At Monkey Tools Ltd, we aim to deliver your order as quickly and efficiently as possible. This Shipping & Delivery Policy explains our delivery services, estimated delivery times and important information regarding your order.
1. Delivery Areas
We currently deliver to addresses within the United Kingdom only.
Unfortunately, we do not currently offer international shipping.
Certain postcode areas may be subject to extended delivery times or additional delivery charges. Where this applies, you will be notified during checkout before completing your order.

4. Order Processing
Orders are normally processed during our business hours.
Orders received after our daily dispatch cut-off, on weekends or public holidays will be processed on the next working day.
Whilst we aim to dispatch orders promptly, dispatch times may occasionally vary depending on stock availability and supplier lead times.
5. Delivery Times
All delivery times shown on our website are estimates only.
Although we make every reasonable effort to meet the estimated delivery date, delivery times cannot be guaranteed and may occasionally be affected by circumstances outside our control.
These may include:
- Adverse weather conditions
- Courier delays
- Traffic disruption
- Supplier shortages
- High seasonal demand
- Public holidays
- Industrial action
Where delays occur, we will endeavour to keep you informed.
6. Split Deliveries
If your order contains multiple products, your items may arrive separately.
This allows us to dispatch available products sooner rather than delaying your entire order.
You will not be charged any additional delivery costs where we choose to split your order.
7. Delivery Address
Please ensure that your delivery address and contact details are accurate when placing your order.
If you notice an error after placing your order, please contact us immediately.
Once an order has been dispatched, we may not be able to amend the delivery address.
Additional delivery costs resulting from incorrect address information may be chargeable.
8. Delivery Attempts
Most deliveries require somebody to accept the parcel.
If delivery cannot be completed, the courier may:
- Attempt delivery again.
- Leave your parcel with a neighbour where appropriate.
- Deliver to a designated safe place (where authorised).
- Leave instructions for collection from a local depot or parcel shop.
If your parcel is returned to Monkey Tools because delivery was unsuccessful or uncollected, additional delivery charges may apply before the goods are re-dispatched.
9. Click & Collect
We offer Click & Collect from our Trade Counter.
