Delivery & Shipping Information

Delivery

We aim for superhero speed from the point of order right through to delivery.

We have a range of delivery services available. Please refer to our Q&A below.

How quickly are orders dispatched?
All orders are dispatched within 24 hours of order. The only exceptions would be special-order (not in stock) products or products that are customised such as those requiring our paint service.

Special Order (not in stock) items may include an import or delivery lead time which will affect the dispatch of your order. Orders containing items that require painting services will have a delay of approximately 3 working days from the order being placed.

All lead times are published on the product information page and further reminders are included during the checkout process.

All lead times are approximate; however, care has been taken to ensure they are as accurate as possible.

Do you ship on bank/public holidays?
Unless otherwise stated, deliveries will not be made on Bank/Public Holidays under any circumstances.

Any pre-scheduled deliveries scheduled for delivery on a bank/public holiday will usually be completed the following business day unless otherwise re-arranged.
Do you deliver to places that are considered 'out of area'?
Using our vast and flexible network of multiple delivery partners, we can deliver items to all corners of the UK.

Some areas however may be considered “out of area” for standard delivery services.

A location is considered “out of area” when the nearest MAIL CENTRE/DELIVERY DEPOT is not within 30 miles of the delivery location.

In areas such as the Scottish Highlands, standard delivery services cannot be offered and therefore additional charges may be incurred.

Our website provides relevant delivery services based on the delivery information provided, meaning you will be fully informed of delivery costs and timeframes prior to placing your order.
How much longer will I have to wait if I request my order to be painted?
We are the only current UK Supplier to offer an in-house paint personalisation service.

If you have chosen one or more of your items to be professionally painted prior to dispatch, this will include a completion timeframe of 3 business days.

Our professional paint team are highly trained and experienced, as such we do aim to complete all orders as quickly as possible, however, a completion timeframe of within 3 business days is provided to ensure all orders are completed to the highest of standards.

This lead time directly affects the dispatch of your order, your order will not be dispatched until this service has been completed.

If you have opted for a timed delivery service, the delivery timeframe will not begin until this service has been completed and your order has been successfully dispatched.
How much longer will I have to wait if my item is a special-order (not in stock) item?
The Vast Majority of our range is stocked locally in the UK either directly in our warehouse facilities or with UK Supply.

We do however offer a range of non-stocked items, not available elsewhere in the UK.

This range of products are stocked with overseas suppliers and manufacturers and therefore include import lead times at the time of purchase.

The import lead time may differ depending on the product purchased, all import lead times are published on each individual product and are accurate as to the current date.

All items including an import lead time are considered special-order components, they are not considered stocked and are imported only at customer request.
Are the stocks on the website accurate?
We always try our best to ensure our listings are as accurate as possible, but sometimes even we make mistakes.

Sometimes, an item may experience a stock discrepancy where the item is no longer available at the time of dispatch.

If an item you have purchased has experienced a stock discrepancy, you will be notified immediately and provided with the next available dispatch timeframe.

You will also be provided with instructions on how to request cancellation of the order if the timeframe provided is not suitable.

Further information regarding our cancellation policy can be found here.

If the timeframe provided is suitable, and you do not wish to cancel the order, you do not need to notify us as your order will be retained and will be pre-scheduled for dispatch at the next available opportunity.
