Despatch & Delivery Information

We are currently despatching orders received before 13:00 on the same day, otherwise they are despatched the next working day of receipt of payment (ex. Sat, Sun and Bank Holidays). International orders are despatched the next working day from receipt of payment.

Please note: We do not despatch orders on Saturdays, Sundays or Bank Holidays. Please check our contact us page for any festive holiday closures. In which case, we work hard to despatch all pending orders on the next working day.

We have great delivery prices from Royal Mail and DX Express who deliver most of our products all around the UK, although we may also use Hermes when necessary for returns. As our delivery costs are regularly reviewed to keep prices as low as we can, prices shown in the checkout and customer service are subject to change. Please be assured we keep the delivery and packaging costs as low as possible, while assuring your order is delivered safely and efficiently. Please note: Heavier or items too long or expensive to be sent by Royal Mail will default to DX Express.

So Sorry, we can no longer offer this discount on parcels over 120cm going to Northern Ireland, Highlands and other remote UK locations.

Please note: these great prices are per consignment and that extra charges only apply for deliveries to offshore UK destinations and for the Scottish Highlands, where an express service is requested.

An order can be left in a secure weather-proof location (e.g. shed, outhouse or garage) on the instructions of the customer but this is done at the customers own risk. We cannot advise the delivery companies to leave an item on the doorstep, over back gate or in the back garden etc.

However, in a minority of cases, if the delivery companies are unable to follow the instructions they will leave a 'Sorry you were out' delivery card. These cases could include:

• If it would be dangerous for them to access the nominated point.
• If the nominated point is clearly insecure, such as an easily viewed doorstep.
• If the item would be exposed to bad weather.

If a courier delivery arrives damaged or crushed, please do not sign for it or sign for it only as damaged container. Let us know within 24 hrs or the next working day so we can resolve the issue.

When we sell to customers worldwide we have a delivery contract with DHL Worldwide and other freight companies which give us a competitive price. Short or folding items can be sent by Airmail which gives you a considerable saving. International services costs vary by country and the service options and charges will be shown at checkout. Unfortunately, any item over 60cm is too long to be sent by small packet Airmail so they have to be sent via a courier.

• European Courier Service is by DHL.
• Airmail is by Royal Mail, and goes if possible in your area, International Signed For Small Packet Post.
• International deliveries are by DHL Worldwide

DHL services are charged first volumetrically and then by weight, while Royal Mail Airmail services are charged by weight.

Please note: For international deliveries we are not responsible for any further duties or charges to be paid to the receiving country's Custom Officials. These have to be paid to DHL by the recipient and not by a third party buyer.

We cannot be held responsible for delivery delays occurring once goods leave our warehouse (e.g. due to inclement weather or vehicle/equipment breakdown). Naysmith Ltd will not accept any liability for late delivery of the goods and delivery time specified should be viewed as a guideline only.
