Once we receive your order we will send you a confirmation email automatically. If you do not receive this email then we recommend you check the spam/junk folders in your email account as we are unable to prevent our emails being processed in this way.
We are dedicated to providing you with the best possible delivery service. We use Royal Mail or Parcelforce depending on the items ordered and the service required.
During the checkout process you will also have the opportunity to complete a ‘special delivery instruction’ section so please tell us if there’s anything we need to know to ensure your order is received as quickly and safely as possible. We can request for your order to be left in a safe place but if you provide such an instruction we cannot be held liable once the order has been delivered. This option is also not available if you select Guaranteed Next Day Delivery or Saturday Delivery as both these options will require a signature from the recipient.
PLEASE NOTE
Our daily dispatch deadline is 12 noon and orders are dispatched on every weekday but not at weekends. Therefore if your order is placed after 12 noon on a Friday it will not usually be dispatched until the following Monday.
Although the official daily deadline is 12 noon If you've missed the deadline and want to know if your order can still be shipped that day please email us on info@gallopguru.co.uk or call us on 01460220769

Personalised & Bespoke Items
Some items which are made specially to order may take up to 14 days to deliver. Please check on the relevant product page to see if this applies. Whilst we may quote 10-14 days as a guide we will often be able to dispatch such orders much more quickly. If you select and pay for an enhanced delivery service and your order includes a bespoke item with a longer lead time we will send your whole order via the enhanced method once the bespoke item is ready for dispatch.
Next Day Delivery & Bank Holidays
If you select the next day delivery option after 1 pm on a (normal) Friday, your item will not normally be processed until the following Monday and will not be delivered until the Tuesday. This will however not apply on bank holiday Mondays when the item would be processed on the Tuesday to arrive on the Wednesday.
If it is Good Friday then any orders placed after 1 pm on the preceding Thursday will not be processed until the next working day.
Courier Deliveries
Furniture and especially large, heavy or fragile and valuable items are not covered by our standard delivery options and policies. These items will be delivered by courier. The cost of such deliveries will be set out on the individual product page in the additional information section. This cost will be added to your order at the checkout.
Busy Periods
During very busy periods (Christmas for example) it may take a little longer to process your order and sometimes delivery will be slower too. We will however do everything we can to make sure you receive your item as quickly as possible and we really do understand the disappointment that can be caused if a gift doesn't arrive in time so don't worry, if it can be done we'll definitely do it. We've been known to deliver by hand if that's what's needed!
Estimated Postage Costs*
Where the cost of your chosen delivery option is determined by the weight of the products you can select the ESTIMATE DELIVERY COST before you complete the checkout process to get an exact total.
