What Should I Do If My Parcel Is Lost Or Damaged?

If your parcel is lost or damaged, you must contact us immediately so that we can contact the carrier and arrange for replacement or refund. Please keep any damaged items including damaged packaging for reference.

How Does Your Price Match Guarantee Work?

We will match any UK website price that is not on a clearance offer. All you need to do is send us the link to the cheaper item. The item must be purchasable through the competitor website.

Can You Send Powders, Ammunition and Primers Straight To Me?

All Powder, Primers and Ammunition are classed as hazardous materials and therefore must be dispatched using an authorised Hazmat carrier. This comes at an extra cost to the average courier so we charge £20.00 for Hazmat deliveries (free for orders above £500) within the UK. This is regardless of the quantity of product ordered and regardless of the location within the UK.

As well as these rules, Primers and Ammunition are also licensable, meaning that you must hold a Section 1 Firearms Certificate or Section 2 Shotgun Certificate (dependant on the primers or ammunition you purchase). This means that because we cannot physically check your certificate, these items must be sent to an RFD (Registered Firearms Dealer) for collection by the customer (yourself). This allows you to present a copy of your Firearms/Shotgun certificate to the RFD prior to the goods being handed over.

In order to allow us to keep delivery charges as low as possible, we only dispatch Hazmat materials on a Wednesday. This means that if an order is placed on a Thursday, it will be 6 days before dispatch takes place.

The costs and delivery times for all applicable countries can be seen below and these prices are regardless of quantity/consignment value ordered:

UK £20.00 on orders below £500. Free postage on orders above £500 - Delivery Time 2 working days after dispatch.

Republic Of Ireland £1840.00 - Delivery Time 10 working days after dispatch.

France £1840.00 - Delivery Time 21 working days after dispatch.

Rest Of Europe £4820.00 - Delivery Time 21 working days after dispatch.

Rest Of World £4820.00 - Delivery Time 21 working days after dispatch.

What Powder Do I Need For This Calibre / Bullet?

We always recommend purchasing a reloading manual so that the data is consistant, accurate, and always to hand.

If you do not wish to do this, or your manual does not have the nescessary data for your needs, you can visit our Reloading Data Section for manufacturer advice.
