Our Carriage Charges
We do recognise though that for some small items - the cost of the UPS delivery is prohibitive, we therefore offer a "UK Economy" delivery option for items that we can post in a small package i.e. sticks of makeup, single lamps or a roll of PVC tape. Being an "Economy" service this uses Royal Mail second class post and items can take up to 7 working days to be with you.Our Checkout will offer a series of Delivery options priced according to the items in your basket dependent on the postcode for your delivery address and where our stocks are held.
Pyrotechnics are despatched direct from LeMaitre and sometimes, next working day delivery may not be possible.
We keep many of the smaller items in stock in Birmingham so if you're local - you might consider calling in to say "Hello" as well.
