Shipping And Handling - General
• We use one of the few fast-delivering
Couriers that allow liquids (cheaper couriers deliver too slowly for
animal needs!).
We have to pay a premium for liquids with fast
delivery.
Sometimes, if time allows us to actually go to the Post Office, we
use Royal Mail.
• Courier & tracked services generally require a
signature upon delivery.
PLEASE watch out for our e-mail advising details for
when/how your parcel will be shipping.
If via COURIER, you will
need to leave a note if you will not
be around to receive/sign for delivery...
• Liquid carrying couriers
rarely deliver on weekends. Thus, you may wish to order
at the beginning of the week to ensure swift arrival.
• See
Postage & Payments pages within our online shop for current special
offers or
discounted shipping.
• If there is a problem with the shipping element of
your order, we shall always contact you before processing your order.
Delivery Schedule
• Orders received before 12 noon will generally be despatched within 1-2 working days.
Where animals are concerned we do our very best to ship fast.
But during
periods of exceptional demand, during holiday times (published on our
web) or around Bank Holidays, delivery times may be extended. We shall always notify you if
this is the case.
• For very urgent orders, always mention this in
the "Comments" box at your online Basket/cart page &
we'll do our best to expedite your animal's order.
• See above regarding weekend deliveries & timing your
orders to avoid unnecessary weekend delays.
Back Orders
If your item is not in stock, we will back order for you. You
will always be emailed with the option to cancel/amend your order if you
would rather not wait.
