Delivery is as described in our Shipping Policy. Orders placed before 16:00 (Monday–Friday) will be dispatched according to our stated processing times. Delivery times are estimates and may vary due to carrier delays or other circumstances beyond our control.

Our Refund & Returns Policy explains returns eligibility, refund processes, and fault handling. By placing an order you accept those terms.
