Our collection service is available Mon-Fri only.

Collections are only available from Beads Direct, 10 Duke Street, Loughborough, Leicestershire, LE11 1ED.

On selecting ‘collection service’ you are agreeing to the following terms and conditions of collection:

1. You will not be admitted into the warehouse on collecting your order, unfortunately we are not insured to allow you to enter the warehouse.

2. Your order will be packaged and ready for your to collect, and your order cannot be amended on site.

3. Orders must have been placed and payment must have been taken by phone or online prior to collection.

4. Please bring proof of ID when you come to collect, as we need to verify that you are the cardholder that has paid for the order.

Will I have to pay customs charges in my country?

When goods are shipped within the European Union there are no customs charges as the relevant VAT has already been paid.

Orders placed from outside the EU are not charged VAT and may be subject to import duties and taxes. These may be levied once the goods reach your country. It is a legal requirement that we declare the full value of the goods (excluding delivery charges) on all parcels to be delivered outside the EU. For further details of customs charges please consult your own customs authorities. We have no control over these charges and cannot predict what they will be. We are unable to reimburse any customs costs incurred.

Free delivery for UK orders; simply spend over £30

If you’re shipping your order to a UK address we offer you free standard delivery which is usually first class post, however, we may choose to send your order by a courier service if it is of high value or particularly heavy (our tracked courier service may take an extra day and is a Monday to Friday delivery only). To take advantage of this offer, simply select the free delivery option at the checkout.
