Free Shipping over £45

International Shipping - Tax
Global shipping and import taxes:
The buyer is responsible for understanding and paying any import tax or national VAT due when purchasing from outside the UK. We are a very small UK based company which ships globally and our goal is to give you the best possible price for each of our products - we do this by running a low margin. However, sadly the recent Brexit and subsequent import and export policy changes mean European buyers may need to pay additional tax on entry to your country. If this is the case, you will be notified by email or letter with the amount due, so please keep an eye out for emails from regional postal services
Delivery Time-scales
Order processing time is typically same-day (cutoff 2pm BST).
Shipping from our regional warehouses is typically 1-3 days
Shipping from the UK to another country is typically 5-10 days, subject to import procedures
Shipping
For Picks, we ship to the UK, all EU countries, US states, Canada, Australia and Japan. Shipping rates are calculated at checkout. We will endeavour to ship from our warehouses within your region where stock is available.
Our guitars are shipped to the UK and USA only. Shipping rates for the UK are included in the price of the product, shipping rates for the USA will be confirmed on interest

Item lost in post
It hasn't happened to us yet... but it is inevitable that in the millions of letters sent every day, things could go missing. We capture proof of postage on all deliveries and will do our best to track down your parcel, however we can only track items whereabouts if you purchased signed delivery. If your delivery is missing our process for handling missing deliveries is from the point of complaint:
Wk1 - Confirm dispatch date
Wk2-4 - wait for any possible returns due to wrong address or other factors. If your address is incorrectly entered into our system, the delivery will eventually be returned to us if within the UK and potentially destroyed by customs if abroad. If returned, at our discretion you may be required to pay additional postage to re-send. If destroyed you will be liable for repurchase, at our discretion.
Wk5 - Query the postal service and if necessary open a case for refund. From this we will await the outcome and if accepted we will return the refund to yourself.
If you order via Amazon, you need to adhere to their returns policy
