Extra delivery may also apply to cover some staging deliveries (see info on individual product's pages). For more on shipping please click here.
If applicable, in most cases shipping will be added to your order once you have entered in your delivery and contact details at the check out stage. If more than one delivery is attempted there may be an extra freight charge.

You can instruct us to ask the courier to leave your parcel unattended in a safe place. Please be aware that if anything happens to the parcel, neither we nor the courier company can be held responsible. Work addresses are a great delivery option!
Please do not ask us to request that the courier driver phone you 5 or 20 minutes prior to delivery, as in over 20 years we have found that this in all probability will not happen!
