Delivery & Dispatch
Do you offer free UK shipping?

Certain products, including lithium batteries and other Dangerous Goods, are excluded from free shipping due to carrier regulations and additional handling requirements. Any applicable battery shipping charge will be calculated at checkout.
How quickly will my order be dispatched?
We aim to dispatch orders as quickly as possible, often on the same working day depending on stock availability and courier collection times.
Dispatch and delivery times may vary depending on product availability, shipping method selected, and destination.
Do you offer next-day delivery?

Batteries & International Deliveries
Why aren't batteries included in free UK shipping?
Lithium batteries are classified as Dangerous Goods and require specialist handling during transport. Because of this, battery shipping costs cannot be included in our standard free UK delivery offer and are calculated separately at checkout.
Can batteries be shipped internationally?
In many cases, yes. However, restrictions vary between countries and shipping carriers.
Please contact us before ordering if you require batteries to be shipped internationally.
Before placing your order, please check the FedEx website to confirm whether batteries, classified as Dangerous Goods, can be shipped to your address.
If FedEx cannot deliver to your address, please arrange an alternative address where collection is possible. Unfortunately, 3DXR cannot arrange this on your behalf.
Please email info@3dxr.co.uk to request a quote before ordering.
Please include the following:
- Product name(s) or links
- Quantity required
- Billing address
- Delivery address
- Contact name
- Contact number
Can I return a battery?
Due to the consumable nature of batteries, 3DXR operates a strict 3-day return policy from the date of receipt. Batteries should be inspected and tested immediately upon arrival.
If you believe a battery is faulty, please contact info@3dxr.co.uk with your order number and photographic evidence where applicable. Batteries must not be returned without prior authorisation.
Products & Compatibility
How can I check whether a component is suitable for my system?
We recommend reviewing the product description, technical specifications, manufacturer documentation, and relevant community forums before making a purchase.
Product selection often depends on a range of factors, including your application, budget, personal preferences, existing equipment, and software requirements. For this reason, the final suitability of a product is the responsibility of the customer.
If you are still unsure, you are welcome to contact us with details of your system and the product(s) you are considering. Our team may be able to provide general guidance; however, we cannot guarantee compatibility or recommend specific products for every application.
Please note that response times may vary depending on enquiry volume and the complexity of the information requested.
What if an item is out of stock?
If a product is out of stock, you can use the "Notify Me When Available" button on the product page to receive an email when stock is replenished.
We place regular orders with our suppliers and frequently receive new stock, so we recommend checking the website regularly for updates.
If you would like an update on availability, expected lead times, or wish to place a larger order, please contact info@3dxr.co.uk. Our team will be happy to assist and discuss any specific requirements.
