Please read this shipping information in conjunction with our T&Cs.

SHIPPING INFORMATION

At Innovative Testing Solutions Limited (ITS), we aim to despatch goods every day Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays. Most orders placed and accepted before 12.30pm Monday to Friday will be despatched on the same working day. Orders placed and accepted after 12.30pm Monday to Friday will be despatched on the next working day.

Shipping costs are generally based upon the weight of your order and the delivery method. To find out how much your order will cost, simply add the items you would like to purchase to your basket, and proceed to the checkout page. Once at the checkout screen, shipping choices/charges will be displayed.

Additional shipping charges may apply to remote areas or for very large or very heavy items. You will be advised of any charges on the checkout page.

All orders placed with a value of GBP £100.00 (not including VAT and P&P) or greater will be eligible for “Free Shipping”, as long as all items are ordered together (under one transaction). “Free Shipping” applies to the UK mainland only (barring Highlands and Islands and other similar remote areas as defined by our delivery partners). “Free Shipping” is by 2nd Class Royal Mail service (or similar alternative) with an estimated time of delivery of 2 to 5 working days.

ITS understand that you may require items quicker. The only service that is guaranteed* for next working day delivery (only applies for delivery on weekdays and not including bank holidays) is our Express delivery option via Royal Mail Special Delivery, Courier or similar. If you require your products/items urgently then please ensure you select this option. Please note: this is a “paid for service” and weight restrictions may apply.

For large/bulk orders, we may require a signature at delivery. We reserve the right to change an order to courier/signed for delivery if it is too bulky or heavy for Royal Mail and/or to select a delivery service that may require a signature, if we deem this necessary.

Date of delivery may vary due to Force Majeure, carrier shipping practices, delivery location, method of delivery, and the items ordered. Products may also be delivered in separate shipments. ITS cannot be held responsible for any delays that occur whilst goods are “in transit” and aim to communicate any such delays with you asap.

ITS are happy to offer a same day delivery using a “same day courier” service where possible. Price will be quoted on application. Alternatively, you may arrange to have your own courier collect from our premises (by appointment only).

*Guaranteed by the carrier and not by ITS. ITS cannot be held responsible for any delays that occur whilst goods are “in transit”.
