DELIVERY
Our transportation partners make every effort to deliver on time and have an enviable track record for on-time shipments worldwide. However, errors can occur and occasionally situations that are out of our control can cause delays. We cannot take responsibility for these situations and therefore request that if an order is at all time critical that you allow extra time prior to ordering to avoid disappointment or inconvenience. Cut off times are approximate. Collection times from us by your chosen carrier do vary. Ordering after this time will often make it onto that days pickup, but will more than likely be collected from us the following day.
