With Pre-Order, you can purchase the latest items added to our store in advance of them arriving with us.
Your Pre-Order is prioritised (at no additional charge); meaning that as soon as the product arrives with us, we can wrap it straight back up; ready for collection via Click & Collect or despatch to you — it often never even hits the stock room shelves!
With Pre-Launch, the date when we expect to receive the product ourselves is still a little too hazy to be confident in accepting Pre-Orders.
So, instead, you can submit your email address against the item you are interested in and we will email you as soon as stock arrives on the system.
Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates are given on Pre-Order and Pre-Launch products. They are for indication purposes only and can change at any time without notice.
The dates we provide are based on indications given by our suppliers. Whenever we get updated information from our suppliers we will endeavour to update the Estimated Delivery & Collection Dates provided on product pages.

Tractor Ted takes you on a trip to the farm where some really big machines are at work to harvest the wheat and build a new barn to store the grain. Machines include articulated haulers, excavators, cement mixers and many more... a BIG read for little people! Inside these 32 pages are beautiful colour photographs showing modern machinery and up to date farming methods. From the excitement of leafing through the big close ups of combine harvesters, tipping trailers, mixers, diggers and loaders, your children will be guided through the process of harvesting the wheat crop before storing it in an enormous barn before it goes to the millers. To add to the excitement, the construction of one of East Anglia's biggest grain storage barns includes a host of fantastic big machinery and an insight into the careful storage of the crop to keep it safe for us to use in food. A book that captures little ones and fills them with useful knowledge that is part of the Early Years Foundation stage of the curriculum to engage with the world around them.
Why not purchase the accompanying Big Machines and More Big Machines DVDs. 40 minutes of machinery heaven and a sure fire way to take some downtime while your littlies absorb lots of great information about modern day farm work. There are nursery rhyme style songs to join in with and word recognition tasks that engage the kiddies. Both are in Tractor Ted's Top Ten!
