Delivery Info
How much does UK delivery cost?
All orders over £75 are sent with FREE UK delivery
Orders under £75 are charged at a rate similar to the Royal Mail 1st class ‘packet’ tariff (as this is how most of our smaller items are sent). As an example DVD’s may cost around £1.38 for delivery and most frames £2.92
How long will my delivery take?
'Estimated Delivery Times' will be displayed for each product in its product description. Please remember this IS JUST ESTIMATED :-)
Please allow 5 working days before contacting us about the whereabouts of your order.
Orders are ALWAYS dealt with IMMEDIATELY, whether they are an item that is in stock or an item that needs to be ordered into stock
How will my order be sent?
Large items (mainly skates) will be sent on a Next Working-Day courier service. We now use DPD for this service to try and avoid less reliable budget courier firms like Home Delivery Network. You will get a text message in the morning of your delivery advising you of an hour slot when your delivery is likely to arrive so you don't have to wait in all day. The text message gives you the option to re-arrange your delivery if the time of delivery is not convenient for you.
Smaller items are mainly sent by 1st class Royal Mail
What about orders from outside of the UK?
The cost of deliveries to outside the UK will depend on the weight of the package and where it is going to. You will find out this value at the payment stage of your transaction before you enter your card details.
Here are some examples of delivery charges for a pair of skates to be sent outside of the UK:
U.S.A. - £28 (3-4 working days) Japan - £37 (3-5 working days) France - £13 (2-3 working days) China - £37 (5-7 working days) Republic of Ireland- £12.99 (2-4 working days) Australia - £37 (5-7 working days) Spain - £13 (2-4 working days) Channel Islands - £4 (2-4 working days)
Things you might want to know about your delivery
- Courier Deliveries will arrive with you between 9am and 5:30pm. You will receive an email the morning of your delivery with a 1 hour window in which your delivery will arrive. If you provided us with a valid mobile phone number then you will also receive this information as a text message on the morning of your delivery.
- If you are not in to sign for your courier delivery then the driver should leave you a card with instructions on it. It is most likely that they will try to re-deliver the next day. They will try and re-deliver 3 times. If unsuccessfull the you will have to contact your local DPD depot and arrange to pick up the package.
- If you want the driver to leave your package with a neighbour please leave a signed note on your door. Please do not try and leave these instructions with us.
- The 'Estimated Delivery Times' displayed for each product are around 90% accurate although they may be subject to change if that particular product has been subject to high demand that day
