We're happy to help with any questions or concerns. Please contact us via email or phone, and we'll respond within 48 hours. Please note that enquiries received on Fridays will be answered the following Monday.

What is the delivery time for made-to-order items?

Many of our resin and specialist items are cast to order in batches. Please allow up to 7 days for made-to-order items to be fulfilled. We'll confirm the expected delivery date when you place your order.

Can I backorder out-of-stock items?

Yes, backorders are available for selected items—the product page will indicate if this option is available. Simply add the desired quantity to your basket, and you'll only be charged for what we can supply. Our system will manage the backorder automatically.

We currently deliver to the United Kingdom. For enquiries about shipping to other destinations, please contact us directly. We're working to expand our international shipping options.
