All parcels now sent on a trackable service.
*If you add larger items not included in the list the shipping charge will revert to our standard shipping for regular parcels.
Highlands & Islands are defined as those UK address with a postcode in the following range: AB36-38, AB55-56, BT, FK17 - FK21, HS1-9, IM, IV, KA27-28, KW1-17, PA20-78, PH19-50, TR21-25, ZE.
Channel Islands have the postcodes: GY & JE
Royal mail have a universal charge for all of the UK, but the couriers have different charges for certain areas. We can send small light parcels by Royal Mail and therefore charge the same rate as UK Mainland. If an order contains any kind of solvent based product, eg. Oil paints or mediums, we have to send the parcel by courier.
For heavier/larger parcels, or those containing items which Royal Mail will not take, we use a courier. All couriers impose charges around two to three times more than the normal cost of shipping to the UK mainland for post code areas listed above. For this reason we have to add an extra charge towards this cost.
For certain extra large items, eg. some studio easels, there may be an additional charge on top of the price shown on the website. In these circumstances we will contact you directly to let you know.
Unfortunately at this time we do not have an express service to the highlands & islands or the Channel Islands.
