Ordering & Delivery Date Questions
When will my order be despatched?
Despatch times depend on the products ordered. Selected Ice White, Treacle Black and Vanilla Ivory stock items are usually available fastest and may qualify for next working-day UK Mainland delivery when ordered before the stated cut-off time.
Most coloured standard-size tablecloths are cut and sewn to order. This means the fabric is cut to the required size and finished by our sewing team after your order is received, rather than being taken from finished stock.
Standard delivery for these items is usually 7–9 working days, while Saver Delivery is usually 10–14 working days. Larger quantities may require additional production time depending on the order size and fabric availability.
What is the next working-day delivery cut-off time?
Next working-day delivery is available on selected Ice White, Treacle Black and Vanilla Ivory stock items, together with Table Master coloured napkins, for UK Mainland orders placed before 3.00pm, Monday to Friday.
During exceptionally busy periods, we may occasionally need to bring the daily cut-off time forward if order volumes reach capacity. Very occasionally, courier collection issues may also affect same-day despatch.
Is DPD next working-day delivery guaranteed?
DPD provides a next working-day delivery service for UK Mainland orders. While the vast majority of parcels arrive as expected, delivery times cannot be guaranteed, as occasional delays can occur due to factors such as severe weather, busy delivery periods or local delivery issues.
We regularly monitor DPD's delivery performance. Based on our 2025 DPD delivery records, 96% of our parcels were delivered on time, with no parcels recorded as lost.
You can follow the progress of your delivery using the DPD email and text notifications sent once your order has been despatched. If you have any concerns or experience a delivery issue, please contact us and we will be happy to contact DPD on your behalf and help resolve it.
