Print delivery at Business Cards Printed works in two parts: first we make your order, then a courier brings it. You see both before you pay: the making time next to the price on every product, and the print delivery charge at checkout.
How long print delivery takes, start to finish
Add the production days to the courier time. Production starts once your order and artwork are both confirmed, and counts working days (Monday to Friday, not UK bank holidays). The courier usually needs 1 to 3 working days after that, and you get a tracking email as the parcel leaves.
Worked example: standard business cards on the Saver speed (5 working days), confirmed on a Monday, are ready to go the following Monday and usually with you between Tuesday and Thursday of that week.
Pick your speed
| Speed | Working days until it is ready to dispatch | When to pick it |
|---|---|---|
| Saver | 5 for standard business cards; longer for NCR books and some premium cards | The date is a way off and you want the lowest price. |
| Standard | 3 for standard business cards | Most jobs. |
| Express | 2 for standard business cards | There is a deadline. It costs more, and the price shows on the product page. |
The exact days for the product you are looking at sit beside each speed in its options, so you never have to guess. Express makes the job faster; it does not change the courier service.
What print delivery costs
- £7.95 per order to England, Wales and mainland Scotland, however many items are in it.
- Free when the goods in your basket come to £100 or more after any discount code. Artwork and design fees do not count towards the £100.
Highlands, islands and Northern Ireland
Mainland Highlands postcodes, such as Inverness, Fort William, Oban and Thurso, pay the mainland rate plus £10 once per order, even when the rest of the order ships free. Our checkout cannot price Northern Ireland, the Scottish islands (the Western Isles, Orkney, Shetland, Skye, Mull, Arran, Bute and the rest), the Isle of Man, the Channel Islands, the Isles of Scilly or the Isle of Wight, so for those ask for a quote and we will tell you the delivery cost before you pay. We only deliver within the UK.
Getting the parcel
Cards and stationery are packed in sturdy boxes so corners arrive sharp. If the drop-off is tricky (a gated site, an office with set goods-in times), put it in the delivery note at checkout.
If it turns up damaged
Open the parcel when it arrives. If something is damaged or missing, send photos of the item and the packaging through the contact form within 48 hours and we will replace it or refund you. Your legal rights are set out on the returns and refunds page and are not affected.
