Our UK delivery and overseas shipping charges explained


Delivery/shipping costs are based on a combination of size and weight, which means that it’s possible to combine several items without necessarily increasing the cost of delivery. As a guide, the tables below lists examples for shipping to some of the more frequent countries we send to. The tables are intended only as a guide, so don’t worry if your country isn’t listed below, and in the unlikely event that your country isn’t on our checkout system, simply contact us before orderingand we'll look into adding it for you.

Some of the items we sell are classed as hazardous or flammable for the purposes of shipping. These include aerosols, certain wood finishes and solvents, and certain Shield rust prevention products. We refer to them in the tables below as restricted items. We are limited to certain couriers to deliver restricted items but are able to ship them to almost all corners of the UK, although unfortunately not to the Channel Islands. Nor are we able to ship them to countries outside of the UK or to BFPO addresses.

Most parcels are sent by Royal Mail, although occasionally we will send by courier, especially in the case of heavy parcels, restricted items, or at our discretion, goods of high value.

All shipping costs are clearly stated at the checkout before you commit to a purchase.

Service update - Russia:  (24th February 2022 until further notice)
There are currently no carriers delivering from the UK to Russia, therefore we are unable to accept orders from customers in Russia until further notice.

Customer Reviews
5/5
Melody Berry
Beaufort Ink set themselves a high standard for product and service, then they hold themselves to that standard. I’ve always had great service and also very helpful telephone support when I had no idea what I was really needing. There's really is no reason for me to consider buying from anyone else.

Mark Tassell
First class pen kits, fantastic nibs and even better customer service.

Rosie Newton
High praise for Beaufort Ink for brilliant customer service and a lovely nib - I really should put them on speed dial. I'm fussy with nibs and they've come to the rescue again. They always take time to give brilliant advice and they're just a really nice guys.

Noah Joubert
Great service and delivery - I am very happy with the new nib I bought. I called them as I was uncertain about which would be the right one, but I got through to the owner who was very helpful and swiftly solved my query.

Tim McKenzie
Perhaps the classiest pen kits in the business and a great source for kitless building as well.
5/5
Nick Buckley
Without remembering who specifically took care of my order, I just have to say how pleased I am and simply blown away by the quality of service. I ordered a hand-full of products and must have mistakenly selected one incompatible item. My package arrived with a handwritten note and the piece that I'd meant to purchase. Thank you, I'm truly appreciative.

Ken Runciman

Alan Reynolds
Not only are Beaufort Ink's parts and kits of superb quality but the sales and after sales service is outstanding. I cannot rate the company highly enough - they ooze integrity and good service as well as quality products. Buy from them, and you cant go wrong.
5/5
Lee Cook

My order arrived over a week ago with extra pen refills, thank you.
In the main, people are quick to complain even when a minor issue such as mine is out of anybody’s control, so they should be as quick to say thank you.

I have known for a while that the quality of your products is head and shoulders above the competition's, and have now found out first hand that your customer service is of the same premium quality.
A very big thank you and well done to all at Beaufort Ink.
