Postage & Delivery
At BMS we despatch goods worldwide although the majority of our orders are from UK based customers. Our online shopping cart will calculate the cost of deliveries within Europe and beyond. A quick cost estimation is shown just above this text on the right and you can select your country from the drop-down list. If you are a registered customer and login then this updates automatically for your region or postcode.
Web orders courier service cost
We use tracked and insured couriers and prices start at £5.99+vat for a single package for standard UK mainland delivery.
Standard courier
Standard costs of courier start at £5.99 +vat for a next day delivery service from dispatch from BMS and you will receive tracking information automatically once your goods are ready to dispatch.
Tracking
We aim to dispatch all goods the same day the order is received (cut off time 15:30) but this is not guaranteed. Goods are generally sent on a next working day service and should, under normal circumstances be received the next working day following the day we dispatch. Please note that this is not always the same day that the your order is received but we do our best to dispatch as soon as possible. If you urgently need same day dispatch then we have a Priority Delivery service for an additional cost.
Dispatch
You will receive tracking information from us once your goods are sent through the courier network so long as we have your current email address and mobile number. If you require a same day dispatch to be guaranteed (prior to cut off time) then please select the “priority despatch” option during checkout (there is an additional charge to prioritise your order).
Surcharge
Some parts of the UK incur a surcharge because of the distance to delivery. The current surcharge areas are shown in blue on the image and typically include the Isle of Mann, Isles of Scilly, Scottish Highlands & Islands, Northern Ireland and the Isle of Wight. The surcharge affects specific post codes and our shopping cart will automatically work out the delivery price based on your postcode or region in the world.
Examples of courier rates
Up to 30kg £5.99 +vat
Orders over 30kg will incur an extra box charge
Up to 30kg £15.00 +vat
For overseas orders we use Road Freight Couriers and goods are normally dispatched within 24 hours of the orders being received and full tracking information is sent as soon as the goods are collected from us.
Our shopping cart calculates the approximate weight of your order and depending on how heavy the total shopping trolley is you are given a number of delivery options. A signature will be required when the goods are delivered as we use tracked couriers as our delivery option.
We can offer a Pre-Noon and a Saturday morning delivery service but these are much more expensive. Please contact us if you require a Saturday delivery.
We will always try to process your order the same day and the vast majority of our orders do go the same day that they are received subject to stock availability. If you require your order urgently and the same day dispatch is essential to you then please tick the ‘priority dispatch’ option in the shopping cart and a surcharge will be added. If we are unable to dispatch the same day you will be notified by email and the additional charge will not apply.
The total courier cost that you will incur will depend on the weight of your order that we send.
