Why do you charge for delivery when some sellers offer free delivery?

A lot of companies that sell on-line do offer "free" shipping.  Their version of "free" is generated by over inflating the purchase price of the products to include the cost of carriage, We have thought about this method of pricing and marketing but have come to the conclusion that to operate in this manner will cost all of our customers more and not offer the fantastic value for money service which we have known for. When you shop with us you only pay for what you purchase, when shopping around for the best price please bear this in mind.

When can I expect my parcel?

If all of the items you have ordered are in stock Bar Equipment Direct aims to despatch your order within 48 working hours of you completing your purchase.  Our standard delivery time after despatch for UK customers is 1-3 working days, for our European customer’s 3-7 working days and for our worldwide customers 4-10 working days.
