Anything placed after this point will be picked and packed and then sent when Parcel Force returns to work.

Items on our website are available to be purchased and then collected from one of our 3 branches. This service is highlighted in the basket as ‘Free Shipping!’ as the cost of this is, of course, free, it does not mean that we will ship the item to you for free.
We transfer products between our branches on a regular basis so you should always be able to collect an order within a matter of days. We do however aim to keep most items in stock at all branches so collection can almost be available instantly if the product is in stock.
Please always wait for a confirmation email that your order is ready for collection from a branch. We do also ask that a copy of your invoice, a valid form of I.D and the card used for the purchase is brought with you for security reasons.

Some items on our website are only available to be collected in store. This is usually because of size, or weight issues making delivery of the item unavailable. Items that come under this are labelled as in-store collection only. We apologise for any inconvenience this may cause.
