You must comply with all applicable laws and regulations of the country for which the Products are destined. We will not be liable or responsible if you break any such law.

 

How much will delivery cost?

This is calculated in the website's checkout once you have entered your delivery address.

 

When will my order be sent? 

Items are usually sent within 7 working days, with delivery Monday to Friday, 7.30am - 6pm.  Please allow longer during busy times such as the lead up to Christmas. 
We recommend that you do not book a fitter until your goods have been received and checked, as we cannot be held liable for any delays due to missing or damaged items. 
All delivery times are approximate, and we will not be held liable for any compensation as a result of any unexpected delays.
Some products such as the motorised poles have longer lead times and this will be specified in the shipping tab on the product page.

  

Will I get notification once my order is on it's way? 

Once your order has left us you will be notified by email that your order is on its way and can no longer be changed, and also when you can expect this so that you don’t miss your delivery. 
 
In the event of items being undelivered, you will receive notification from the courier or ourselves. Should the items be returned to us there will be a re-delivery charge to resend them to you.  

 

Can I change the due delivery date?  

Items are sent as soon as they are packed, and usually within 7 working days of receipt of order. We will send you an email confirmation at this point confirming the courier used and your parcel tracking numberIf you would prefer to receive your goods much later, please order nearer the required time or let us know before placing the order.  
Once the order has left our premises, you may still be able to change the delivery date by a few days by contacting the courier directly using the tracking number supplied. 

 

How do I track my order? 

You can check the status of your order by using the link in your order confirmation emailed to you. Once your order has been despatched you will also receive a shipping confirmation email containing a delivery tracking link.
If we have despatched your parcel but you don't receive it within the advised time-scales, please let us know. 

 

What happens if I am not in when the courier comes? 

We will send you an email confirmation once your order has left us, confirming the courier used. If your order is sent with DHL Parcel you will also receive the tracking number and they will contact you to let you know when the goods will be delivered. You can rearrange delivery through the link in their text/email. 
If you are not in when the courier tries to deliver they will leave a card. You can follow the instructions on the card to rearrange delivery at a suitable time, however, if the couriers do not hear from you they will usually automatically try to re-deliver the next working day. 
Our couriers will deliver Monday – Friday between 7.30 AM and 6 PM.  
Our Couriers will try to deliver the parcel to you on 2 separate occasions, but if the parcel is then returned to us, we will need to pass on the additional charge for the parcel to be redelivered to you at a later date. 

 

What happens if my parcel arrives and is damaged? 

Our couriers are chosen as being reliable and professional, but occasionally damage may occur in transit. 
Please check your order carefully upon receipt. In the event that there has been any damage to the order in transit to you, you must advise us by 12 noon the day after delivery, so that we can instigate a claim with the courier. 
We will then arrange for a replacement to be sent to you as quickly as possible.
