Dispatch

  • We work closely with our suppliers to ensure that most items are in stock and readily available for dispatch. Occasionally, with popular items for instance, there may be a delay while we wait for new stock to arrive, but we always aim to deliver as quickly as possible.
  • Items that are in stock will be delivered, on average, within 2-5 working days using a standard delivery service.
  • Items that need to be ordered from our suppliers should arrive with the customer within 5-7 working days (during the season). Please allow for this duration to elapse before requesting an update. Your patience is greatly appreciated
  • We will send all orders as quickly as possible using the above timescales as estimates, however it is always our intention to deliver before this.
  • If we contact you with a delivery schedule of estimated dispatch/delivery times, please be aware that this is to be used as a guide. Some items may be delivered sooner and some may take a little longer.
  • You will receive a dispatch confirmation by e-mail on the day that the goods are dispatched, so please make sure that your e-mail address has been entered correctly.
  • Once your order has been dispatched, you are welcome to contact us for a tracking or reference number.
  • If you would like an update on your order please feel free to e-mail or phone us.

Failed Delivery

  • Some deliveries may require a signature. It is advisable that recipients keep an eye on their emails/texts for delivery information from ourselves (dispatch notification) and the couriers (delivery times).
  • While placing your order, please check carefully when entering your address and contact details as incorrect details can delay delivery.
  • If the courier ultimately cannot deliver the parcel after exhausting all their delivery attempt policy options, the parcel will be returned to us.
  • Once a parcel has been returned to us, we are happy to resend it, however further postage charges will be incurred to send it out again.
  • Even if your order initially qualified for free delivery, this will only apply for sending the parcel out once, therefore postage will be charged for re-sending the parcel.
  • We will send a payment request for the postage and as soon as it has been paid, the parcel will be reshipped.

  • We cannot alter the delivery address on orders paid via PayPal. Please ensure that you have your preferred delivery address linked to your PayPal account. This way, it can be selected during Checkout. This is to ensure ourselves and PayPal can provide a secure service with the appropriate Seller and Buyer protection.
  • We will always work quickly to make any alterations to your order, but please note that changes may cause delays.

Stock Levels

  • Please remember that Hockey is a seasonal sport and that over 98% of hockey products are produced abroad.
  • Our stock is ordered in advance and the majority is delivered to the UK for delivery to us in July and August, ready for the start of the season in September. Our stock levels are therefore at their highest from August to December.
  • After December supplier stocks do reduce and more popular items can run out of stock so please be aware of this.
  • We do our best to keep the web-site up to date but this can only be done when we are notified that items are out of stock by our suppliers.
  • Our web-site does not offer real time stock control.
  • During the hockey season we order from our suppliers almost every day. Out of season (April to August) we order less often and therefore orders can take slightly longer to arrive.
  • If you do order an item that is subsequently out of stock, you will be notified and given the option to order another item or to cancel the order.
