A)
Any times quoted for delivery are estimates and the
Company shall not be liable for failure to deliver within
the time quoted. However it is our normal practice to
despatch orders on the same day if received by 4 pm
if the product is in stock. If the product is not in
stock we will advise you and make you aware of our 5
day preauthorization period and give you the option
to cancel the order or allow us to put it on back order.
B) We try to offer a fair delivery service - most of
our small items delivered with the UK are currently
delivered by first class royal mail. From our experience
over the last 5 years we have found that the vast majority
of items are delivered within a few days, in fact many
of our customers comment to us that they are amazed
when they see the order arrive early the next morning.
However on the other hand there is the rare occasion
when the post can take up to two weeks. The Royal Mail
currently claim that 90% of mail is delivered next day
and I would probably agree, after all delivering 82
million packages every day cannot be easy.
C) We also
offer a Free upgrade to Recorded Delivery for all orders
placed with a value of over £20. For added security
and piece of mind your goods will go First Class Recorded,
you will only pay for Standard First Class Post.
D) All our
product is bought brand new from their respective Manufacturers/Distributors.
In some cases, we buy in bulk with minimum packaging,
in others they may be blister packed. In some cases
we will remove the blister packing to reduce postal
costs for all. This also has the benifit of reducing
the waste you need to dispose of. This does not affect
any of your statutory rights.
Having read
the Post office small print

we have realised that the Royal Mail will compensate
for late delivery if you can prove it and you have the
patience to do this. Essentially you need to have proof
of posting and proof of delivery and then they have
to accept that the problem is not down to incorrect
address or any of the other exclusions they have listed.
Please note that we use an AUTOMATED method of inputting
your order this means that the address is inputted exactly
as you enter it on the order . We will look out for
obvious errors but cannot be held responsible for your
errors which may cause a delay.
We send out
lots of mail each day and the majority is sent by normal
first class post, we do not currently get proof of posting
for every single item as this would not be viable.We
are a reliable company and we are all taking the risk
that you are going to be in the lucky 90% as this is
the most economical method. The Royal Mail do not class
post as lost for at least 2
weeks so if you choose to take the risk of standard
first class then you will have to accept this.
We do offer
recorded post as an option and as such will get a signature
at point of collection and a tracking number which will
obviously help possible subsequent claims we may wish
to pursue .We have also found that generally the recorded
options do get delivered faster and as such have included
this as an option to choose.
We do also
offer a guaranteed next day option but it is best to
check that the product is in stock prior to choosing
this , we generally have most items ex stock but on
occasion we do find that certain items become very popular.
Depending on the weight and value we will choose either
citylink or the Royal Mail . It is important that you
choose an address that will have someone there to sign
for the goods . PO BOX NUMBERS do cause a problem because
no-one is available for signature.
