1.1   For all orders successfully placed before 16:00 (GMT/BST, Monday to Friday, excluding Bank Holidays and Public Holidays), items are picked and packed for dispatch the same day.

1.2   Goods to be delivered within the UK are dispatched via overnight courier for next working day delivery.  However, due to the relatively remote location of certain UK postcode areas, next working day delivery cannot be provided to all areas.  Based on the postcode specified for your delivery address, the LabShop website checkout will automatically advise you of the courier service(s) available in your area prior to requiring payment.

1.3   Delivery is free on all orders with a combined product value over £150.00 (exclusive of VAT) when either of the following courier services are selected:  “UK England & Wales - Next Working Day Standard” and “UK Scottish Lowlands - Next Working Day Standard”.  Delivery to postcode areas not covered by these two courier services is chargeable, as are all express delivery options - charges vary depending on the geographic location of the delivery address and speed of delivery required.  The LabShop website checkout will clearly state the delivery charge associated to the courier service selected prior to requiring payment.

1.4   Delivery is chargeable on all orders with a combined product value under £150.00 (exclusive of VAT).  Delivery charges start at £12.50 (exclusive of VAT), but vary depending on the geographic location of the delivery address and speed of delivery required.  Based on the postcode specified for your delivery address, the LabShop website checkout will automatically advise you of the courier service(s) available in your area and the associated costs prior to requiring payment.
