We would like to reassure our customers that we are open for business and will remain open as long as is safe and possible for us to do so.
Complete orders for items in stock will be dispatched as usual. However, for orders containing backordered items, we are trying our best to obtain stock as quickly as possible, but due to the current global situation surrounding COVID-19, this may take longer than usual.
All delivery services are experiencing delays, these vary greatly from region to region. If you have not yet received your order we apologise greatly for the delay and are confident that it will arrive. We kindly ask for your understanding and patience during this time.
We do stock a wide range of products from many suppliers so if you need help in finding a suitable replacement for a product that is currently out of stock then please do contact us and we'll do our best to help.
We appreciate your understanding and support and wish you all the best in staying safe.
