Evening Delivery details and terms and conditions of service

When you choose Evening Delivery items are delivered on the same day you place your order. Qualifying orders must be placed before the deadline displayed on the product detail page and dispatched to an eligible address. If the order is placed after the deadline, your order will be delivered the next business day. If the Evening Delivery option doesn't appear, the order isn't eligible for Evening Delivery. Item eligibility is indicated on the product detail page and during checkout.

Currently, this service is available for areas within the M25 Circular Motorway around London and certain post codes in Birmingham, Manchester, Liverpool, Nottingham, Sheffield, Leeds, Edinburgh, Glasgow, Bristol and Cardiff in the United Kingdom. For a full list of eligible post codes click here. We hope to be able to offer this service to more customers in the future.

We recommended that you include a phone number that you can be contacted on, as part of your delivery address so that the Carrier will be able to contact you if needed. Please ensure that you always check the parcel before you accept it from the Carrier. When the parcel arrives, please check that there's no damage to the outer packaging. If there is damage to the other packaging please either refuse delivery or sign for the parcel as damaged.

When will I receive my order?

  • Deliveries will be made between 18:30 and 21:30 Monday to Friday and between 14:30 and 17:30 on Saturdays and Sundays.
  • A Signature will be required.
  • If you're not at home when the delivery attempt is made a card will be left with a phone number for you to contact for a re-delivery.

Evening Delivery and 1-Click ordering
