| Next-Day Delivery | £7.50 | Order by 1PM (Mon–Fri) for next-day delivery (excludes Sundays) |

| Timed Delivery | From £14.95 | Specify AM/PM slot or 1-hour window via DHL Express (Mon–Sat) |

📅 Choose Your Delivery Date
At checkout, you’ll be able to select your preferred delivery date using our interactive calendar. We recommend choosing a date 2 working days before your event to allow for any courier delays.
Example:
Event on Saturday → Choose delivery for Thursday
During peak periods (e.g. Christmas, Valentine’s Day, Black Friday), we strongly suggest selecting a delivery date 3 working days prior to your event.
