Shipping
COVID-19 Update 8/04/2020
We are still shipping all orders from our warehouse and are monitoring the government's advice carefully.
We have received an unprecedented number of orders since the weekend, and our machinists are working flat out (we make all our nets and frames). Most nets will ship in 3-4 days rather than our usual 1-2 days. Other products will ship as usual.
From despatch, we ship using a next-working-day (UK) courier service as standard. (DHL Express / Euro Priority Business elsewhere). Priority Shipping options are given below.
Delivery partners are also experiencing an increased demand, and as a result you may understandably expect to see some delay in transit times - however, most UK mainland orders shipped last week landed as expected on the next working day.
If you have placed an order we will contact you with any updates if the situation changes. Stay safe.

Shipping Rates & Times
We aim to get all orders out promptly, and in-stock orders will usually be shipped from our warehouse by the next working day, unless we're exceptionally busy. However, we advise you to look at our courier transit time guidelines in the table below. These are courier transit times after your order leaves our warehouse. There may occasionally be courier delays out of our control.
If you've provided us with an email address and/or mobile phone number, you'll receive notification with a tracking link once the order has been scanned on to the courier van. The link becomes live once the order reaches the depot. You'll receive an interactive notification giving you delivery options on the day of delivery.
