Orders that you want delivered in time for Christmas should be placed before 2PM* on Thursday the 22nd with “Courier: Mon to Fri” delivery selected. We regret that the “last orders” deadline for pre-Christmas delivery has now passed. Existing courier orders placed before the deadline will normally be delivered on or before Friday the 23rd.
The table below gives the delivery dates for “Courier: Mon to Fri” service (i.e. Next Working Day, Monday to Friday). Note that there is no “Saturday Morning” courier service available on the 24th, as our delivery company is closed- “Saturday morning” delivery is available on the 31st (i.e New Year’s Eve / Hogmanay).
These dates only apply to the UK Mainland (excluding Scottish Highlands) delivery area. We regret that the Christmas deadline has now passed for other delivery areas.
* Orders placed after 2PM will normally go out on the next working day instead.

There are two things to consider when buying batteries. One is the size and shape of it- most devices only accept one size of battery, so that’s usually not an issue. However, another choice is the type of technology that powers it. For example, the common AA battery size is available in zinc carbon/zinc chloride, alkaline, lithium and NiCd and NiMH rechargeable forms. Each of these battery types offers advantages and disadvantages. Read on to find out more. [Read More]
