With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

A funny, heart-warming account of a group of Scouts from a tough neighbourhood in Glasgow.
The great outdoors provided a splash of colour away from their drab and often anti-social housing scheme.
Scouting gave them the self-confidence to take on the world and led to a series of madcap adventures at a time when risk assessment hadn’t been invented!
Troop meetings were initially held in Skipper’s back garden… the camping kit – tents, poles, pegs, cooking pots, big ex-Army dixies, axes and saws – all lived beneath the floor of the kitchen… and this happy gang plodded on with the Pollok version of Scouting for Boys.
One of the boys became Director of Education and secured funding to put 1,000 youngsters through Outward Bound courses every year. All because of the great times he had experienced as a 131 Boy Scout. These kids were from the tough end of society.
“This really is a true Scouting legend”– Bear Grylls OBE, Chief Scout
