August Bank Holiday: Delivery Times You Need to Know

With the August bank holiday on Monday 31st August 2026 approaching, we'd like to let you know how it may affect your deliveries.

To help you plan, please keep the following delivery dates in mind:

  • Orders placed on Friday 28th August with next-day delivery will arrive on Tuesday 1st September.
  • Orders placed on Monday 31st August with next-day delivery will arrive on Wednesday 2nd September.

The bank holiday may also cause delays to other deliveries, so we recommend allowing a little extra time when placing orders around this period, particularly for anything time-sensitive.

We know how important reliable delivery is to your business, and we're doing everything we can to minimise any disruption.

Have a question or need to place an urgent order?
Get in touch with our team, and we'll be happy to help.
