Delivery Options
Rather than bombard you with a highly complex system of delivery options, we thought that we would keep things simple, so we offer 4 options:
- Standard – Free on all UK orders over £20.00
For when you’re not in a major hurry to have your items and would like to benefit from free delivery on orders as little as £20.00 this is the ideal option for you. 99% of orders with standard delivery will arrive within 3 working days, if your order is unlikely to fit through your letterbox, please let us know and we can arrange to have the parcel left with either a neighbour or another “safe place” please see below for exceptions and further details.
- Next Day – Free on all UK orders over £70.00
Perfect when you want your order ASAP, but can’t make it to our store. Please note you’ll need to place your order before 3pm in order to receive it the following day. Please see below for exceptions and further details.
- Special Delivery – For when you have forgotten the anniversary present and/or you want your delivery before 1pm the next day, this is the option for you. Again you need to have placed your order by 3pm in order to receive it before 1pm the following day; including Saturdays* these deliveries will need to be signed for on arrival.

You may tell us of any additional requirements you have with your order or delivery in the “Order Notes” box on the basket page, please note that we cannot be held responsible for missing items if special delivery instructions (i.e. “leave in porch”) are requested in the order notes. Also these order notes are specific to that particular order, so if you order from us again you will need to add any order notes again should they be required.
Missing Deliveries
If you haven’t received your item within the estimated time slot then please contact us on: 02392 698285 or email: sales@alexandrasports.com with your order details and we can track your parcel and find out what’s happened.

Exceptions
Apart from the delivery time exceptions, noted above, we do have a few exceptions where deliveries are either not possible or our customer service team will need to contact you to explain your options before processing and charging for your order; these may result in a slight delay in processing.
Here is a list of examples that may be relevant:
- An item from your order is either found to be faulty or damaged before we dispatch and there is no more stock available in this product – we will contact you to discuss alternatives or confirm a cancellation.
- You are attempting to order from outside the European Union or to a PO Box address – Unfortunately we do not currently ship to PO Boxes or outside the EU; unless to a BFPO address.
- Your order value exceeds £600.00 – There are some exceptional purchase variables that may result in us needing to charge a delivery cost despite your order being over £70.00; this is only in the event of very heavy orders (i.e. if you were to order very large quantities of energy drink powders); we would contact you before making any charges.
- Your order is flagged by our system as a possible fraudulent order – apologies if this happens; however the system makes this decision based upon information from banks and other agencies as well as the combination of items ordered; we will contact you to confirm your identity and order before processing such orders. This is for everyone’s security so please don’t be offended.
- Duplicate orders – We will contact you before processing duplicate orders, in case the duplicate was due to an internet connection (or other) problem on your network when you placed the order.
- Your item is not available – We operate a state-of-the-art live stock system that is accurate to within 3 seconds; unfortunately even this still leaves room for rare stock control errors where your item may be show as available; when in fact it is out of stock. We will contact you to discuss if your options from here.
- You have paid by cheque and your cheque hasn’t cleared or we haven’t received it – we will contact you to explain the situation in this case.
