Please note: Orders placed on a Friday that qualify for Next (Working) Day Delivery may be received on either Saturday or Monday, depending on your local postal service. For customers based in areas such as the Scottish Highlands, the Outer Hebrides, and other rural or remote areas, it may take longer to receive your order due to transport logistics.
UPS
Orders heavier than 1.8 KG will be sent via the UPS courier service. Typically this service is used for ordering large quantities of silver that surpass the weight limit for dispatches with the Royal Mail but not the value limit of our insurance.
For orders above the 1.8 KG limit we need to have received your funds by 1pm in order to guarantee next day delivery. Please note that UPS will deliver any time between 8am and 8pm.
What if I'm not home to sign for my package?
Royal Mail: Deliveries by your local postal worker will be attempted by 9pm, unless you have specified a 9am guaranteed delivery. We issue a tracking number to all customers receiving Next Day Delivery when the Royal Mail collect from us of an evening. This will allow you to see where your package is at any given time.
In the event nobody is home to sign for your delivery, a red card/slip will be left to indicate attempted delivery. The parcel will then be taken back to your nearest Sorting Office to await collection or re-delivery.
Courier: Deliveries by courier services such as UPS take place between 8am and 8pm weekdays. Orders are trackable, but the courier services cannot provide more accurate delivery details. If the courier is unable to hand the goods over to you they will try a further two times (consecutive days) before returning your order to us.
All parcels will remain fully insured until signed for.
