Priority/Saturday Services

This service is only available to customers in England and Wales. Unfortunately, our couriers are unable to deliver to customers in Scotland on a Priority or Saturday Service. We apologise for any inconvenience caused.

UK Mainland Charges for Orders containing heavy or over-sized item

Due to the size and weight of some items, we have a standard charge of £10.00 PER heavy or over-sized item ordered. These items will always be sent on an Initial City Link next day/24 hour service.

Scottish Islands, Northern Ireland, Isle of Man and the Isles of Scilly

Our aim at CelebrationTime is to be as fair and competitive as possible with the cost of delivering your goods. However due to the geography of the UK, couriers increase their charges to remote and outlying areas and it is therefore necessary for us to do the same.
  • Orders under the value of £20 are usually dispatched by Royal Mail 1st Class Post.
  • Orders over the value of £20 are despatched by Initial City Link with a £10.00 (incl. VAT) surcharge.
Total cost of purchases inc VAT Delivery cost inc VAT
Less than £20 £4.95

Overseas deliveries

To obtain a shipping cost you have to put an order on our system at www.celebrationtimeuk.com . This produces a picking list in the warehouse, the item is packed and the cost of shipment including packaging is then calculated. Unfortunately this is the only way of providing a true quotation.
