Delivery - FAQ

Can I get Free Delivery?
Yes! We're happy to offer FREE DELIVERY on orders over £60 for delivery to the UK.
There are a few exclusions, such as delivery to remote areas (’highlands & Islands’) and some bulky items (like the 22.7kg boxes of Oxbow hay), though our Shipping Estimator in the shopping cart will keep you informed with all your delivery options while you shop.
Which Courier Do You Use?
We use several different couriers so we can deliver to you as quickly as possible - and you have the option of choosing which courier we use for your delivery if you have a preference. Just select from the courier options during checkout, and you can leave delivery instructions for them too. On rare occasions, we may need to dispatch via a different courier than the one you selected because of parcel weight/size limitations. If this is the case, we will let you know.
Our current couriers include DPD, DHL (UK Mail) and ParcelForce.
I need something urgent - tomorrow/Saturday. Can you help?
Of course. We offer a Priority Dispatch service for delivery the next working day (order by 11am), and a Saturday service too (order latest 11.30pm Friday). If you've missed the cut-off time, do give us a call - if we can help, we will!
How Do I Track My Order?
If you've selected delivery by courier, our courier will send you a tracking link, and give you a delivery time estimate on the morning of your delivery. Please contact us for tracking of Royal Mail postal deliveries, and we'll be happy to send you the details.
What Do I Do if Something's Not Quite Right With My Delivery?
We're here to help, so please get in touch as soon as you can. If the box is damaged, please sign for it as damaged if the courier is still with you, and take a photo of the box and anything damaged inside the box. We'll talk you through what else is needed depending on the situation.
Do You Deliver To My Country?
We currently deliver to the UK, the EU, USA, Canada, Singapore - and we're adding to this list all the time. For a quick check, pop something into your shopping cart and view/edit shopping cart. The full list of countries we are currently shipping to will be displayed, along with available delivery options.
Do get in touch if your country is missing or you need more delivery options to your area, and we'll be happy to help.
I have an International delivery address. Are there any import duties?
There may be. Please contact your local customs office for details of any import duties or taxes that may be due. These differ from country to country and are outside of our control. We may be able to offer a 'duty already paid' delivery option in the future, and this will be available at checkout as a separate shipping option once this has been arranged.
