Heavy, bulky or large item deliveries

In the majority of cases, heavy, bulky or large items incur the delivery charges outlined above. Please note that for particularly heavy or multiple items, delivery charges may vary due to the nature of the extra postage and packing that is required. Where this applies, it will be clearly flagged in the product description and when the item is added to your basket.
