How pre-orders work
Last updated: 23 October 2026
What is a pre-order?
Sometimes a product you love is out of stock right now. Instead of making you wait and check back, we let you order it ahead. Pre-order products carry a Pre-order badge on the product page, in your cart and at checkout.
How it works
- Place your order as usual. A product you can pre-order shows a Pre-order now button instead of Buy now.
- We confirm your order and get the item in for you.
- Once the item is back in stock, we dispatch it. Delivery then takes 1–3 days after dispatch, like any other order.
Good to know
- Timing: because pre-order items are on their way to us, the exact arrival date can change. We will keep you updated, and you can always ask us for the latest.
- Payment: as with all orders, you pay by Cash on Delivery when the item reaches you. You do not pay anything upfront.
- Cancelling: you can cancel a pre-order before it is dispatched by contacting us.
- If an item cannot be supplied: we will let you know and cancel that item for you.
