Delivery Information

achilles heel can deliver orders worldwide. This includes delivery via the British Forces Post Office.

When we despatch orders

All orders will be dispatched within 24 hours of your order being placed if the requested items are in stock. Orders received before 2pm are despatched the same day (except Fridays when the cut-off is 12pm. Any orders received after this time and during the weekend will be despatched on the following Monday).

Out of stock items

If a product is out of stock after you order or we can only deliver part of your order we will contact you straight away, either by email or by phone. On contact with you we will explain the situation and offer any available alternatives, one of which will include canceling your order.

Should you decide to leave any product on back order, you can contact us at any time for an update on the order or you can log into your online account to check status of your order.

Delivery costs

We calculate delivery costs according to your delivery choice: either delivered to your chosen address or picked up directly from our shop in Glasgow in person.

When we deliver, postage will only be charged on the initial payment for any part orders we dispatch. We will charge no further postage on any items we dispatch thereafter.

Please refer to our delivery charges page, which lists how much we charge with a corresponding estimated arrival time.

Deliveries picked up in person from achilles heel

Orders placed before 2pm will be available for collection on the next working day. Orders placed after 2pm will be availbale for collection in 2 working days. Orders placed over the weekend will be processed on the Monday. Please note that when you pick up your order in person you need to bring along the following items:

  • Order confirmation
  • Proof of identification (e.g. driving licence, student card)

Deliveries to the UK mainland

For deliveries to the UK mainland, we offer two options: Express Delivery and Standard Delivery.

Express Delivery

Express delivery is our speedy service delivered by Interlink Express. This is available within the UK mainland and takes 1-2 working days. You will receive an email with your tracking information and you will also receive a one hour delivery window so you don't have to wait in all day for your parcel. If you give us your mobile number we can text the estimated time of arrival straight to your mobile.

If you are not going to be home during delivery hours you can provide brief instructions to leave orders with a neighbour (this option can be chosen when filling out your delivery details). Please note that achilles heel cannot be held responsible for items that go missing if instructed to deliver to a neighbour.

Postcode search

Alternatively you can pick up your order from Interlink Express or call Interlink Express to arrange a re-delivery. Do a postcode search to find your closest Interlink Express branch.

Standard Delivery

Standard Delivery works well if you're not in a hurry to receive your order. Standard Delivery is cheaper and takes between 2-7 working days. The majority of orders going through our standard service will be sent via Royal Mail 1st or 2nd class. Please be aware that orders with a higher value and weight will be sent through Interlink Express for insurance reasons.

Disclaimer

achilles heel is not responsible for any delays encountered by Royal Mail or Interlink Express in adverse weather conditions or for out of area deliveries.

Deliveries outwith the UK mainland

Delivery of orders outwith the UK will be sent through Royal Mail, FedEx or Interlink Express depending on location.

If we are shipping to an address outside of the United Kingdom, there is a chance you will be charged duties, taxes and brokerage fees.

Duties and taxes on international orders will be assessed by local officials and billed to you separately. Please contact your customs office for information on duties, taxes and restricted items.
