Christmas 2024: Delivery Information and Timescale
Delivery Information
As always, we here at Patrol Base will do our absolute utmost to ensure your items are dispatched in time for Christmas and are already working double time to keep up!
Being a busy time of year for couriers, we recommend getting your Christmas orders in as soon as you possibly can to avoid delays and potential disappointment.
If you are reading this and the big day is only a week or so away, you can still place standard orders for next day delivery up until 3:30 PM on the 20th of December, including a selection of Pre Two-Tone Airsoft guns for those who want to get into the sport this Christmas.
Hopefully, with plenty of time left you can make this Christmas one to remember for any Airsofters in your life who have been good enough to deserve a gift this year!
