We are now open on Saturdays & offer Sunday delivery!

We are excited to announce that we are extending our operating hours to include Saturdays! Our warehouse will be open 9:30 am to midday on Saturday mornings for local collections and orders placed before 11am on Saturday have the opportunity for delivery on Sunday.

We understand that your weekdays might be busy, making it challenging to visit our warehouse or be available for deliveries. By extending our hours to Saturdays, we aim to make your shopping experience more flexible and accommodating.

How to Choose Sunday Delivery: When checking out, you’ll now find additional delivery options, including Sunday delivery (Express via Royal Mail Tracked 24). We are only able to offer this service for orders up to certain weights/sizes, so for larger orders you may not see this option.

Important Information: Certain weight and size restrictions apply to our Saturday and Sunday delivery services. Please check the options displayed during checkout for applicable details.

Feel free to get in touch with us if you have any questions or need assistance!

General Update

Christmas is coming quicker than Santa going down every chimney across the world!

Firstly, seasons greetings from all of us here at Glowtopia. The holidays are approaching, and the mulled wine is almost ready to hit the pan. With that in mind, we wanted to give you an update in regards to our opening hours across the Christmas Period, and the final order deadlines.

Our Christmas Opening Hours are as follows:

23rd December – Open 

24th, 25th, 26th, 27th December – Closed

28th, 29th, 30th December – Open

31st December – Closed

1st, 2nd January – Closed

Re-open for business as usual from 3rd January 2023

Last Order Dates:

21st December is the last recommended date for Christmas orders. We are open on 22nd and 23rd December for dispatching orders.

Royal Mail Deliveries:

Wherever possible we would currently recommend avoiding selecting Royal Mail as your delivery option unless you don’t require your order before Christmas. We are seeing considerable delays in their service with the ongoing industrial action taking place.

We would recommend using either DX, or DPD for prompt delivery, however, we cannot guarantee delivery before Christmas.

  • 1st & 2nd December 2022

This will mean some deliveries may be delayed over this period. If you require your order urgently, please consider selecting a different shipping option such as DX or DPD at our checkout page in order to reduce chance of disruption to the delivery of your order. Please note we are unable to guarantee any Royal Mail delivery times over this period and you may need to allow up to 14 days for delivery of orders via Royal Mail.
