Whether you’re collecting from our store, ordering dry goods, arranging local delivery or having livestock delivered nationwide, we’ve made it simple to choose the right option.

Click & Collect

FREE COLLECTION FROM OUR STORE

Place your order online and select Click & Collect at checkout.

Livestock will normally be bagged when you arrive, helping to minimise the amount of time animals spend packaged. If you’d prefer your livestock to be ready beforehand, simply contact us in advance.

Local Delivery

DELIVERED BY TROPICAL SUPPLIES • WITHIN 25 MILES

Order from our in-store range and have it delivered directly to you using our own local delivery service.

Minimum order: £50

Local Delivery Charges:
Up to 5 miles — FREE
5–10 miles — £10
10–15 miles — £15
15–20 miles — £20
20–25 miles — £25

Distances are measured “as the crow flies” rather than by road.

Once your order has been placed, we’ll contact you to arrange a suitable delivery date and time. We often combine nearby orders into efficient delivery runs, so local delivery may take a little longer during busy periods.

Ordering a large aquarium?
Please make sure someone is available to help unload the aquarium from our van when we arrive.
