Orders under £50

• For orders under £50, we offer a premium delivery option to receive your order the next working day at a nominal charge of £3.95.

• If the £3.95 charge for premium delivery is not chosen and your order is under the £50 threshold, then your order will be held up until 21 days. This is to give your order a chance to reach the required threshold for free delivery. If after the 21 days, your order still has not reached the threshold, then your order will be sent as normal free of charge.
