Delivery information

 

  • Our delivery charges in a nutshell - Standard deliveries are currently taking 2-4 working days. Larger items that require pallet delivery may take up to 10 working days. We do not hold these items on-site and are dependent on our supply chains to get them into stock before we can dispatch them. For this reason, these items are marked as having a longer lead time of up to 10 working days, and on occasion can take longer than this. Please allow extra days for delivery during any sale, holidays or promotional periods.
  • FREE delivery when you spend €199 or more on all orders regardless of weight, unless an item in the order is classed as ‘Bulky’. These products are highlighted on the product page as "Excluded from Free Delivery" with the following icon.

Delivery Time

  • We aim to dispatch all orders within 24 hours (Mon-Fri) with 48-hour delivery on all standard deliveries. Please allow 2-4 working days for non-standard deliveries. Deliveries are made Monday to Friday excluding Bank Holidays.
  • If your item is listed as ‘in stock online’ it is usually ready to ship straight away. While every effort is made to ensure the accuracy of the information on this site, sometimes we have to hold our hands up and admit we have made a mistake by unintentionally publishing inaccurate information (e.g. the price, description or availability of a product you have ordered). In this instance, we may have to cancel or delay your order, even if you have received your confirmation email.
  • Vaccines and other chilled products are shipped from Monday-Thursday only as they must be stored in temperature-controlled conditions. So, if you order vaccines on a Friday, we will dispatch them the following Monday. Temperature-controlled products are delivered in insulated boxes.
  • Delivery dates are estimated and we are unable to accept any liability for delays which may be outside our control.
  • We are unable to redirect orders once items have been dispatched.
