Shipping Policy

The Amateur Angler

Last updated: 26 December 2025

This Shipping Policy explains how orders are processed, delivered, and charged. Nothing in this policy limits your statutory rights under UK consumer law.

Order Processing

Orders are processed within 1–3 business days (excluding weekends and public holidays).
Orders placed outside business hours are processed on the next working day.

Processing times may be extended during peak periods, product launches, or promotions.

Shipping Locations

We currently ship to:

  • The United Kingdom

  • Europe (selected destinations where available at checkout)

If a destination is not available at checkout, we are unable to accept orders for that location.

Shipping Charges

Shipping charges are applied per order as follows:

United Kingdom

  • Orders under £60: Flat rate £4.50

  • Orders £60 and over: Free shipping

Europe

  • Flat rate: £25 per order

All applicable shipping charges are shown at checkout before payment.

For European orders, any customs duties, taxes, or import charges are the responsibility of the customer.

Delivery Times

Delivery times are estimates only and begin once an order has been dispatched.

Estimated delivery times:

  • UK Standard Delivery: 2–5 business days

  • Europe: 7–14 business days (destination dependent)

We are not responsible for delays caused by couriers, weather conditions, customs processing, or other circumstances outside our control.

Order Tracking

Where tracking is available, dispatch confirmation and tracking details will be sent by email.
Tracking updates may take up to 24 hours to appear.

Incorrect Address or Failed Delivery

Customers are responsible for providing accurate and complete delivery information at checkout.

We are not responsible for delays, failed delivery, or losses resulting from incorrect or incomplete address details.
If an order is returned to us due to address issues or failed delivery attempts, additional shipping charges may apply before the order is resent.

Damaged or Missing Items

If an order arrives damaged or incomplete, you must notify us within 48 hours of delivery and provide clear photographic evidence of the packaging and items.

This reporting requirement applies to delivery-related issues only and does not affect your statutory rights in relation to faulty goods.

Relationship to Returns & Refunds Policy

Returns, refunds, and warranty matters are governed by our Returns & Refunds Policy, which sets out your statutory rights and applicable exclusions, including those relating to consumable items such as fishing rigs and terminal tackle.
