Once we have checked the price and availability of goods, your order will be accepted and the contract will be formed as soon as you receive our shipping notification e-mail.

Delivery Time
Our aim is always to despatch your goods as quickly as possible. Some items, we are able to deliver in as little as 24 hours from ordering. The majority of items will be despatched within 3 days of receiving your order.
Delivery TipsWe ask, that you do not to book the installation of your goods, prior to you receiving them. Due to circumstances beyond our control, occasionally, dates may change without notice.
Delivery Area
We are pleased to deliver to all of mainland UK. Unfortunately, due to previous experience we are unable to deliver outside of the UK. This includes Ireland, The Channel Islands and other offshore destinations.
In some cases, due to additional charges levied by our couriers there may be a small delivery charge for your goods. This tends to be limited to Scotland, and you will be shown the additional charge when you checkout. We stress that this is only the case in an absolute minority of orders and we only pass this charge on if we are charged ourselves.
Some of the remote post code areas attracting this charge are ZE, BT, IM, AB, DG, EH, FK, G, KA, KY, ML, IV, KW, PA, PO30-PO31 and PH, these areas will incur an additional charge which will be shown to you at the checkout.
Delivery Process
We only use the best national courier services to deliver your parcel. Your delivery will arrive courtesy of Fedex.
If you are not there to receive the delivery, the courier will leave a card so that you can re-arrange delivery at a suitable time for you. If you re-arrange the delivery and are not there at the arranged time, then a missed delivery charge of £15.00 may be added to your card to cover our costs (this does not happen in the majority of re-delivery cases).
Deliveries are door to door, or in the case of items on a pallet, kerb to kerb. It is very important you have enough people available on the day to handle the goods once they are at the door / kerbside.
Delivery is free on most items, however some items will carry a delivery charge to mainland UK destinations, and this will be quoted to you at the checkout.
Due to constant change in the wholesale prices of goods, we reserve the right to amend our prices without prior notification. Should this affect any order you have placed, we will of course contact you to discuss your order.
Receiving your Parcel
Our courier will deliver the goods direct to your door, and will require a signature from the person accepting the delivery. We can not claim for any damage to the goods caused by the courier if you sign for them as “received in good condition”, which is standard on most courier’s delivery notes. If you notice any sign of damage at all (even to the box), have concerns, or the courier refuses to let you check the goods, please mark the delivery note as “box damaged” at the time of signing.
Signing as Unexamined or Unchecked will not cover you for insurance purposes so please either check carefully before signing or if the driver can’t / will not wait, sign for the parcel as damaged.
