Delivery Times - How Long Will It Take to Get My Order?

We try to get orders sent out as fast as possible and usually will dispatch orders the same day we receive them (see When Will My Order Be Sent?).  However, once we hand them over to the delivery company, we must rely on their service to get the goods to you.  The table below provides some guidance on typical delivery times according to the postage service you selected on your order.
