Delivery

Covid-19 and Government Recommendations:

Last updated: 13th January 2021

Due to the social distancing requirements we have now assessed the risk to customers and staff and are only sending out UK wide or you can choose click and collect (see below) at Dumfries if you wish. The shop remains closed to public access. 

For UK delivery we aim to dispatch to you within the time frames stated.  If there are any unexpected changes to your delivery or click and collect appointment we will notify you in reasonable time.

CLICK & COLLECT services are temporarily suspended from the 13th January due to Scottish Government restrictions. PLEASE ENSURE you select the appropriate UK delivery on the checkout page. We can not change the click and collection option so if you do not pay the appropriate P&P this may delay your order. 

 Thank you and stay safe!
