HOW TO ORDER FROM CLASSIC OILS

Overview
You can order on this website or by telephone on 01869 227062.  Out of office hours there is an answerphone, and we will respond to all messages on the next working day. 

Shipping Options
If you order online, shipping is calculated on the total weight of the purchase, so you will find that the system automatically adds up the weight of every item in the order and calculates the appropriate shipping options and costs.  Most orders qualify for our Express Mainland service, with delivery the next working day from despatch.  Our preferred courier is DHL, as we have found that they are fast and reliable.

For most mainland UK addresses, internet orders over £60 qualify for free next-day shipping. Sorry, but this offer excludes the postcodes shown below, but we have reduced our carriage rates on these services; please call for details.

All shipments are fully insured.

There is also the free-of-charge option to collect from our shop at The Lubricant Store, Bicester Heritage.  If you wish to collect from Bicester, please call in advance to confirm we have stock or wait for our email notification that your order is ready for collection.  We aim to have every product on our website available, although stock levels do fluctuate, particularly during the summer show season.

Regional Limitations

International Shipping
As of 21/12/2020 we have temporarily suspended international shipping pending clarification of the UK border situation. Unfortunately this includes Northern Ireland for the time being.
We ship by road to many European countries, all of which are listed as delivery options at checkout.  It may be possible to ship to other countries, subject to the restrictions on liquids in hold cargo, if you live in a country not listed in our shipping options, please email us for delivery options and pricing.

Shipping Limitations - Metal Containers
Shipping liquids is difficult and risky but we pack all orders with great care, using a double packing technique and including hand-holds for the courier to make it less likely the box is dropped or put upside down during transit.  Unfortunately, despite these provisions there is a risk of cosmetic damage to metal containers, which by their nature are more vulnerable than poly containers.  The only safe way to completely avoid this risk is to collect metal containers either from our our store or next show.

Personal Collection
Of course you are always welcome to either pop into our shop, or arrange to meet us at one of the 30-odd shows we exhibit at annually - just call in advance to make sure that our plans haven't changed at short notice, or to let us know if you would like us to bring specific products to the show for you.
We accept cash, card and cheque payments in the shop and at shows, where we have a mobile card terminal.

We look forward to meeting you and to discussing your Classic's lubrication requirements!
