We strive to process and dispatch your order promptly and efficiently.

• All orders are shipped on the same day or the next working day after payment is received.

We use a combination of courier services and freight companies, depending on the size and weight of the items:

• Items over 25kg or exceeding courier size limits will be sent via freight company to the nearest depot.

  • Inspect the goods carefully on-site before signing the delivery.
