Shipping and Returns

Delivery Information

We supply a wide range of products, from small components weighing only a few grams through to bulk materials delivered by the tonne. Because of this, delivery is calculated based on the products in your basket and your delivery location, rather than a single flat rate.

How delivery is worked out

Delivery is based on the products ordered, their size and handling requirements, and the delivery location. The most suitable delivery method is selected automatically at checkout.
