Discounted prices are final and reflected in your order summary.
We never charge hidden fees—the price you see is the price you pay.

3. No Additional Fees

There are no extra handling, packaging, or service fees beyond the listed product price and calculated shipping cost.
Customs or import duties are not applicable for UK domestic orders.

While we strive to display accurate prices, occasional typographical errors may occur. In such cases, we reserve the right to correct the error and notify you prior to completing the order.

Order Cut-Off Time

We aim to process and ship your orders as quickly and efficiently as possible. To ensure timely dispatch, please review our order cut-off policies below:

Orders are processed Monday to Friday (excluding UK public holidays).
Our standard order cut-off time is 5:00 PM (Mon-Fri), Greenwich Mean Time (London).
Orders placed before the cut-off time will begin processing the same business day.
Orders placed after the cut-off time or on weekends/public holidays will be processed on the next business day.
Same-day dispatch is subject to product availability.
The product page will clearly indicate any additional handling time required for certain products.
Orders placed after the cut-off time or on non-business days may experience a slight delay in processing.
Standard delivery estimates will start from the day your order is processed, not the day it is placed.
During high-demand periods (e.g., Black Friday, Christmas, or promotional sales), order cut-off times may be adjusted to ensure timely processing.
Once your order is placed, you will receive a confirmation email with your order details, including the expected processing and dispatch date.

Processing Time: Orders are processed within one business day.
We process orders placed after 5:00 PM (Mon-Fri), on weekends, or on UK bank holidays the next working day.
If there is an unexpected delay (which is rare), you will receive an email notification.
