Doesn't Amazon run a shipping hub out of London? If so they may do same day delivery.

Either way, you're hedging the cost of a bat vs the chance that riots are going to go on for multiple days, or spring up outside of your shop?

Next day delivery if ordered before a certain time (5pm I think, might be 7pm). I'd place money on the riots still being around by the time an order placed today arrived.

Presuming, that is, that delivery is running normally.
