Shipping information prices & conditions.
Note 1 - Priority orders are shipped between Christmas and New Year.
Note 2 - Since the 1st Jan 2021 all orders to the EU are taking longer to get there. Sometimes 2 or 3 times longer.
Hopefully this will improve soon and normal shipping times will resume but at the moment couriers are having to adapt
to the (short notice) new free trade agreement with the EU and the additional checks and paper work. The trade
agreement provides for zero tariffs between the UK and the EU but there are delays at the moment.
Minimum order for free UK delivery is £14.00. Over £14.00 choose the £3.00 delivery option.

For goods to leave us the day you order, orders must be placed before 12.00 noon on a Monday and before 2.00pm
Tuesday to Friday. Sometimes we are able to ship goods after these cut off times, but you would need to
ring us to check if this is possible.
There is a "next working day" shipping option at £6.50, a "next working day by 1.00pm" option at £9.50 and two
"Saturday delivery options" depending on the weight of the items. (Delivery by 1.00pm does not apply to "Large" items.
Saturday options are £15.00 up to 2.0Kg by "Royal Mail Saturday Special Delivery" and £30 by Saturday courier.
We are not open on a Saturday morning so it is a good idea to obtain the tracking number on a Friday so that you
can monitor the parcel's progress on a Saturday morning.
There are some exceptions - special order items - (this would be stated next to the product on the site) may take
2 to 3 days. Products requiring programming may take an extra 24 hours. Very large dishes - e.g. the 1.8m and 2.4m
dishes may take 48 hours. Some offshore islands may take 2 to 3 days.
If you pay with a credit card that is NOT a UK bank or the billing address is not in the UK, there should be no
problem or delay if ordering on-line, however, telephone orders may not ship the same day the order is placed.
Online orders are processed more quickly as, on our main web site at
www.satellitesuperstore.com you are
charged when you place the order through a CityPay (or PayPal) payment gateway. (This assumes the transaction is fully
verified through the VISA or MasterCard verification system). Telephone orders, using a non-UK bank credit/debit
card or a foriegn (non-UK) billing address, require manual processing and international checking and
may not ship the day the order is placed.
International delivery options -
Please note that online orders are shipped out faster than telephone orders.
When you buy goods online on our main web site at
www.satellitesuperstore.com your card is charged while you
are online and the order usually ships the same day if received before the cut off time.

International telephone orders have to be checked and processed manually and this can take 24 - 48 hours.

All international deliveries (updated 1st Jan 2021).
VAT is included in all prices on this web site.
VAT will initially be charged when you place an online order but it will be refunded when your order is fully processed.
If you find a shipping price on the web site applicable to your order and your country (mainly EU customers),
the VAT is refunded when your order is processed and before shipping.
For oversized items or countries outside of the UK, where shipping is by quotation, the VAT is held as a credit
against the shipping charge. If the shipping charge is more than the VAT credit a payment link is sent to you to
pay the difference. If the VAT is more than the shipping charge a refund is done for the value of the difference.
If after receiving a shipping quote, you think it is too high, we can refund the whole order.
