2. Free delivery
2.1 We offer free standard delivery to all mainland UK addresses on all orders over GBP 100 (including VAT). A small number of products are excluded from this offer due to shipping restrictions (size/weight etc.) but these are clearly marked in the product description.

3.3 Due to shipping restrictions imposed by our delivery service provider's, on occasion we may not be able to fulfil part or all of an order due to the geographical location of the delivery address. On these occasions we will contact the customer directly to discuss either cancelling/amending the order or arranging alternative shipping methods (we reserve the right to charge for alternative shipping services should they be agreed).
4. Delivery methods and periods
4.1 The methods that we use to deliver our products, and the time periods within which delivery is usually completed, are as follows:
(a) We aim to ship all United Kingdom Mainland orders within 2 working days of receipt (with the exception of orders containing special order items, please see section 4.3 for more details). Dependant on the size and weight of the final order shipping options may include Royal Mail or a courier service (excludes weekends).
(b) If your delivery address is on the United Kingdom mainland and you select Royal Mail , the typical period for delivery of products by this method is 1-3 working days.
(c) If your delivery address is on the United Kingdom mainland and you select Courier Service, the typical period for delivery of products by this method is 1-2 working days.
4.2 If you place your order before 3.30pm on a working day, these time periods run from the close of business on that day; if you place your order after 3.30pm on a working day, or on a non-working day, these time periods run from the close of business on the next following working day.
4.3 Orders containing items marked on our website as Special Order will be dispatched once the items in question have been ordered and arrived into stock at Selectric. The time frame given in days (e.g. Special Order 3 - 5 days) indicates the approximate number of working days the item will take to arrive into our stock and should be factored in addition to the delivery periods detailed in section 4.1. In most cases unless expressly requested and agreed an order containing both stocked and special order items will be shipped only once the complete order is available in our stock. If for any reason a special order item is delayed or unavailable we will inform you immediately and you will be given the option to amend or cancel your order.
