Stock location matters. We process orders every day. Items held at the shop in Lane End are dispatched per the schedule above, and are ready to collect the same day you order if you order during opening hours — including Saturday and Sunday. Items held at our warehouse are sent directly to you and may take 1–2 additional working days; if you'd rather collect a warehouse item, it comes to the shop first and is ready from the following Wednesday. Not sure which applies to your order? WhatsApp us with the product name and we'll confirm before you order. Northern Ireland, Highlands and Channel Islands may take an additional 1–2 working days regardless of stock location. UKARA-required RIFs without UKARA at checkout add 1+ working day for verification — see below.

UKARA verification — RIFs & pistols

UK law requires us to verify your defence before shipping any realistic imitation firearm (RIF). Two paths — fastest if you add your UKARA when you order.

✅ Fastest

Add UKARA at checkout

Enter your UKARA number (or accepted defence) in the notes field when you order. We check it against the register and dispatch with no extra delay — same schedule as any other order.

Result: ships next dispatch day, no contact required.

⚠ Slower

Order without UKARA

If your order is for a non-two-tone RIF without UKARA details, we'll email you before processing to request your defence. Your order stays on hold until we hear back.

Result: adds at least 1 working day, often more if there's a delay in replying.

Don't have UKARA yet? Register by playing 3 games over 56+ days at Skirmish Wycombe — we're co-located, so the safe zone is also our walk-in shop. Without a defence, you can still order two-tone (VCRA-exempt) rifles — no UKARA required.

Frequently asked questions

When is my dispatch day? +
We process orders every day, but shop-stock items are dispatched from Lane End on Wednesday, Thursday and Friday only — the shop is closed Monday and Tuesday. See the schedule table above for the exact day. In short: shop-stock orders placed before 1pm Wed–Fri ship the same day. Orders placed after 1pm on Wednesday or Thursday roll to the next dispatch day. Anything placed from 1pm Friday onwards, or on Saturday, Sunday, Monday or Tuesday, is dispatched the following Wednesday. Warehouse items are sent directly to you and aren't tied to the shop's dispatch days, though they typically add 1–2 working days. We are looking to expand this and will do so as soon as we can
What's the difference between shop-stock and warehouse-stock items? +
Items physically held at the shop in Lane End ship per the schedule above — fast, and ready to collect the same day if you'd rather pick them up. Items held at our warehouse are sent directly to you rather than coming to the shop first, which adds 1–2 working days but means they can go out on days the shop is closed. Most fast-moving products (BBs, common parts, popular RIFs) are held in shop stock. Specialist or high-value items may be warehouse-only. If you need to know whether your specific item is shop-stock before ordering, WhatsApp us with the product name.
Do you ship to Northern Ireland / Highlands / Channel Islands? +
Yes — but delivery may take 1–2 extra working days and some restricted items (pyrotechnics, certain gas products) can't be shipped to these regions. The checkout will flag any restrictions before you complete payment.
What happens if I'm not home for delivery? +
For rifles (RIFs), the named recipient must sign — the courier will attempt re-delivery the next working day or leave a card for collection at a local pickup point. For smaller parcels, a card will be left if no-one's home. RIFs are never left in safe places or with neighbours.
Can I collect from the shop instead? +
Yes — choose "Local Pickup" at checkout. Shop-stock items are ready the same day you order, during opening hours — order on a Sunday morning and you can collect that Sunday. Warehouse items have to come to us first, so they're ready from the following Wednesday. The schedule table above shows the collection window for each order day. Orders are ready at Skirmish Wycombe / Titan Forge Airsoft, Fryers Farm Lane, Lane End, High Wycombe HP14 3NP, open Wed–Sun. For UKARA-required rifles, bring valid ID matching the order.
My order hasn't arrived — what should I do? +
First check the tracking link in your dispatch email. Couriers consider a parcel lost after 5–10 working days depending on the service. If tracking shows delivered but you haven't received it, check with neighbours and your local sorting office first. Then contact us with your order number — we'll open a claim with the courier on your behalf.
My order is over £150 — why is it showing a delivery cost? +
Exclusions apply to selected items, and oversized items such as large hard cases.
