Shipping & Delivery
Every order is carefully packed and dispatched from the UK, usually within 1–3 working days. Shipping charges are calculated using the recorded item weights and the packaging weight, so the chargeable parcel weight may be slightly higher than a specimen’s listed weight.
🇬🇧 United Kingdom
| Total order weight | Standard shipping |
|---|---|
| Under 2 kg | £4.95 |
| 2 kg to under 3 kg | £6.00 |
| 3 kg to 5 kg | £8.00 |
| Over 5 kg | £10.00 |
For orders under 2 kg, Express delivery is also available for £6.00. We typically use Royal Mail Tracked 48 / Tracked 24 for smaller UK parcels and a tracked courier service for larger or heavier specimens. UK delivery generally takes approximately 2–5 business days after dispatch, depending on service and destination; small-parcel Express delivery is typically 1–2 business days after dispatch.
🌍 International Delivery
United States: Estimated delivery 5–10 business days after dispatch, excluding any customs or carrier delays.
Smaller parcels are generally shipped using Royal Mail International Tracked services. Larger, heavier or delicate specimens may be shipped using a tracked courier such as FedEx, UPS, DPD or Parcelforce. International shipping rates are calculated at checkout based on destination and total order weight. Orders containing multiple heavy pieces may be split into more than one parcel.
All shipping estimates exclude processing time and may be affected by customs checks, public holidays or carrier disruption. Tracking information is emailed after dispatch. Customs duties, import taxes or other destination charges may apply.
