Ordering & Shipping

How long does delivery take?

UK mainland delivery normally takes 2–4 working days. We'll get your order dispatched as quickly as possible and provide tracking information where available.

Do you ship outside the UK?

We currently only offer online ordering and delivery within the UK. For other locations, please contact us to discuss your requirements.

What are the shipping costs?

Standard delivery charges are calculated at checkout. UK mainland delivery is FREE on orders over £100.

Additional charges may apply to the Scottish Highlands, islands and other remote locations.

Due to its size and shape, Build-Fast requires specialist packaging and handling, so a separate delivery charge applies and it is excluded from our standard free-delivery-over-£100 offer.
