Delivery Costs, Ireland and Northern Ireland

• Large items — go-karts, swing sets, playhouses and the like — are delivered free of charge, anywhere in Ireland and Northern Ireland.
• International delivery is calculated at checkout.

Delivery times

Order before 1pm, Monday to Friday, and your order is usually on its way the same day. Most orders arrive the next working day, and nearly all within two. Very occasionally — during busy periods like Christmas, or if our courier runs into a delay — it can take a little longer, so please allow up to 5 working days.

Bulky items

We deliver large items ourselves rather than hand them to a courier, so they arrive properly and in one piece. That takes a little longer: please allow 1-2 weeks. We'll give you a call to arrange a day that suits you.
