Whilst we most certainly do not hang around, don’t expect anything in too much of a rush. Especially if it is made to order. We endeavour to produce our accessories as quickly as we can but our wood treatment process alone takes three full days. From the point of sale to dispatch, it is usually between 7-10 days.
