UK Customer Delivery - £3.50
Orders are usually dispatched same day or next working day
For delivery to UK customers we use ParcelForce 48 delivery service for most orders. Where an item is smaller and lighter we often use RoyalMail First Class "signed for" delivery service. Our standard cost for Postage and Packing is £3.50 on all orders (inc VAT).
Where the customer requires a faster delivery we also have ParcelForce 24 delivery service, which is only £10 (inc VAT) and can be selected at checkout.
Please note that all deliveries will require a signature.
Estimated Delivery Times
If we have the products you have ordered in stock, we can usually despatch them on the same day or the next working day, so you should expect to receive them between 1 and 5 days after placing your order, depending on where you live (see table above). If you place your order over the weekend, it may take a bit longer.
When we have to order the product from the manufacturer we will send you regular updates via e-mail on the status of your order, and will provide you with an expected delivery date as soon as we can.
CheapTents do NOT charge your debit/credit card until your products are dispatched.
Below is a table showing our estimated delivery times from dispatch. Also shown is the delivery service that we normally use. Please note that for items that are small, lightweight and low value we may use RoyalMail First Class "signed for" delivery service.
