At Sailing Chandlery, we understand how important it is to get your sailing gear and equipment quickly, reliably and at a fair price. That's why we're committed to offering straightforward delivery options that are designed with you in mind.
In this blog post, we'll guide you through all of our delivery and shipping choices available to our customers, explain the associated costs, and outline what you can expect when placing an order with us.
We strive to keep our delivery charges low as possible, passing these costs directly to you without adding extra margins. Our product prices are already highly competitive, and we believe delivery shouldn't be a hidden cost that surprises you at checkout.
That's why we've structured our delivery pricing transparently, with options to suit every need - whether you're placing a small order or buying large sailing equipment.
For the majority of items we sell, we offer free UK Standard delivery on orders over £95. This is a great way to save if you're purchasing multiple items or investing in key sailing equipment.
Please note: This free delivery option does not apply to larger items that can't be sent through standard postal services.
This includes:
These require special delivery arrangements, which we'll cover in more detail later.
We know how frustrating it can be to wait days before your order even leaves the warehouse. That's why we aim to dispatch all orders placed by midday on the same working day.
This means, if you order in the morning, we'll ensure your items are packed and shipped out that very afternoon.
It's important to note that dispatch times may vary if an item has a specific lead time, but we make sure to clearly state this information on the product page.
We also do not ship orders over the weekend, or on bank holidays, so any orders placed during these times will be processed on the next available working day.
We offer several shipping methods across the UK to give you flexibility depending on how soon you need your items:
*Prices correct at time of publish.
For items like boats, trolleys, and trailers, standard courier services are not an option.
These items are simply too large and require either collection in person, or delivery through our dedicated Sailing Chandlery van service.
If you're interested in having one of these larger items delivered, we are happy to provide a custom delivery quote.
All we need is your postcode, and we'll calculate a delivery cost based on your location. Please be aware that boats, trolleys and trailers can only be delivered within the UK.
Unfortunately we are unable to arrange international shippings for these large items.

At Sailing Chandlery, we are proud to serve sailors around the globe. We offer international shipping options to Europe and beyond, ensuring you can get the products you need wherever you are.
For European orders, the shipping costs are as follows:
For destinations outside Europe, we use DHL International Shipping. The cost for this starts at £75, with the final price dependent on the weight and dimensions of your order.
If you're ordering from outside the UK, please be aware that your shipment may be subject to import duties and taxes upon arrival in your country. These charges are determined by your local customs authority and are the responsibility of the customer.
You will typically be asked to pay these fees at the point of delivery.
We are always happy to assist customers who need delivery locations not listed in our standard shipping options. If you are interested in ordering from a destination not specified on our website, simply send us an email at info@sailingchandlery.com with:

I rang to request some advice on replacement parts for my dinghy and was very impressed with the excellent advice and efficient delivery of the required parts. Many thanks
Great product, safely packaged, delivered on time, at a competitive price. One more thing - the person on the end of the phone is an actual person, informative, helpful, knowledgeable and pleasant. What more could you ask for.
The sales team were quick responding to our questions, dispatched to us promptly, and the product is a perfect replacement for our old tiller which ended up at the bottom of a lake!
It was time for me to upgrade to a newer Ilca and it was recommended that I get a Devoti. The price was competitive and the service from Andrew and his team was fantastic. I received lots of communication and the boat was delivered to me within 2 weeks. It is really great that Sailing Chandlery take the time to set up the rigging so that you can get straight on the water. I am very pleased with my new boat and am loving sailing it. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Ordered a dyneema RSAero halyard on the Thursday. It arrived by mid day on the Friday and was used on the Saturday. Excellent product and service. Thank you
Cover arrived after three days and is well made and completely covers the boat boom up . The straps and clips all work fine. Good product.
My local chandlery were unable to supply a white inspection hatch and so it was amatter of looking online. Sailing Chandlery had the cover I needed in stock at a good price and delivery. I had never used them before but the service I received was excellent with the delivery on time and the hatch is now fitted.
I will definitely return, especially with the discounts on offer. Thank you Sailing Chandlery!
Always happy with my orders from Sailing Chandlery. They are quick to post and very helpful when I have had a question.
Jason delivered the boat on time at Hayling Island Sailing Club. The boat was new and all the spars were in perfect condition. Jason came to pick up the boat and return the deposit which I gave at the time of the delivery. Every interaction with Andrew and Jason were handled very professionally. I will recommend to any sailor Sailing Chandlery in the future. I really appreciated how easy it was to charter this boat. Thank you very much. Jacques Kerrest
Prompt delivery, with helpful updates and time slot spot on. Perfect new sail at a great price and the number fixing service is well worth it. It even won its first race! Thank you.
I needed GBR letters for the ILCA Europeans and they arrived by the next post.
I made a mistake on my order and it was put right at zero cost to me ! Amazing !
I’ll certainly be back
Product exactly what I wanted
Excellent service and prompt delivery.
