Most items are available immediately while others are made to order and will therefore be subject to longer lead times to despatch.

If an item you have your eye on disappears don’t panic! Unless discontinued or a unique find, it may simply have gone out of stock.

Order Processing/Cancellation

Orders placed on weekends or public holidays will be processed during the next business day. Orders placed after 1pm (UK time) on business days will begin processing on the following business day. Our suppliers endeavour to despatch in stock items within one working day of your order being placed, however during busier periods this may take a little longer.

You will receive a further email from us to inform you when your item has shipped. Depending on the despatch method, you may receive tracking/delivery updates from the supplier’s third party courier service with regards to delivery (see below for more information). All items will require a signature on delivery.

Regional Delivery Charges

Where possible we try to absorb a proportion of the delivery costs to all of the regions we serve, within our product pricing structures. To keep things simple, we offer flat rate delivery charges for each of the regions we serve, on a per order basis. If you order multiple items within a single order, only one delivery charge will be applied to the total, according to your delivery region. We currently deliver most products to the countries and regions listed below within the following timescales.

delivery to MAINLAND UK – NO ADDITIONAL CHARGE  [3-5 business days] with some exceptions*

DELIVERY TO UK OFFSHORE IS £10 PER ORDER [3-7 BUSINESS DAYS] – SEE LIST OF REGIONS BELOW

Delivery to MAINLAND Europe is  £20 per order [3-7 business days]  – see country list below

Delivery to MAINLAND US & Canada is £50 per order [5-10 business days] WITH SOME EXCEPTIONS*

*Exceptions to ‘UK delivery without any additional charge’, include UK offshore (see separate delivery charge stated above), expedited delivery (if this is an option for your chosen item/s) and delivery of non-standard products (i.e. products that are considered to be extremely fragile, high value, large, heavy, or something that has exceptional delivery requirements). Non-standard products may require a specialist courier service. If your product falls within this category, this will be stated on the relevant product page under the ‘Delivery Options’ tab and you may need to call us directly to request a shipping quote. Longer lead times may also apply. At present, we are unable to deliver certain floor and table lamps to mainland US/Canada. If this is the case, it will be noted under the ‘Delivery Options’ tab on the relevant product page.

European countries we currently serve are: Austria, Belgium, Denmark, France, Germany, Greece, Ireland, Italy, Luxembourg, Netherlands, Norway, Poland, Portugal, Spain, Sweden, Switzerland. Whilst customs duties or import/sales taxes are not applied on items sold to residents of EU member states, duties and additional taxes (i.e. import VAT) may be payable on receipt of packages delivered to countries outside this economic area (N.B. some of the European countries we serve are not EU member states). In such cases, customers are responsible for the payment of any such duties and taxes which may become payable on entry to the relevant country, prior to delivery of goods to their end destination.

Although we do not routinely offer goods for sale to addresses outside of: the United Kingdom; the European countries listed above; mainland United States; and, Canada, it is very much our ambition to do so.

We will endeavour to source the best possible shipping solutions and rates to meet your needs.

Method of Despatch

Most products are dispatched direct from our suppliers. Orders are delivered by Royal Mail or by parcel courier. Some larger items may require specialist carriers (this will be detailed under the ‘Delivery Options’ tab on the relevant product page). Shipping times can therefore vary within the above time frames, and orders containing more than one product may arrive in multiple packages, at different times.

Depending on the despatch method, you may receive further delivery updates from our supplier’s third party courier service either by text, telephone or email with regards to delivery. All items will require a signature on delivery. If you miss a delivery, the relevant courier company will either attempt re-delivery on a consecutive day, contact you directly to arrange re-delivery or leave a note asking you to call to arrange re-delivery. If re-delivery is unsuccessful and the item is returned back to us/our supplier, we may need to charge you, in order for to instruct a new delivery. Should you have any difficulties or issues with regards to the delivery of your items, don’t hesitate to contact us either by phone Monday to Friday, 9.30am to 5.30pm on 01753 384 295 or alternatively by email at info@telescopestyle.com and we will do our best to assist and resolve the situation.
