Please note: All online orders (standard, FREE and express) are only dispatched Monday to Friday, during the working week. We do not send out orders over the weekend, or during bank holidays. Thank you.

UK Delivery

We usually dispatch all UK orders within 2-3 working days (no orders are dispatched on Saturday or Sunday, or bank holidays).

Royal Mail Tracked 48 and FREE delivery orders then take a further 2-3 days to arrive with customers, depending on your local depot.

All UK and Channel Islands deliveries now have a flat shipping cost of £4.95 with Royal Mail Tracked 48. UK and Channel Islands orders over £40 qualify for FREE Standard Shipping/Royal Mail Tracked 48. 

Express Shipping/Royal Mail Tracked 24 to the same locations is £7.95 and will be dispatched the same working day (Monday to Friday, excluding bank holidays) if placed before 1pm. Express orders placed after 1pm on Friday, will be dispatched on the following Monday, unless it's a bank holiday.

All orders are shipped in DCUK branded boxes. If you are sending a gift and would like an unbranded box, just pop us a note at the checkout.

EU Delivery

Shipping to countries within the EU is £11.95 for Zone 1 and £19.95 for Zone 2. The relevant zone will be displayed as part of the checkout. Please allow 1 week for delivery. 

At the moment, some orders may incur local Import Duty and taxes, which you may be asked to pay on delivery of your order. Unfortunately, due to an increase in customer complaints around unexpected fees, we’ve had to remove certain countries from our delivery options as a short-term solution while we work on finding a more reliable long-term fix. In the meantime we’ll do what we can to help, but DCUK cannot be held responsible for these charges.

International Delivery

For deliveries to the USA, it's £9.95. Please allow up to 1 week from the date of dispatch for delivery with any USA orders.

For the Rest of the World, it’s £24.95. Please allow up to 2 weeks from the date of dispatch for delivery with any international orders. 

As with our European customers, some orders incur local Import Duty and taxes, which you may be asked to pay on delivery of your order. Unfortunately, due to an increase in customer complaints around unexpected fees, we’ve had to remove certain countries from our delivery options as a short-term solution while we work on finding a more reliable long-term fix.
