Delivery Info
Free Delivery
All UK mainland orders are eligable for free delivery, simply choose the default "Free Delivery" option during the checkout process.
For delivery costs outside the UK Mainland, including Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands, please continue to the checkout and select your delivery country to see the shipping cost.
(You don't have to complete the order if you think the shipping fee is too high!)
Delivery Times - In Stock - Same Day Dispatch.
When an item shows a delivery time of 1-3 Days it is in stock here at Zovelo HQ ready for immediate dispatch.
Most items are sent via Royal Mail and will usually need to be signed for on delivery, but don't worry, if there's no one home a card will be left with instructions to arrange either a re-delivery or collect from your local sorting office.
Royal Mail first class parcels usually arrive within 48 hours of being posted, but can sometimes take longer. To guarantee delivery within 2 working days please select the "Royal Mail Recorded Delivery" option, and to guarantee next working day delivery please place your order before 1pm and select the "Royal Mail Special Delivery" option.
Items listed as in stock can be dispatched by us that same day if you place your order by 1pm Monday to Friday.
For larger items, such as bikes, we currently use DPD as our courier. Bikes will be built and fully PDI checked in our workshop before being dispatched, so they often take two or three extra days to reach you and are not usually available for same day dispatch. For this reason you are advised to select the "Free Delivery" option when ordering a bike as the paid for options will not guarantee a faster delivery time for bike orders.
Delivery Times - Special Order.
When a product states delivery time of 7-10 Days this means that the item is not presently in stock at Zovelo but is available to order from the relevant supplier. Special order items usually take about one week to reach you, but can sometimes arrive sooner than that and occasionally take longer. If the particular product you have ordered is likely to take longer than two weeks to reach you we will let you know straight away so you can make other arrangements if necessary.
Similarly, during peak periods (for example Christmas) we recommend you allow plenty of time for delivery. If in doubt, don't hesitate to get in touch and check delivery times for a particular product.
Delivery Address
Although an alternative address can usually be accommodated we reserve the right to restrict delivery to the cardholders statement address only.
