I know that many of you reading this have been affected by the volcanic ash from Iceland which is being distributed around the world. Of course this has had a major effect on International Deliveries being sent via the various global courier companies. We have been very fortunate, so far, in that only one of our shipments has been delayed.
We send shipments via various carriers and also many of our European shipments are sent via Road & Sea. If your goods aren’t urgent then this is a very economical method and also, of course, isn’t affected by volcanic ash whatsoever. Indeed if this situation is ongoing then maybe it would be advisable for many more people to use this route. There is greatly reduced uncertainty regarding arrival time and can still be fairly fast. For example France, Germany, Belgium, Netherlands and Luxembourg are usually delivered within 3 working days from date of despatch. The price for these five countries is only £21 + VAT for each parcel with a maximum weight of 31kgs. Other European destinations are available so please ask.
