LEAD AND DELIVERY TIMES

 

Please be aware that we need time to create and complete orders. Estimates include three weeks for labels, 4 weeks for exploration boxes and six weeks for framed core. For large orders, personalisation requests or conference core gifts please provide as much lead time as possible.

HANDLING CHARGES

To cover storage of core material, processing and handling, we change a nominal amount which will be included in the overall price. Please check our Services page for individual produce prices.

WHAT IS A CIC? WHY IS NORTH SEA CORE A CIC?

To safeguard all our profits and funding, North Sea Core became a Community Interest Company (CIC) which is a type of limited company set up for social enterprises with specific social objectives. We have a legal provision in place, called an "asset lock", to ensure that all profits generated through our activities are reinvested and used for the benefit of the geoscience community, rather than used as dividend payments. This provision also means that in the event of North Sea Core CIC ceasing to operate, any outstanding balance will be transferred to an equivalent organisation or charity.
