All deliveries move F.O.B. our regional warehouses unless otherwise specified. Deliveries will be made in any manner requested by the customer – Regular or Air UPS, Express Mail, Parcel Post, air freight, bus, motor freight or other common carriers. In the absence of routing instructions, we will ship via the least expensive way. We usually try to ship all orders UPS if size and weight permit. Because of size or weight restrictions, we sometimes have to ship via common carrier. As a service to you, we have designated a space in your computer account file to put your choice of common carrier. If you wish to ship via a certain common carrier, contact us at sales@parshop.co.uk and ask them to put that carrier’s name into your account file. The following are the different methods of shipment available for most orders:

Each regional warehouse usually has 8 to 12 freight companies that make daily pick-ups and cover all the areas to which they ship. If you wish your shipment to go by a specific freight company, please request it when you place your order. We will make every effort to ship your order by that carrier.

Our prime objective is to have your goods delivered as fast as possible. However, we ask you to please understand we cannot always provide same-day shipping. It takes approximately three to four hours from the time the order is taken (if there are no problems) until it is packed and ready for shipment. Orders called in late in the day, or orders which have problems (such as exceeding credit limit, account past due, address change, etc.) take longer. We may hold your order for a day or two because we are out of stock on an item and we anticipate receipt of the item in a few days, allowing us to ship your order complete by holding it until the merchandise arrives. We would like to have three to five days to process your order. That way, if we ship your order the same day you will be happy, but if we take a couple of days, you will understand. Sometimes an emergency will come up and you will need the merchandise immediately. We understand this can happen. If you tell us this when you place the order, we will stock check the merchandise you need, and make every effort to get it out the same day. When requesting this service, be sure to get the name and telephone extension of the person you deal with, as it is that person’s responsibility to follow this order through. Should any problem arise, contact that person directly.
