Shipping
Orders are dispatched same or next working day. We mainly use Royal Mail envelopes and parcels.
These have an estimated delivery of the following working days: 1-2 UK, 3-5 Europe & 6-7 worldwide.
Ordering merch may take longer as it is made to order.
If you can’t see a shipping option at checkout, please email and we can sort out an invoice.
If the shipping option mentions tracking you can expect a tracking link in your dispatch email.
Customs
When ordering from outside of the UK you may see some delays as parcels go through customs – you should expect to see some customs fees which will vary from country to country and you are responsible for these.
We now charge a customs duty for all US customers at checkout due to new tariff rules, this has come in to effect from 29th August 2025.
Returns & refunds
Returns / refunds are handled on a case-by-case basis – reply to your order email if you wish to return a product, ideally with photos and details. If a product does not work on arrival or in initial testing we are likely to be able to replace it free of charge. We are unlikely to accept returns/refunds any product used in battle. Please note that shipping charges are not refundable.
