REMOTE LOCATIONS

SHIPPING DAYS & CUT OFF TIMES

Our warehouse ships items 5 days per week on Monday - Friday.  This excludes weekends and all bank and festive holidays (local and national). If weekend delivery is essential for you, you must call us and request this as we currently do not offer this service via the website.

If you place your order before 1pm Mon-Thurs, your service will be Royal Mail 48, Parcelforce 48 or DHL Premium. If you place your orders on a Friday after 1pm, this will be classed as a Monday order. Please note:  Next day services are not guaranteed due to third party services.

TIMING

Orders usually take between 1-2 days within the UK. However, depending on the current number of unfulfilled orders, orders may take up to 3 days to get to you.

If you are buying a domestic espresso machine and/or grinder, shipping can take around 2-3 days longer, as we require an extra day to bench test your equipment to ensure it is functioning 100% correctly and avoiding any unwanted performance issues when your item arrives.

INSURANCE

All products are shipped with insurance (This excludes parcels shipped with Royal Mail, due to their lower value). This cost is included in your shipping costs. If there is any issue with your purchase, we will resolve the insurance claim for you and either refund you, or ship you a replacement product.

Shipping higher value items is always done with couriers that provide full insurance without limits. For example: we always ship espresso machines, grinders, premium scales and kettles using DHL Premium.

Questions?

If you are unsure about anything, please contact us to check before placing an order - we will be happy to discuss any queries and provide you with the best quote we can offer. If you require faster shipping, we can provide alternative services, but can only do so over the phone or via email, not on the website.

Further details of our shipping services are detailed below.

UK SHIPPING

For items weighing up to 2KG, we ship with Royal Mail. If you have purchased an item with free shipping (0-2KG), your service will be on a 48 hr service. If you have paid for your shipping or you have received free shipping due to your order value being over a certain point, your service will be on our standard 24 hr service.

Some Royal Mail shipped items, such as subscription coffee (250g) are able to be posted through a letter box, while most others require to be either left outside your location, or handed to you in person.  If you miss your delivery, you may be required to collect it from a local depot, as they will not re-attempt to deliver the item.

For items weighing 2.01-30KG in the UK we use Parcelforce & DHL. We offer standard next day delivery service to most UK mainland destinations, but there are some exceptions. This service looks to deliver next day, but depending on volumes, can take up to 3 days.

For items over 30KG, including multiple boxes of cups and / or glasses and all espresso machines, we always ship via pallet, which vastly reduces the potential for damages. Each pallet is wrapped in cling wrap and fixed in place with tight strapping to ensure zero movement whilst in transit.

Pallet Shipments

For items over 30KG, including multiple boxes of cups and / or glasses and all espresso machines, we always ship via pallet. If you require your item to be shipped via pallet, due to the nature of our system, you will be given a selection of rates to choose from based on your location in the UK rather than a recommended cost. Please make sure you select the right rate as part of this process based on where you live. If we believe you have selected the wrong rate option, we will contact you to clarify to ensure we have the correct information before shipping. 

Offshore and Highlands and Islands:

We ship to the Scottish Highlands / Islands and Channel Islands etc using Royal Mail, Parcelforce & DHL, which have a separate set of rates to UK mainland.  Please ensure you select the correct option when purchasing.

We work to an estimate of 2-3 working day for delivery to the Scottish Highlands and 2-5 working days for delivery to all offshore locations. It can be quicker, but this is their estimated / average times.

For clarity, Scottish Highlands and Islands are covered by the following postcodes:

Scottish Highlands - AB36-38, AB55-56, FK17-21, IV1-39, IV52-54, IV63, KW1-14, PA21-40, PH19-26, PH30-41, PH49-50

Scottish Islands - HS1-9, IV40-51, IV55-56, KA27-28, KW15-17, PA20, PA41-49, PA60-78, PH42-44, ZE1-3

CHANNEL ISLANDS

If you are located in Herm, Alderney or Sark, you will need to enter Guernsey as your country location. You will then be allocated the Guernsey shipping option under the GY postcode.

If you are located in the Isle of Wight or the Scilly Isles, please choose Isle of Man from the shipping options and enter your postcode into the location finder.
