Delivery & Returns Policy

Delivery

Each item on our website has it’s own unique standard delivery timescale which is shown on the product page. If the item is on pre-order, it will also show the availability date on the product page. Please note, the availability date is the date that the product is due back in stock. After this date, the standard delivery timescale applies. We do try to get items to you as quickly as possible an may be quicker than the standard timescale shown so please contact us if you require an item quickly.

*Please note that Next Day Delivery is applicable only to UK Mainland orders placed and with cleared payments before midday. We deliver Monday to Friday, so orders placed with cleared payments before midday on Friday will be delivered the following Monday (excluding Bank Holidays) or as per the standard delivery timescale shown on the item. If you arrange with the courier to deliver at the weekend this will be an arrangement between yourself and the courier and you would be responsible for any extra cost and the contact with the courier.

Our preferred couriers for the UK and Ireland are DPD, DX, Parcelforce and DHL although they endeavour to provide times delivery slots this will not always be possible.

For the UK, Ireland and European Zones listed below, the shipping price will be calculated depending on the items in your basket and the delivery address.

Please remember the Golden Rule when ordering online – someone must be available to take delivery. For security reasons, most orders require a signature upon delivery. However if you instruct the courier to leave your order in a safe place or with a neighbour, ownership passes to you once the order is delivered accordingly. We cannot be held responsible for any loss incurred as a result of the courier following your specified delivery instructions. Our delivey service is to the front door of the delivery address only. Under no circumstances is the courier obliged to transport a consignment into the premises at the delivery address.Please note for larger, heavy items such as some furniture and outdoor items, these may be curbside deliveries only due to the size and weight and customers will have to make their own arrangements to take these from the curbside to the desired location. These may or may not be on pallets. For further details, please contact our customer service team prior to delivery. The courier do reserve the right to deliver to a neighbour if the customer is not in and by accepting our terms and conditions on ordering you accept this condition of delivery.

We do our utmost to ensure orders are delivered on time and in the majority of cases provide a one-hour time slot. However, please note that we cannot guarantee the time slots provided by couriers as:

Consignments of more than one parcel can occasionally be split and so may be delivered separately and;
Parts of your order may come from different warehouses and so be delivered at different times.

If you have any concerns about the delivery of your order, please do not hesitate to contact us to discuss.

All shipping costs are based on the rates that our couriers charge us. We are able to ship most products to most locations worldwide; if you would like to make an enquiry, please contact us.

Please note that quoted delivery timescales apply to UK mainland Standard Delivery orders only; orders shipped to other locations or where free delivery is selected may take longer. Whilst we make every effort to provide a next day delivery service for UK mainland, we cannot guarantee this service as it may from time to time be affected by adverse weather conditions or other circumstances beyond our control. We make every effort to meet delivery timescales and will update you accordingly should any delays arise. We cannot be held responsible for any losses related to courier delays. Non-Mainland UK delivery timescales vary according to the shipping address. Please contact us for further information.

Orders placed on or the day before a Bank Holiday will not be processed for dispatch until the next working day.

Although we and our couriers make every effort to get the items to you within the timescales given this is not a 100% guaranteed service. This is because from time to time things can go wrong such as mechanical failure and even human error. We cannot be held responsible for any delays that are out of our control.

Please note that if the courier informs us that the item is delivered then this will be taken as delivered unless you inform us that you haven’t got the item within 7 days of the tracking details being added to your order. Aftre this time we cannot guarantee that the couriers can investigate missing items.

Orders containing more than one product or products that are comprised of more than one parcel can sometimes be split in transit. As a result, your order may be delivered in separate deliveries.

If you refuse delivery of your order or fail to respond to the calling card left by the courier, it will be returned to our warehouse. When an order is returned to our warehouse due to any of the abovementioned reasons, a return shipping cost is payable (as charged by the courier). We will wait for you (the customer) to contact us and confirm how you wish to proceed before processing any refund.

Items that are found to be faulty can be returned within 30 days. If your order/item is faulty please contact us for returns information. We recommend that customers check their orders/items as soon as they are received as even if unopened faulty items can only be returned up to 30 days from receipt.
