Timed and Saturday deliveries

International Deliveries
Place your order either using our on line shop, by email or by phone. You will be charged the default UK delivery of £9.50 - During processing your order, we will calculate your shipping charge based upon Size, Weight, Dimensions and Destination. We will then contact you for payment of the difference between the UK shipping paid and the International shipping cost due.
Due to the variations in item cost, item volume, item weight and perhaps the need for lots of protective packing on certain items it has not been possible to set up an automated method of identifying when an alternative delivery method should be applied.
The default setting we have on this shop is a next day delivery fee of £9.50 (DPD) and in the vast majority of cases this is the most cost effective way to get your order to you. However when we receive an order for a single hose end or some washers then we do have the option of sending the parts in a padded envelope with Royal Mail on a signed for service. In such instances we will contact the purchaser to confirm this is an acceptable change. We send out items by courier and Royal Mail on a daily basis.
If you have read our page titled 'Your Order', and you have paid via card, you will already know that no payment is taken from your card until your items are ready to be finally packed and despatched for next working day delivery (UK). If you have paid via PayPal, a refund for the amended postage will be credited to your account. This is an important feature when we discuss delivery charges. With this in mind I would like to explain what we do.
Whilst your order is being processed we will know if we can send it to you with Royal Mail and we will attempt to contact you to confirm this is acceptable. We will alter the final invoice value ( a reduction in cost) before any payment is processed from your card.
This all happens 'behind the scenes' with no fuss or affect on the service we provide.
If you have any questions or would like any detail to be confirmed please call or email Speedflow.
