To keep costs to a minimum standard and economy delivery generally takes advantage of couriers services which are sometimes slightly slower than our express option. Items which are only available for standard delivery are also subject to stock transfers from reserve warehouses, this transfer will generally take between 2 and 5 working weekdays depending on the individual item. If you require an order for a specific date we recommend you contact our customer services team for further advice as we cannot guarantee the exact delivery time or date of any standard or economy delivery order.
