Shipping policy
Free UK Delivery
We offer free standard UK delivery on 97% of our products. Standard free-shipping parcels are sent via Royal Mail 48-hour tracked delivery.
Next Day Delivery
Next Day Delivery orders are sent via DPD, with full tracking details provided.
The exception — 1-metre rigid profiles
A small range of approximately 21 products — our 1-metre rigid aluminium and PVC profiles — carries a delivery charge. These items are too long for our standard free-shipping service: Royal Mail cannot accept a parcel longer than 45 cm, and a 1-metre profile far exceeds that limit.
Because of their length these profiles are shipped by DPD courier, not Evri. We moved this range to DPD after Evri’s parcel loss rate and damage rate on long items became unacceptably high — DPD gives these orders the protection and tracking they need to arrive intact.
For these 1-metre profiles, delivery is charged at checkout:
- £6.95 — 1 to 2 working days (DPD), on orders under £90
- FREE next-day delivery when your order total is £90 or more
- Timed and Saturday upgrades are available at checkout
All other orders continue to qualify for our standard free Royal Mail 48-hour delivery.
2-metre profiles — delivery is always charged
Our 2-metre aluminium LED strip profiles are a long, rigid, oversized parcel. They cannot travel on any standard parcel service, so they go on a dedicated long-goods service and delivery on 2-metre profiles is never free, whatever the order value.
- £19.85 — every order containing a 2-metre profile, at any order value. Free-delivery thresholds do not apply to these items.
- If your basket contains a 2-metre profile alongside anything else, the 2-metre delivery charge applies to the whole order.
- This applies however much you spend. There is no order value at which a 2-metre profile ships free. For example:
- 2-metre profile on its own — £19.85
- 2-metre profile + 1-metre profiles, order over £90 — £19.85
- 2-metre profile + LED neon flex, order over £90 — £19.85
- 2-metre profile + any other products, order over £90 — £19.85
- No 2-metre profile in the basket — our normal free-delivery rules apply
- Next-day and timed services are not available on 2-metre profiles.

Delivery Process
We aim to keep you informed all the way through the delivery process. Once your order has been received, you will receive an automatic email confirming that your order is pending and another once the goods have been despatched.
If we are out of stock we will contact you within 2 working days to give you the option of waiting or cancelling part or all of the order (unless we are expecting stock within a reasonable timeframe).
Any customers who have paid for next day or courier next day will be contacted by phone/email the same working day if we are unable to fulfil the order in any way. In these circumstances, we will send the goods by your chosen method as soon as they come back into stock – as long as you agree to this.
What happens if items go missing in the post? (UK only)
Our parcel delivery rate is 99.9%, we use a tracked delivery service and provide you with the tracking information so you can track your parcel.
If you suspect your item has gone missing in the post please allow 14 working days to pass from the date of posting, we will put a claim in with Royal Mail to investigate and issue you a replacement in the meantime. Please Note: we cannot send orders to non-fixed addresses i.e ships.
