Delivery
Do you charge for delivery?
All AKW products come with FREE UK mainland delivery. For other brands, the delivery charge is shown at checkout before you pay.
Where do you deliver?
We deliver to UK mainland addresses. Deliveries to the Scottish Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland may carry a surcharge. We'll contact you before dispatch if so.
How quickly will my order arrive?
Lead times vary by brand and are shown on each product page. AKW stock items ordered before 2pm are dispatched the same working day for next working day delivery. Stock availability is confirmed at the point of order.
Can I collect my order?
AKW orders can be collected free of charge from the AKW Trade Counter in Droitwich (Mon–Fri, 8am–5pm). Choose "Pickup" at checkout. We'll email you your collection reference and date, which you'll need to quote at the gate.
Do you deliver outside the UK?
Our checkout is UK-only, but we can often arrange overseas delivery. Contact us with your order and address, and we'll give you a delivery quote and lead time.
What if my delivery arrives damaged?
Check your delivery when it arrives, and tell us about any damage or wrong items within 24 hours of delivery so we can put it right quickly.
Returns
Can I return something I don't need?
Yes, within 28 days. Unwanted items carry a collection charge, and if the item isn't in its original packaging there may also be a restocking charge. These vary by brand, so contact us first and we'll confirm the cost before arranging collection.
What if I've been sent the wrong item?
Contact us within 24 hours of delivery and we'll arrange a replacement at no cost to you.
