3rd/ Bottoming Taps

A bottoming, or, 'plug', tap has no tapered, front edge. Instead it's tip is ground to a cutting edge meaning that it can create a thread to the bottom of a blind hole.

 

Metric Threads

Metric Coarse threads are in Millimetre (mm/ 1000ths of a metre) units and were developed to simplify the imperial systems. Europe moved to this system but the Americans choose Imperial as their default. A coarse thread has less helical coils per mm and a metric fine threads has more. A Coarse thread (most common/ standard thread) is used for heavier loads and fine is used for lighter loads prone to vibrations.

My item is shown as delivered but it hasn't been?

What can I do if my item is shown as delivered, but it hasn’t been received?
If you’re the recipient:

Check whether the item was sent using a service that obtains a signature on delivery. If it was, do you recognise the name of the person who accepted the item? The name will be provided by the person who accepted the delivery and not always the person on the address label.
If the item was sent to your home, ask anyone else living there if they accepted the delivery. Please also check if the item has been left with a neighbour, or in your designated Safeplace if you have one.
If the item was sent to your work address, check with the post room and your colleagues to see if someone accepted the delivery.
If you bought the item online, check the shipping address was correct.

UPS - Packages over 2 kgs

We use UPS as our preferred courier. Please make sure all details of the address are included as courier drivers will not fill in the gaps, leading to long delays or even loss

 

Fixaball, International Orders.

Offshore and International Shipping

We use Royal Mail, Airmail, Tracked & Signed for international orders.  However, if the order exceeds the maximum weight (2kg) we will use UPS. Often, discounts can be offered on light weight/ high value goods if you email or call. Also, faster delivery can be arranged on your request.  The dispatch window for all of our offshore sales is 1 working day (most likely same day dispatch if ordered before 2pm).

Our delivery services are reliable; however, occasionally there may be a delay due to various unforeseen circumstances (weather, industrial action, holiday seasons). With this in mind, please consider feedback based on what we can control, which is our quick, dispatch time (same day if ordered before 2pm). Our aim is to do everything we can to support you.
