How long will delivery of my order take?

All orders are processed the day they are received. Most of our despatch times are next day but can vary per product. When you’ve chosen your product configuration you will see the delivery lead time next to the item price. Additionally, these lead times will also be displayed in your basket and at the checkout.

Note: Ordered items are consolidated into one shipment. Therefore, your order despatch time will be that of the longest in your basket. Should you require an item quicker, please order separately or contact us for more options.

Where products are available for next day delivery, orders should be placed by 1pm to ensure that they are shipped that same day for next day delivery. If placed after 1pm they will be processed on the first working day that the offices are open.  If orders are placed during a weekend or bank holiday, then they will be processed on the first working day that the offices are open.

Can I track the delivery of my order?
Where possible we will provide details for you to track the progress of your delivery. This is available for most courier services but not always for freight deliveries. If you haven’t been provided with any tracking details, then contact us and we will try to help to offer delivery information.
What should I do if my order was damaged in transit?
If the packaging appears damaged, if possible, you should refuse delivery. If delivery refusal isn’t possible then make a note with the carrier when signing for your delivery. Please contact us within 48 hours so we can raise a claim with the carrier. If the packaging looks okay but you have found damaged items inside, please contact us within 15 days of delivery.

Returns

What is your returns policy?

You can review our full returns policy with complete information on our returns page.

How do I return an order?

To begin a return, you must first contact us so we can establish the reasoning and process accordingly. At this stage you will be given an RMA number which is imperative for a return to be accepted and is only valid for 30 days. Then you will need to ship the products back to us by a prepaid and insured carrier method. When received we will process the return and any refunds and/or replacement products. For full details, see our returns page.

What is an RMA number?

An RMA (Return Materials Authorization) number is a reference number used for the returning of products to us. We will not accept any return without one, neither will we process any refunds and/or replacement products. The RMA number allows us to track and store all details about a return and speeds up the returns process. RMA numbers can only be obtained by contacting us and are only valid for 30 days, any products returned after this time will be refused. For more information, see our returns page.

I have returned my order. When can I expect my refund?

Once your return has been received and processed, your refund can take 3-5 working days to complete. This is the time taken by banks, so unfortunately we have no control over this timescale.

Are there any products I can’t return?

We don’t accept returns for the following products:

  • Product(s) without an RMA number or past 30 days of the RMA number being issued;
  • Custom product(s) incorrectly ordered by the customer;
  • Product(s) that have been installed, used, missing parts, or in any condition that isn’t brand new;
  • Product(s) not in original packaging and not adequately packaged;
  • Product(s) that have been altered in any way from their original state

Can I return a bespoke product?

Unfortunately, we cannot accept returns of any bespoke product if incorrectly ordered by a customer. However, if we have made a mistake then we will accept the return and replace accordingly. For more information, see our returns page.
