despatch;

Orders will normally be posted the same day if received before 3.30pm for Royal Mail services or 1pm for DPD next day courier.

For heavier or more valuable orders, we may upgrade to courier delivery at no extra cost if we think it provides a more appropriate level of tracking and cover.  Most postage costs are based on a combination of packed weight, size and order value, and include VAT at 20%.

UK P&P Prices

Free Shipping – UK Orders over £70

We offer free delivery for UK orders over £70.  Once your order is over the threshold, this option will automatically appear on the list of shipping methods, and you will need to select it for the offer to apply.

With this shipping method, we will still send your order out as quickly as we can, and will select the most cost effective shipping method for you (normally Yodel 48 or Royal Mail Tracked 48).

Please note that this is an economy service, and that you should select Express Delivery, Royal Mail Special Delivery or DPD Local if you need your order more urgently or by a specific date.

Express Delivery

We use Royal Mail 24 or Tracked 24 for Express Delivery. These are the services which have replaced Royal Mail 1st Class. We show them as a 1-4 day service in our checkout. They deliver next working day in about 90% of cases, but isn’t a guaranteed next day service (if it’s essential you need it next working day, use Special Delivery).

Order Value P&P Charged
Up to £11 (Large Letter Sized) £2.50
Over £11 £6.30

Standard Delivery

For Standard Delivery, we use Royal Mail 48 or Tracked 48, well priced for small and medium sized orders that you don’t need too urgently – our experience is that it is normally a 2-5 day service, but can take longer at busy times of the year.

Order Value P&P Charged
Up to £11 (Large Letter Sized) £1.96
Over £11 £4.30

Royal Mail Special Delivery

The premium service Royal Mail offers, with next working day delivery (by 1pm to most areas).  Someone will need to be in to sign for the delivery.

Shipping Weight (Grams) P&P Charged
Up to 100 £10.95
100-500 £11.05
500-1000 £12.50
1000-2000 £15.80
2000-5000 £21.25

Yodel

Yodel offers three services; Yodel24, Yodel48 and Yodel Economy Packet. Orders should be placed before noon on weekdays to be shipped the same day (except on Public Holidays !)  Yodel 24 is normally delivered the next working day, but orders shipped on a Friday will usually be delivered on Saturday. Yodel48 is normally delivered in 2-6 days. Yodel Economy Packet is ideal for lower value orders, and normally delivered in 2-8 days.

  • Please note: We have temporarily suspended Yodel 24 in the run-up to Christmas, because we can’t promise that they’ll hit the target of 100% of deliveries next working day at this busy time of year.

Please note: International may have VAT and/or Customs charges applied; this varies by country and is the buyer’s responsibility.

The only country in Rest of World Zone A is the United States; all other countries are Zone B.

Unfortunately, we have had to suspend shipping to EU countries due to the significant cost of meeting non-tariff barrier requirements. We hope this will change in July when a single VAT portal is launched.

We currently use Royal Mail Airmail for international shipments, but may upgrade to an alternative provider where it is cost effective. Orders over 2 kilos in weight cannot be sent by airmail; if this is the case, send us a screenshot of your shipping cart and we will check all our Air Couriers to get the best price.

All orders are shipped fully tracked and signed-for. Please be aware you may need to collect your order from a local collection point (this is the default for some countries).

Important: Some products cannot be shipped to international addresses (including the Channel Islands).  If you see a message saying “no postal services are available” when you choose your shipping method, it is likely you have items in your basket that cannot be shipped internationally – if you are unsure, email us with a screenshot of your basket and the country you are in and we will check for you. The key restrictions are;

  • Aerosols and highly solvent-based products (e.g. Alclad, most lacquer-based paints) cannot be shipped internationally at all.
  • Low solvent products can be a grey area, depending on the exact product. We have set our system up to allow limited quantities of very low solvent products to be shipped internationally, but will assess each order individually to ensure it is safe to send and will contact you if it is not.
  • Any paint in bottles over 150ml cannot be shipped internationally.
