The postage you pay us is for return postage and the postage calculated in checkout is an estimate, actual postage can cost a few pounds more or less.

A typical service by us cleans the clippers, replaces the motor brushes if worn, the drive crank/lever if worn, re-greases gears, tests  batteries and PAT tests for electrical safety and costs around £30 to £50. We source our parts at good prices and don’t charge for unnecessary work, so our overall price is competitive.

Turnaround
We normally service and return your clippers within 2 or 3 working days though occasionally it may take longer.

Packaging
We recommend sending clippers in a cardboard box with padding.  Some people send them in a plastic case which postage more expensive.  You can include clipper blades you would like sharpened for £7 per set and wrap these individually within your parcel to avoid damage.

You may wish to use a fully tracked service with insurance for security and items lost or damaged in transit to us are not our responsibility.  In our experience close to zero parcels get lost with Royal Mail.

Payment
You can pay for your clipper service on this website by adding it to your shopping cart and checking out.  Or send your clippers with contact details and a covering note and once assessed we will email a report with a link to pay.
