Home Delivery FAQs

What do I need to do to receive an order at home?

For the safety of our customers and Royal Mail staff, UK deliveries do not currently require a signature, however someone will still need to be home to receive the order (this doesn't necessarily need to be the person who placed the order).

Your order can only be delivered to your card's billing address to protect you from unauthorised card use. It also can only be delivered to your residential home address and cannot be delivered to your workplace.

Please note that Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed by 1pm has changed, with deliveries now being made by 4pm the next working day.

What are my options for home delivery?

Our standard delivery service delivers on weekdays and is free for orders over £500*. For orders under £500 the delivery fee is £5.50. We've lowered our minimum order value to £250.

*Excluding Saturday delivery

How much money can I order online?

We've lowered our minimum order value so you can now order between £250 and £2,500.

Some countries limit the amount of currency you can take in or take out of the country.

Please note that in the UK you must complete a Cash Declaration form if you are arriving from outside the EU or are travelling directly to a country outside the EU and plan to travel with currency totalling €10,000 or more. For more information and to obtain a Cash Declaration form, visit the HMRC website.

Is there Weekend delivery?

There is the option of special home delivery on a Saturday for a charge of £3.60 for orders above £500 and £8.60 for orders below £500. Guaranteed Saturday deliveries will arrive before 9pm.

Can I have next working day delivery?

Please note that Royal Mail Special Delivery Guaranteed time has been reinstated with deliveries now being available by 1pm.

Depending on when you place your order, your currency can be delivered the next working day. Please see delivery timetable below:

*On rare occasions, deliveries may arrive with you by 1pm on Saturday, even if you've specified a Monday delivery. If you are not in to collect this delivery, Royal Mail will leave details on how you can collect or rearrange your delivery.

Please add an extra day for deliveries placed on a bank holiday. No deliveries are made on a Sunday. Regional exceptions apply and delivery to remote parts of the UK may take up to three working days.

Where do you deliver in the UK (including the Channel Islands)?

Please check the Royal Mail website for the most up to date list of postcodes covered by the Special Delivery Guaranteed service.

Will you call or text me before my delivery arrives?

No, your order will be delivered by Royal Mail Special Delivery™ service. If you have provided a mobile number you may be sent an SMS message by Royal Mail with tracking details for your order.

What happens if no one is in to sign for the order?

If no one is there, your order will automatically go to your local sorting office. Royal Mail will leave a note advising you of this and you will need to collect the item from your local sorting office, or arrange redelivery.
