(from our terms & conditions)

7. Production and Delivery Times 

7.1 Production shall be deemed to begin when the following conditions are met: payment has been made, artwork has been uploaded and accepted and the order has been confirmed (except where credit terms have been agreed). If these events take place after 5pm (11am for Same Day Service) on a production day, production will be deemed to begin on the next production day. Your order confirmation will contain an estimated delivery date based upon the nature of your order, which is typically the next working day after production is completed.

7.1.1 Unless there are exceptional circumstances, your Products will be dispatched for delivery on the last production day in accordance with the production service chosen by you during the ordering process:

7.1.2 Saver: typically 4 production days.

7.1.3 Standard: typically 2 production days.

7.1.4 Express+: typically 1 production day.

7.1.5 Same Day: typically dispatched on the first production day.

7.1.6 Please note larger quantities and items that require complex finishing – e.g. folding, creasing, binding, stitching, and die-cutting – will require longer production time. We will inform you of the production time for your order at the point of order and delivery date in your confirmation email.

7.2 After production, we dispatch all finished orders by courier for next day delivery. Some postcodes, including Northern Ireland (BT), the Scottish Highlands & Islands (AB31-38, AB41-45, AB51-56, FK19-21, HS, IV, KA27-28, KW, PA20-88, PH5-10, PH15-26, PH30-44, ZE), Isle of Man (IM), or Isle of Wight (PO31-41) may take between 3 and 5 working days, and may incur an extra charge.
