When we Post or Ship 

We post most weekdays Monday to Friday. This means that a parcel ordered before 14.00 hrs on Friday may reach a UK destination Saturday morning. This wholly depends on the enthusiasm of your local postman and is NOT guaranteed. Expect a delivery Monday.

Orders to be shipped via DPD that are placed by 4.00pm on a Friday will arrive on Monday (that is also not a bank holiday) providing you are on the English mainland. 

We do not ship or post on Saturdays because the carriers do not collect from us. Neither do we post or ship on Sundays because we are probably in : Bed | Church | The Pub* (*delete where applicable) . 

Saturday DPD deliveries will only work if you place your order before 3.00pm on the preceding Friday.

Sunday DPD deliveries will only work if you place your order before 3.00pm on the preceding Friday.

Please note! None of the above deadlines are guaranteed. There are too many humans involved in the process to ensure 100% efficiency.

Buying From Outside of the UK

When purchasing from outside of the United Kingdom charges may be levied by your local government by way of import duty and or taxes. These charges vary from region to region and can change without warning. It is the responsibility of YOU the customer to make yourself aware of any charges that may be imposed. We will under no circumstances accept liability for any charges for return or destruction of goods ordered. If you are not prepared to pay your local import duty and or charges, please do not buy. 

Shipping Charges

Here at Eurocarcare we do try to be realistic with carriage charges. We do not consider delivery to be another profit opportunity but just a necessary part of the service. In an effort to do our bit for the environment (and to save money of course) we do try hard to recycle packaging wherever possible. 

In days gone by we also offered international air mail. This is still possible by prior arrangement. The reason we no longer offer the service is due to the unreliability and length of time it took for items to arrive. Virtually every time an order was placed we would have you sending disgruntled emails enquiring as to why it was taking so long for your parcel to arrive. Well, the reason is that jets are faster than bicycles. Our preferred international carriers are TNT and as such all deliveries outside of the British Isles will default to them. Please bear in mind that deliveries into Europe via economy service will take a little longer than express.

If you absolutely insist for whatever reason that we ship via a postal service this can be carried out by arrangement. Please note that by agreeing to our terms and conditions you will be relinquishing Eurocarcare Ltd and it's employees of ALL and ANY liability regarding issues involving transit of goods via any agent other than TNT International, DPD. This caveat includes, but is not limited to:

• Delays in delivery of any kind whatsoever
• Damage to package or goods within of any kind
• Total loss.

In effect, by agreeing to our terms and conditions the risk is entirely YOURS 

Royal Mail (Cut off 15.00 hrs GMT)

DPD Deliveries (Cut off 14:00 hrs GMT)

DPD shipments are completely trackable during transit and for most UK destinations will arrive next working day. DPD will require a signatory on delivery of the package. 

DPD are happy to follow additional instructions such as "If no reply leave at number 29" etc. If this is impractical for any reason, DPD will redeliver. Again, they will leave a card with instructions on arranging a re-delivery at no extra charge.

DPD make every effort to deliver on time and have an enviable track record for on-time shipments. However, errors can occur and occasionally situations that are out of our control can cause delays.
