Delivery
At True North Sailing, we strive to offer a seamless delivery experience tailored to your preferences. Choose between our free and special delivery services for your convenience. We dispatch orders Monday to Friday excluding bank holidays. All orders placed before 1pm will be dispatched the same day.
All orders qualify for free delivery via Tracked 48. Please note that delivery times may vary depending on when the order is placed, your location, the postage method selected at checkout, and product availability.
Orders placed before 1pm are scheduled for dispatch on the same day, ensuring a prompt processing and shipment. Orders placed after 1pm will be dispatched the next day. However, in the rare instance that an item is on backorder or if any unforeseen stock issues arise, rest assured that our dedicated team will promptly reach out to you. Our commitment is to keep you informed and address any concerns swiftly, ensuring a smooth and transparent shopping experience.
Enjoy complimentary free delivery for all orders.
For any delivery inquiries or assistance with order tracking, our customer service team is here to assist you.
All orders are dispatched via Royal Mail, while heavier packages over 6kg are shipped through reliable couriers.
During checkout, it’s essential to select your preferred postage option. Please note that the estimated delivery times for Tracked 48 and Tracked 24 services may vary.
Once Royal Mail or Courier takes charge of delivery, the responsibility for the delivery timeline rests with them, and we no longer have control over the process.
Please note: For orders that cannot be sent via Royal Mail and require courier delivery, next day delivery may not always be possible. In some cases, delivery may take up to two working days due to the need to arrange courier collection. For courier orders, next day postage costs are non-refundable if the order is delivered within the 2 working day timeframe.
