Delivery / Collection

We can only process orders for delivery or collection within countries in which we are permitted to sell the Products.   You may opt for the Products to either be delivered to your address or to be made available at one of our designated stores for your collection.  

If you opt for collection at one of our stores, you will be asked to choose a designated store which is convenient for you. Note that you may only collect from a designated store of the same brand as the Products being purchased.

If you opt for delivery, please note that delivery charges and timescales vary depending on the type of Products ordered, the service you select and the delivery address.   

We will try our best to either deliver the Products to your address or make the Products available for collection at the relevant store by the estimated delivery/collection date set out in our order confirmation email. If we are unable to meet our estimated delivery/collection date, we will contact you as soon as we can with a revised estimated date.   We will inform you when the order is ready for collection or has been delivered to your address, as the case may be.  If you have opted for collection at one of our stores, you must collect the order within 7 days of notification that the order is ready, failing which we reserve the right to cancel the order, return the Products to our warehouse and (if necessary and possible) process a refund to your payment card.
