Delivery Charges

Standard GB delivery from £3.99 for eligible parcels up to and including 2kg. Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland have separate rates. Your basket calculates the charge using the products, quantities, parcel size and delivery postcode. Free local delivery is available on eligible orders of £35 or more after discounts, including any product tax and excluding delivery and fees, to G71, G69, G72, ML3, ML4, ML5, G74 and G75. Enter your full UK delivery postcode and select free local delivery at checkout. Existing quote-only, oversized-item and product restrictions still apply. Other destinations and below-threshold orders use the applicable standard delivery charges.

For standard GB orders with a confirmed packing check, InPost home delivery is £3.99 Small, £4.99 Medium or £6.99 Large. Each finished parcel must fit the relevant size limit and weigh no more than 15kg including packaging. A 15kg bag plus packaging exceeds that limit. Orders without a confirmed packing check use the weight-band rates above. Multiple parcels are charged separately; unsuitable contents use another suitable courier.

These rates are per parcel. Size can move an eligible parcel into a higher band. Light & Large / oversized delivery is not available. Products that need this service cannot be ordered. We use product information to estimate the parcel requirement. Larger bags travel separately, and the basket adds together the charges when more than one parcel is needed.

Email quote before payment: Individual items over 20kg, island orders totalling 20kg or more, and all Republic of Ireland deliveries. Items awaiting a parcel-size check must be confirmed as suitable for our standard parcel services; we cannot arrange oversized delivery. Email enquires@rpsupplies.co.uk with your products, quantities, country and postcode. Where a suitable standard parcel service is available, we will confirm the full delivered price and estimated delivery time before you pay.

Orders containing a quote-only item require a quote for the whole basket. No delivery is charged as free while a quote is pending. Very large quantities and orders requiring more than ten parcels are also quoted individually.
