Shipping Rates Explained

We will ship products only to the places marked on the map to the right. Our shipping rates are calculated depending on your location and the size and weight of the largest product you buy.

If you tell us your location we'll remember it and show the shipping you'll actually pay on each product page and in the shopping cart. Please note we now only ship to the United Kingdom.

How Shipping is Calculated

We try to make shipping costs clear to customers before you purchase. We can't think of anything more annoying than having to go through the checkout to find out what the shipping might be.

We don't make money on shipping (on average). The prices above will result in some customers paying slightly too much for shipping and others paying slightly too little depending on the product. We try to adjust the shipping costs so that things balance out and that nobody is ever far off the actual cost.

The shipping area is calculated when you check out based on your address, so there's no need to select your shipping zone unless you want to know what it will be before we spring it on you at checkout.
