Monday 18th December- United Kingdom

Other Counties - Deadline passed.

We aim to ship orders within 2 working days of purchase (excluding weekends and UK bank holidays) and ship in order of receipt. Our Royal Mail collections pick up daily and orders would need to be picked and processed by 2.30pm each day to be ready for that day''s collection.

UK shipping is by Royal Mail 2nd class postage is approximately 2-3 working days, we can arrange for a quicker method if preferred, please use our contact form and add the request to your order comments. You can also choose recorded (tracked delivery) at the time of purchase.

European Union is by Royal Mail Standard Airmail and delivery speed will vary according to your national carrier (approximately 7 working days). Again you can upgrade to International Signed For Postage at the time of purchase if you require tracking. This will be delivered by your national postal service.

All other countries lie within the Rest of the World and this is by Royal Mail Standard Airmail and will be dependant on national postal service and customs clearance. (Usually 10 working days, though customs clearance can make this longer.) Again, you can upgrade to International Signed For Postage at the time of purchase if you require tracking. This will be delivered by your national postal service.

We buy most of our dice loose, direct from the manufacturers, so no slip comes with the dice and also no cube.

There are several reasons that we do this:

• 1. This allow us to get the best price for the dice, which result in savings which can be passed on to you, our customers.
• 2. It allows more orders to be delivered directly through a letterbox first time, as packages are often much smaller.
• 3. It allows us to keep the postage costs low as the weight of the parcel is lower.

Research has also shown that customers like to keep their dice in a large variety of containers, from dice bags, chests, boxes, jars, even washing powder boxes, so the majority of cubes were simply discarded and ended up in landfill sites.

If a dice set does come with any special packaging, we will both show this in the photos and detail it in the item description so that you know exactly what ou will be getting.

It's really hard to say which countries are likely to have issues with slow deliveries, as this can vary due to so many factors, including weather and time of the year.

Some of you will already know if there are issues with mail arriving internationally to your countries and we would recommend that in these situations, you always make use of tracking.

We have, however, been made aware by our customers of ongoing issues in the following countries and would suggest that the tracked option is best for all orders to the following destinations:

Argentina, Brazil, Canada, Mexico, Russian Federation and South Africa.

We hope that this helps, but if in doubt a tracking number will always help your postal service to locate your order.

Sorry, no we don't.

We are the World's largest retailer of dice and while we do commission a number of exclusive designs, we do not actually manufacture the dice ourselves.

When the UK decided to leave the EU, we had to make some changes. It has taken time, a lot of red tape and some development, however from the 7th September 2021 we have some great news!

We will now be shipping DDP (Deliver Duties Paid) for our goods into the EU up to a value of 150 EUR.

This means what you pay on our site will be everything you need to pay for your dice. We will collect the VAT and Duty at the point of payment, supported by our partners Deloitte and using Royal Mails fully automated data transfer system, we will supply all the information needed for your parcel to clear customs.

This will mean a much better experience for our customers - fewer delays and no unexpected taxes charges!

Note:

- For packages over 150 EUR, additional charges may apply and these will be collected by the courier in the delivery country and is outside our ability to control.

We ship to anywhere in the World and our prices are in three zones.

• 1. UK where we are based
• 2. European Union
• 3. The Rest of the World.

If your country is not in the UK or the EU, you will need to select Rest of the World at the checkout.

Dice come in all shapes and sizes and in truth many will argue that there is no such thing as a standard dice. In our listing descriptions we give sizes in mm to give you an idea.

A standard dice, one you would get in a board game etc is 16mm flat to flat when measured and this is the general standard used. In a set, dice may be smaller or larger than this as they are sized so that when combined, no dice looks out of place within the set.

We have lots of dice though, both bigger and smaller and we give you as much info as possible. Whenever we have a dice smaller or larger than standard for sale, we photograph it with a standard black spot D6 next to it for comparison.

All the 36 x D6 Dice sets are 12mm size. The 12 x D6 Dice sets are either 15/16mm size according to the specifications of the individual manufacturers.
