What delivery options are available?
We offer a variety of delivery services to ensure your documents and certificates reach you safely and promptly. These delivery options only affect the delivery time and service speed, not the time required to complete your order.
During the checkout process, you can choose the delivery service that suits your needs based on your shipping country. The available options may differ depending on your location, but generally, you will have three broad choices:
1. Regular Post
- UK Deliveries: First Class post is used for domestic deliveries within the UK.
- Overseas Deliveries: Airmail is used for international shipments, via standard Royal Mail services.
This is the most economical delivery option but offers no tracking or signature confirmation.
2. Registered Post
- UK Deliveries:
- Signed-For: Sent via First-Class mail and requires a signature upon delivery.
- Special Delivery: Guaranteed delivery by 1pm the following working day (Monday to Friday).
- Overseas Deliveries: The delivery service used will depend on the destination country. The most common options are:
- International Tracked & Signed
- International Tracked
- International Signed
The available options are determined by the destination country, and we always choose the most secure and reliable option available.
For further details on which services are available for specific countries, you can visit the Royal Mail website.
3. Courier Delivery
For important documents or certificates, Courier Delivery offers the highest level of reliability. We use FedEx, UPS, or DHL depending on your delivery location and local pick-up schedules.
Courier services are strongly recommended for countries with less reliable postal systems, including (but not limited to):
- UAE
- Qatar
- Kuwait
- Saudi Arabia
- South Africa
- India
This is the most secure and reliable option, providing tracking and fast delivery.
4. Scan & Send Service
In addition to your physical delivery choice, you can opt for our Scan & Send service. This service provides an electronic version of your order, which we email to you prior to dispatch. This allows you to receive a digital copy of your documents as soon as they are ready, although it does not replace the physical shipping service. The email scan will be sent once your order is complete and dispatched.
Summary: Choose the delivery option that best suits your needs:
- Regular Post: Standard delivery without tracking.
- Registered Post: Delivery with tracking or guaranteed next-day delivery.
- Courier Delivery: Secure, tracked service for important documents.
- Scan & Send: Get an electronic version of your documents before physical delivery.
