Shipping Costs
These are determined by what you order and your delivery address. We try and package your orders in as few parcels as possible, so we have a base rate, which takes care of your initial item, packing, handling and shipping, and then each individual item added as added at a fraction of that initial shipping cost.
We try and be as fair as possible so that our shipping costs are as low as they can be but still you will receive a quality and timely service. All individual vinyl orders come with a stiffener. Shipping prices will be calculated as you add items to your basket.
Shipping: Delivery and timescales
When you order has been completed you will receive an email receipt confirming your horizons store purchase. If an order is received before 5pm we aim to ship that same day. If your order contains a preorder item, or an item we are waiting for stock then complete order will be shipped as soon as all items are in.
Once your order has been packed, it will be collected by the UK’s postal service – Royal Mail – who collect from our warehouse, daily Monday - Saturday. All UK orders are sent by First, Second class or tracked mail, as selected when you place your order with us. Orders from Europe and the rest of the world are sent by standard Airmail. Tracking Options are available, please select this option if you require it. Once your order arrives in your country, it is passed to your local postal service, who will deliver it to you in keeping with their standard working processes.
The following is a rough guide to how long your order should take to arrive: UK: 1-3 working days, Europe: 4-7 working days, USA / Canada: 7-14 working days, Rest of world: 7-20 working days, depending on location.
PLEASE NOTE THIS IS A GUIDE ONLY AND SHOULD NOT BE INTERPRETED AS A GUARANTEE OF DELIVERY TIME. Efficiency does vary between different countries’ postal services. Sometimes delivery can be very quick, sometimes less so. Sometimes parcels can be held up in International customs, at this point there is not a lot we can do, you will receive your parcel but it maybe delayed. We do complete full paperwork our end to attempt to avoid these occurences.
Shipping: Customs and import duty charges
Please note that residents of some countries may have to pay customs or import duty charges on their order. Because these charges are levied by your government and are specific to your country, we cannot tell you how much (if anything) this will be. You are responsible for any customs or import duty charges you may incur. If you choose not to pay these charges, your package will not be released by customs and may be destroyed. In this event, we will be unable to offer you a refund. UK and EU residents will not have to pay any customs or import duties.
