For people who don't need their parcel immediately but can wait around 3 working days for delivery from the date of despatch.

Orders must be received prior to 2.30pm for delivery the next day. Orders placed after this time may still be dispatched - call our Customer Service Team for advice 0208 871 0105.
Please note this is a working day service only. We do not operate a next day service for a Saturday delivery. Orders placed on a Friday will not receive their order until the following Monday.
Please also be aware that during periods of adverse weather conditions deliveries can be delayed making it necessary to add an extra 4 working days for your order to arrive.
