We try to maintain a two working day turnaround time. If you have a more urgent time schedule then please ring or email us first so that we can try to accommodate you - forewarned is forearmed!

Delivery within the UK by First Class postage is £2.50. There is no specific insurance with First Class delivery but Royal Mail has a maximum of £27 compensation for loss or non-delivery.

Royal Mail Special Delivery at an addition £4.50 (total £7) for guaranteed next day delivery before 1.00pm (Monday to Friday - limited cover in parts of Scotland). This carries insurance to the value of £250. Note that the 1.00pm delivery time only carries a 'money back' guarantee - compensation can only be claimed for loss or damage.

Please note: the Special Delivery option only guarantees next day delivery of your slides when the order is complete not a faster turnaround of your order. We once had a customer who uploaded their images on a Sunday morning and specified Special Delivery then rang up on Monday lunchtime asking where their slides were! We work normal office hours Monday to Friday and aim for a two day turnaround of your order (from receipt to despatch) - use Special Delivery to beat the vagaries of first class post only!

Frankly, think twice about using Special Delivery. Slide production is a batch process - it's not like running a print off an inkjet printer. A complete roll of film has to be exposed, the film processed and dried. Then cut up and mounted, invoiced and packaged then despatched. Special Delivery has to leave the premises well before regular first class post, so if timings are unfavourable it may well mean Special Delivery items leave us a day after first class post, negating any Special Delivery advantage!
