    Your medical supplies order will be processed, and you will be sent an e-mail or text notification that we have received the order and are processing it. You will then receive a second e-mail or text notifying you when the goods, have been dispatched.

      Delivery to Northern Ireland

      For deliveries up to £200 in value you can select a Royal Mail delivery service (excludes express delivery).

      For large orders over £70 to Northern Ireland you can now select courier delivery with delivery usually in 2-4 working days from dispatch for just £25.99. The price increase on the courier delivery to Northern Ireland is due to changes in customs regulations causing delays in delivery to NI following Brexit. 

      There are currently no free delivery offers for Northern Ireland. If you have any questions regarding delivery to Northern Ireland please contact  our trade team,

      European delivery 

      Since January 2021 exports from the UK to EU are now subject to import checks and EU countries may apply VAT , duty and fees associated with the import. As a result of this all of the international delivery services to the EU are much slower than they used to be due to delays caused by the new customs regulations for deliveries from UK to EU.

      Customers who wish to order from outside the UK, will now need to order offline through our trade team, and arrange their own courier collection from our warehouses for delivery, to their country. Their is a minimum order value for this of service of £100.
