Credit card payment for overdue invoices will be subject to 3% surcharge.

 

DELIVERY

Whilst every effort is taken to minimise delivery time, the company shall not be liable for any loss or damage arising from late or non-delivery due to circumstances beyond the control of the company. Any date named by the company for delivery, whilst given in good faith, is intended as an estimate only and is not the essence of the contract.

RETURNS POLICY – see full current policy in detail on our website
We hope you will be pleased with your purchase. Should you wish to return anything purchased from us, we may be able to refund or exchange a product provided it is in fully resalable condition. Returns must be requested within 14 days and if accepted a returns form and authorisation number will be provided.  This must be enclosed with your returns in original, undamaged packaging.  Items must be returned at your own cost unless we agree to arrange to collect and a collection charge will apply.

If the product has not been returned to us in fully resalable condition, we will refuse a refund for the item. 

Occasionally we may be unable to accept returns (for example during a pandemic or crisis beyond our control).

For products correctly supplied we will deduct up to 20% of the original selling price from the refund amount for a restocking charge to cover our cost and time and transaction charges of 4% will be added for credit card payments and refunds to cover bank charges we incur.

 

CLAIMS
It is the responsibility of the customer to ensure that consignments are correct and undamaged before giving a delivery signature. No claim for goods damaged or lost in transit will be entertained unless we are notified IN WRITING within 3 days of receipt. In the absence of such notification the customer shall be deemed to have accepted the goods in satisfactory order. Goods and packaging must be retained for inspection and photographs should be taken.

 
BACK ORDERS
Unless otherwise specified, out of stock items will be placed on back order and will be supplied as soon as possible up to 90 days from that order date, unless notification is received of cancellation.

 

CLAIMS - CREDIT
A sale or return policy is not normally permitted. Products correctly supplied by the company and returned by the customer may incur a 20% handling charge. Goods may be returned for credit for faulty or damaged goods for which a handling charge will not be applied. Please telephone our sales office for an authorisation number. When returning goods for credit the authorisation number and the invoice number upon which those goods were supplied must be quoted on the return paperwork. Please note that no credit is possible after 6 months from the date of invoice.

 

 

RISK & TITLE

The customer shall keep the company's goods separately identifiable from any other goods until payment is received in full. Notwithstanding the provisions in this clause, responsibility remains with the customer to effect insurance of such goods from the time of receipt.

 

If before title to the Goods passes to the customer the customer suffers an insolvency or bankruptcy event (including liquidation or bankruptcy, entering an arrangement with its creditors, having a receiver or manager appointed, or generally becoming unable to pay its debts as they fall due, then without limiting any other right or remedy the company may have:

a)       The customer’s right to resell the goods or use them in the ordinary course of its business ceases immediately; and

b)       The company may at any time require the customer to deliver up all goods in its possession and if the customer fails to do so promptly, the company may enter any premises of the customer or of any third party where the goods are stored in order to recover them.
