All UK orders sent either Royal Mail 48 hr or 24 hr tracked and are an estimated time of arrival. There is no guarantee of service with tracked 24 or 48.

Royal Mail Special Delivery. Special Delivery is the only guaranteed next day service. If your Item is not delivered on time you will be refunded for the postage costs
