Logistics, Couriers & Shipping
No-one likes shipping charges but as it is a necessary evil we pride ourselves on working closely with our delivery and distribution partners to ensure our products arrive promptly, safely and on time.
Because we are hands on we endeavour to pack orders into the least number of cartons therefore ensuring that shipping costs are kept to the minimum. With no minimum order, delivery charges into most mainland British Isles Post Codes start at £6.95 (exc VAT) and orders over £200 (Ex VAT) are Free of Charge (most addresses in mainland British Isles). Mainland UK delivery for orders under £50 (exVAT) incur a £3 surcharge, and premium shipping rate 'Next Working Day' if ordered before 1pm options incur a £5 surcharge.
Carriage and shipping charges vary by destination, carton quantity, weight and size so we obtain quotes for deliveries to all other destinations and can assure you that they are very competitively priced. Please contact us for prices and transit times.
Orders are normally dispatched from our warehouse 1-3 business days (Sometimes longer during seasonal periods and during promotions) Normal delivery is between 24-48 hours (UK) and Express delivery (next day by 9, 10, Midday etc.) can be arranged for an extra cost. Orders going abroad take slightly longer and all larger orders (pallets) are normally delivered in 2 - 3 days.
Orders shipped to UK Mainland addresses will be accompanied, on the morning of the scheduled delivery, by notification via text and/or email of the designated one hour delivery window. Please note that any time-specific delivery aims are provided independently of Sparks Gift Wholesalers (LLP) standard delivery service, and are instead provided by our chosen 3rd party courier. Neither Sparks Gift Wholesalers (LLP), nor any 3rd party courier or affiliate, may be held liable for any losses incurred resulting from deliveries provided outside of the designated target delivery window, nor any miscommunication associated with such a window.
