Please be advised that we will be closed over the festive period from Friday 20th December to Monday 6th January 2025.
We will endeavour to ensure all orders placed before the shutdown are dispatched in time for Christmas, however, due to high demand and courier delays during this busy period, we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas for orders placed close to the shutdown date.
Orders placed during the shutdown period will be processed as soon as we reopen on 6th January 2025.
