- Unless you choose to collect the goods from our trade counter and except in exceptional circumstances (as contemplated in clause 11), we aim to deliver the goods in accordance with your order usually within the stated delivery time (except in exceptional circumstances) but not more than 30 days after the day you place your order, unless otherwise agreed between you and us, subject always to clauses 5 and 11. We reserve the right to deliver an order in instalments by separate delivery shipments. Further information about delivery of our goods can be found at ***insert link here***
- Before placing your order, please refer to the delivery options set out on our website to ensure that we can deliver to your address. A valid signature may be required on collection or delivery. In the unlikely event that you have not received all the goods within the stated delivery time, you must notify us immediately.
- For reasons of health and safety and to avoid any property damage, items dispatched via a pallet delivery service can only be delivered to the exterior of a ground floor location at the delivery address and on to hard standing. You must therefore make your own arrangements at your own risk if the relevant item needs to be transported from the delivery location. We will not provide any unpacking, installation, fitting or waste removal services upon delivery unless otherwise agreed by us in writing.
- You must do all that you reasonably can to enable delivery to take place at the given time and place. If you delay delivery, or delivery fails because you have not taken appropriate steps, we will try to arrange for an alternative delivery date within 30 days of the failed delivery. If delivery fails as a result of circumstances within your reasonable control, the cost of any re-delivery shall be borne by you. If we are unable to arrange a date for re-delivery we may cancel your order and refund to you the price that you have paid for the goods, less the failed delivery costs.
- Without prejudice to clause 4.4, upon delivery of the goods to you or collection of the goods by you, the goods shall be at your risk and responsibility. In spite of delivery or collection, ownership (also known as “title”) in the goods shall not pass to you until you have paid the price for the goods in full and, where other sums payable to us from you are overdue, you have paid those sums too. Until title in the goods passes from us to you, you shall: (i) not be entitled to use the goods; (ii) safely hold the goods for us; (iii) return the goods to us immediately if we ask you to; and (iv) be liable to us for any loss, damage or destruction of the goods. In addition, until title in the goods passes from us to you, you shall store the goods at your own cost separately from all other goods in your possession and marked in such a way that they are clearly identified as our property. You grant us an irrevocable licence to enter, with or without vehicles, any of your premises for the purpose of inspecting or repossessing the goods.
- Availability
- All goods are subject to availability. While we endeavour to hold sufficient stock to meet all orders and purchases, if we have insufficient stock to supply or deliver the goods ordered and paid for by you, we will attempt to contact you using the details you have provided to us to ask you how you wish to proceed. We may, at our discretion, process any part of the order which is available.
- Manufacturer’s Warranties & Guarantees
- Some of our goods are sold with a manufacturer’s warranty, guarantee or similar assurance (please see the relevant product description on our website for further details). Any complaint, query or claim under a manufacturer’s warranty, guarantee or similar assurance must be made direct to the manufacturer and we do not have any responsibility or liability under or in connection with any such warranty, guarantee or assurance.

- Cancellation, Returns & Refunds

- We reserve the right to make a deduction from the amount of the refund for loss in value of the goods returned, where the goods show signs of unreasonable use; for these purposes, unreasonable use includes handling the goods beyond what is necessary to establish the nature, characteristics and functioning of the goods. We may withhold any refund until we have received the goods or you have supplied proof of return for the goods.
- Where you are returning an incorrectly-supplied product, we will cover the cost of returning the item(s) via Royal Mail Recorded Delivery (please do not send them via Special Delivery), up to the value of £10. If the postage costs will be greater than £10, you should contact us using the details set out below at clause 14 and we will arrange for the item(s) to be collected.
- If you are returning goods for exchange, where the goods were neither incorrectly-supplied nor faulty, we will not be liable for your postage costs. If your order originally qualified for free postage, any refund will exclude the original postage cost; exchanges will incur the cost of posting the replacement item(s) to you. In this instance, we may offer a courier ‘swap-out’ service where the exchanged goods will be collected and the replacement items delivered at the same time, for a set fee of £20.00 +VAT. If you wish to take advantage of this service, please indicate this when giving notification of your intention to return goods. We will contact you as part of the returns process to arrange any necessary payment.
- Your right of return or exchange does not apply to goods that are cut or mixed to your requirements, made to measure, made to your specifications or clearly personalised. Your right of return does not apply to goods which are not suitable for return due to health protection or hygiene reasons, if you have opened the product packaging after delivery or collection.
- If you are returning goods for refund or exchange, where the goods were neither incorrectly-supplied nor faulty, we reserve the right to impose a 25% handling fee. Special order items are unable to be returned without fault.
- We will refund you using the same means of payment as you used to pay for your order or purchase. We reserve the right to issue refund by means of a credit note for returned items where the goods were neither incorrectly-supplied nor faulty.
- Upon giving notice of your intention to return goods, you must return the goods to us (together with the original packaging) without undue delay and in any event within 14 days after the day of notification and within 28 days of purchase (as indicated in clause 7.2.1)25at your cost (subject to clause 7.2.5), unless we agree that you may dispose of them, in which case please comply with the manufacturer’s instructions before disposing of hazardous goods. You must return goods with all components and also any promotional items received (including free gifts) or discounted additional products.
- Faulty Goods
- Where the goods are being returned because they are faulty, we will meet the cost of return delivery but we ask that you allow us to nominate the carrier. Your right to return goods in these circumstances is not limited to the 28 day period in clause 7.2.1.
- Without prejudice to your right to cancel orders generally under this clause 7, if you have notified us of a problem with the goods within 28 days of delivery or collection, we may at our option either offer to make good any shortage or non-delivery; replace or repair any goods that are damaged or defective upon delivery or collection; or cancel the order (or part of the order affected) and refund to you the amount paid by you for the goods in question.
- If an item develops a fault after 28 days following delivery or collection, and where the manufacturer has provided a helpline, repair service or warranty, you should contact the manufacturer direct. If there is no such service or warranty with the product, in most instances we will either offer a repair or where this is not possible we will replace the item with the same or an equivalent model.
