Is a signature required?

  • The courier may operate a DOA (Delivery On Arrival), instead of a signature they will take a GPS location reading and a photo of the parcel being delivered to the property.

My item is only a small letter sized parcel, why have I had to pay £3.95?

  • Our standard delivery is £3.95 regardless of size and weight. Even if a large letter costs £1.50 or a small parcel costs us £2.99 to send with our chosen delivery platform, we still incur costs such as packaging, envelopes, boxes and the manual labour and time to prepare your order which is why we have a flat fee of £3.95 on all orders. On average, we lose money on providing such a cheap delivery service due to the cost of packaging materials and manual processing labour to pick and pack your order.
