Shipping and Payment Information
This page provides a summary of our shipping and payment arrangements. Full terms governing your purchase are set out in our Terms and Conditions of Sale (available for both consumer and business customers on our website).
Shipping
Processing time
Orders are typically processed and dispatched within 1–2 business days of payment being received. Orders placed on weekends or UK public holidays will be processed on the next working day.
During busy periods (such as around major amateur radio events or the Christmas period), processing times may occasionally be longer. If a significant delay is expected, we will contact you.
Shipping methods and costs
We use Royal Mail, DPD, and other reputable couriers depending on order size, weight, and destination. Shipping costs are calculated at checkout and displayed before you confirm your order.
For larger or heavier items (such as amplifiers or power supplies), a specialist courier service may be required. If this applies, we will confirm the shipping cost before dispatch.
UK delivery times
• Standard Delivery: 2–4 working days
• Express Delivery: 1–2 working days
These timescales are estimates provided by our carriers and are not guaranteed. Actual delivery times may vary due to carrier delays, adverse weather, or other factors beyond our control.
If your order has not arrived within 30 days of our order confirmation, you have the right to cancel and receive a full refund. Please see our Consumer Terms and Conditions of Sale (clause 6.2) or contact us for assistance.
International shipping
We ship worldwide. International delivery times vary depending on destination and customs clearance procedures.
Important: International customers are responsible for any import duties, taxes, customs charges, or brokerage fees levied by the destination country. These charges are not included in our prices or shipping costs and are outside our control.
For business customers ordering from outside the UK, delivery terms will be specified on your order acknowledgement. Please refer to our Business Terms and Conditions of Sale (clause 10) for full details on export orders.
Order tracking
Where available, we will provide tracking details by email once your order has been dispatched. For Royal Mail services without tracking, we will confirm the dispatch date.
Delivery address
Please ensure the delivery address you provide at checkout is complete and correct. We cannot accept responsibility for delays or non-delivery caused by incomplete or incorrect address information provided by you.
If no one is available to accept delivery, the carrier will follow their standard process (which may include leaving a card, attempting redelivery, or holding the parcel at a local collection point). Please check your tracking information for details.
Damaged or missing deliveries
If your order arrives damaged, or if items are missing from your delivery, please contact us as soon as possible. For full details of your rights regarding faulty, damaged, or incorrect goods, please see our Returns Policy.
