| Carriage, Handling
and Tax Information
1.
UK Orders
Carriage and handling by first
class post is £4.95 plus vat for orders less than £50
plus vat, and free for orders of greater value. If you require guaranteed
next day delivery or your order to be insured for more than £39,
Special Delivery is an optional extra.
Carriage for small orders (under 1.25kg) is by First Class mail
and goods should arrive the day after despatch. Although 90%+ of
first class packages reach their destination the day after posting
this is not guaranteed. If you wish to be certain to receive your
order the next day, then a Special Delivery service is available
at a £6 surcharge, from the "Manufacturer: Other, Model:
Other" menu in the Product Selector. Special Delivery is available
for orders up to 2kg.
In the case of loss (non arrival
after three weeks) or damage If carriage was by first class mail
we will claim for the missing packet with Royal Mail. This can take
three months or more. When we successfully receive the compensation
we will refund you up to the maximum of £39 payable by Royal
Mail. If you choose Special Delivery when we receive the compensation
we will refund you the entire value of the goods up to £1000.
For larger orders, over 1.3kg,
we generally use a 24 hour carrier service. For offshore areas such
as Northern Ireland and the Channel Islands we will use letter post
up to 2 kg and above that Parcel Force Standard which takes about
3 days.
Orders placed before 3:30pm
will normally go out the same day by post or next day by carrier,
unless there is a stock problem and we advise you otherwise (Monday
to Friday excluding Bank Holidays).
2. EEC Countries
Carriage for small orders (under
2kg) is by recorded International Signed For airmail, and goods
arrive between 2 and 5 working days after dispatch. We normally
insure the goods up to their full value. In the case of loss or
damage we will refund the compensation we receive from the insurance.
For larger overseas orders
we ship as two parcels or use courier or airfreight services.
If your business is tax registered
you may enter the VAT Number to order without sales tax. |
