*We're incredibly sorry for the increased shipping rates to Northern Ireland. The U.K.'s Brexit agreement and departure from the customs union have resulted in unparalleled bureaucracy and thus far higher shipping rates. 

Deliveries to the Channel Islands can be very difficult and expensive, due to the different customs tariffs and tax rates employed there. Therefore, to cover our expenses and administration, a £20 surcharge will be applied to all Channel Island orders.

*Due to the U.K.'s departure from the EU (Brexit), the export process to the Republic of Ireland has become very difficult to navigate. From the 1st of July 2021 there will be many more changes and additions to an already complicated process to send and receive goods from the Republic of Ireland. With these extra complications and conditions appearing and often without warning, we have had to temporarily stop accepting orders from the Republic of Ireland until further notice, or at least until the process becomes easier to navigate for us and our customers. Deliveries to Northen Ireland are unaffected at this time. 

Important Information!

Here at The Incubator Shop, we believe in offering the fairest and most competitive shipping rates. Since we only operate within the U.K. and Ireland, we have been able to negotiate the best possible rates with DPD. There's no such thing as a free delivery, since the delivery man needs wages too! But for all orders over £60, we completely subsidise your delivery costs which enables us to offer a FREE delivery service to England Wales & parts of Scotland. We also subsidise the equivelant amount from any other delivery charges (Northern Ireland, Scottish Highlands, etc) but sadly this still leaves some costs we ask our customers to pay.

If you order on a Friday (or a Thursday after 2pm) be aware that the item will arrive Monday. Similarly, if you order on a Sunday, don't expect the parcel Monday... we'll need time to pack it! Weekend orders on a 'Next Working Day' service will arrive with you on Tuesday. For more information on delivery time scales please see below; “When will my order arrive”.
