Delivery options and how they work
UK Priority Delivery
You need a disc tomorrow? We've got you. Priority is the delivery method you want.
Priority means priority, we'll make sure these orders go out the same day when ordered before 3pm, your order will be tracked and fully insured via Royal Mail, and Priority orders are always the first orders to be processed in the morning on high order volume days.
From the day of ordering, our aim is for your order to be on your doorstep within 2 working days.
UK Standard Delivery
If you are in no rush to get your order, then Standard Delivery is the option for you.
Standard Delivery will be packed once once Priority and International Orders have been packed. This is only an issue when we have high volume order days (special disc drops, black friday, special discount days etc). We do our best to get as many orders out as possible during these times.
ALL orders from Ace are tracked and fully insured via Royal Mail. This gives you, the customer, confidence that if there is every any issues in transit be that if your order is lost or damaged, we have no issues in refunding you or sending you a replacement order as soon as possible.

International Tracked Delivery
All international orders are sent tracked. Your order will be fully insured and fully tracked through its entire journey, which means we have all the information we need to be able to send you a replacement order or fully refund you in case there is an issue with your order. This is the safest and fastest option for your order.
It can take up to 15 working days for international orders to be delivered.

It can be delivered before this, but we want to give you the worse case scenario here.

Customs, Duties and Taxes can be a very confusing topic. We've got some tips below for our international customers.
Information on VAT & Customs for customers in the EU

Information for Norwegian Customers and VOEC
Ace signed up to VOEC early in 2023. This now means all of our Norwegian customers pay for VAT at the checkout and that is it. No more hold ups at customs and shipping will be a lot smoother.
Norwegian customers can purchase as many items as desired and have these items shipped in the same shipment, as long as each item has a value of under NOK 3,000 and is intended for private use.
Since we are collecting the VAT, it can also be expected that your shipments will cross the border faster and less expensively because the transport company no longer needs to declare the goods in TVINN and charge you duty or taxes.
Rest of World VAT & Customs
The rest of the world all have varying limits on order limits before VAT & customs are applicable to your order. Please do check your own countries various importing stipulations out.
