In some instances we offer the option to secure items in advance with our preorder service! Preorders are given top priority, so as soon as your items arrive, they’ll be dispatched ahead of all other orders to get them to you quickly.
If your order contains a mix of preorder and in-stock items, we’ll hold the full order until everything is ready to ship. For faster delivery of in-stock items, we recommend placing preorder items in a separate order.
We’re here to keep you updated along the way, so please feel free to contact us at any time for an update on your preorder.
The Zip North team of Ian and Theresa have partnered with KKC to give you an even larger product range and a well stocked showroom at Whilton Mill. But we are still available for order queries and advice.
