DISPATCH & DELIVERY

Delivery times are an estimate and not guaranteed. 24hr delivery can take anywhere between 1 and 5 working days and 48hr form 2 to 7 working days. Over 90% of orders however are received within the 24hr and 48hr windows.
If you have not received your order within five working days, please contact our office. Tracking data is only held by Royal Mail and Prcelforce for a maximum of 90 days, any enquiries after this cut off date are not possible.

Postal charges for international parcels are calculated by weight and will vary from country to county.
To check the cost of delivery for your order, simply place all the items you wish to purchase in your basket and use the postage calculator on the shopping cart page to calculate shipping costs.

Due to the weight of some of our products, international postage can sometimes be very expensive. It is often possible to reduce postage costs by splitting orders into two parcels and sending them separately.
This calculation is not currently available on the website so please feel free to contact us before placing your order and we will do all we can to reduce the cost of postage for you.

Here at the HSC, wherever possible we try and do our bit for the environment, this includes the packaging materials we use.

If you're not at home when Royal Mail or Parcelforce try to deliver, the driver will return your parcel to the depot or sorting office. A card will be left explaining where your parcel is and what to do next. Often you can arrange for an alternative delivery time or arrange collection yourself.

Although we do accept orders for dispatch to Hotels, we can not be held responsible for any lost items or refused deliveries due to such addresses.

FAQ - BOTTLES

The size of bottle you need is a matter of personal preference and how many pillules you need to store.

Some of our most popular bottles and vials are:

S1SC - this is the same vial as used in the Helios Remedy Kits
D10 - a popular 10ml dropper bottle similar to that used by many of the Bach Flower and Helios remedies
S10 - the same bottle as the D10 but with a screw cap for tablet/pillule storage
D30 - a popular 30ml dropper bottle for liquid storage

If you are unsure about which type of bottle you require, please call our office and we will be more than happy to offer advice on the various options.

Moulded glass bottles are usually made from soda glass and are produced from a mould.

Tubular glass bottles are produced from tubes of neutral glass and contain no soda. This type of glass recommended for long-term storage of homeopathic remedies.

Yes, if desired, all the glass bottles we sell are suitable to be reused after sterilisation.

FAQ - SAC-LAC & TABLETS

Sac-lac, or saccharum lactis, are blank sucrose or lactose pillules or tablets which have not yet been medicated. Our Sac-lac is prepared to quality control standards for medicinal use. Unfortunately it is not currently possible to source an organic variety.

Sucrose pillules are pure sucrose with a small amount of corn starch which acts as a binding agent. Pure lactose tablets are made from milk sugar with a small amount of binder-gum Arabic. We also stock lactose/sucrose tablets, which are harder than pure lactose.

Yes, we sell Xylitol pillules, a sugar alcohol gained by the hydrogenation of the sugar xylose. It is widely used as a tooth-friendly sugar alternative.

NB: Sugar alcohol is not the same as ethanol, the alcohol used in alcoholic beverages, and does not affect the body in the same way.

Your choice of pillule or tablet size is simply a matter of preference. Some practitioners like using larger pillules while others prefer to use smaller ones, especially if they are creating a first aid kit.

Our most commonly purchased pillules is the SL56, this is the same sized pillule as used in the Helios Homeopathy Kits and Remedies.

FAQ - HOMEOPATHIC REMEDIES

No, we are not a pharmacy. We can only sell a selection of Homeopathic Remedies that are licensed to be sold outside of a pharmacy. Visit our Remedies section to view our range.

For all other homeopathic pharmaceutical needs we recommend Helios Homeopathy

This will depend on what type of pillule or tablet you are medicating and also the size of bottle you are filling. For more details you can take a look at The Dispensing Pocket Book, which offers more information on how to medicate remedies.

This can be a time-consuming process! We do sell vials filled with most of our tablets, but these are more expensive than if you fill your own bottles. We sell both a plastic funnel and Wooden Scoop that are suitable for filling some bottles. If you would like more information, please contact us for assistance.
